Küchle fivefolds of type c5

Abstract

We show that Küchle fivefolds of type (c5) --- subvarieties of the Grassmannian Gr(3,7) parameterizing 3-subspaces that are isotropic for a given 2-form and are annihilated by a given 4-form --- are birational to hyperplane sections of the Lagrangian Grassmannian LGr(3,6) and describe in detail these birational transformations. As an application, we show that the integral Chow motive of a Küchle fivefold of type (c5) is of Lefschetz type. We also discuss Küchle fourfolds of type (c5) --- hyperplane sections of the corresponding Küchle fivefolds --- an interesting class of Fano fourfolds, which is expected to be similar to the class of cubic fourfolds in many aspects.

G3-Criteria and Applications

The G3-property of a subvariety was introduced by Hironaka-Matsumura, and plays an important role for deducing connectedness and extension results. Unfortunately, it's a rather elusive notion, which is not always easy to establish. Most of the existing work is concentrated on subvarieties of homogeneous varieties. The first goal of this article is to show that mobility assumptions on the subvariety, considered in works of Badescu, Chow, Debarre, Voisin, yield a certain partial positivity property, slightly stronger than G3, previously introduced by the author. Second, we apply the result to prove that, in numerous situations, the splitting of the normal bundle of a smooth two-codimensional subvariety implies that it is a complete intersection.

Nodal degeneration of chiral algebras I: Global structure and gluing formula

We define a natural extension of a universal factorization algebra $\mathcal{A}$ to families of stable punctured curves, by integrating over all semistable modifications. We prove that the resulting sheaf of factorization homology satisfies a natural gluing formula, by tensoring over a certain derived associative algebra $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^0$, generalizing the Verlinde formula for gluing of conformal blocks.
