Semiorthogonal decompositions of projective spaces from small quantum cohomology

Abstract

In a recent article Halpern-Leistner defines the notion of quasi--convergent path in the space of Bridgeland stability conditions. Such a path induces a semiorthogonal decomposition of the derived category. We investigate quasi-convergent paths in the stability manifold of projective spaces and answer positively to two questions posed by Halpern-Leistner. We construct quasi-convergent paths that start from the geometric region of the stability space and whose central charge is given by a fundamental solution of the quantum differential equation. We also construct quasi-convergent paths whose central charges are the quantum cohomology central charges defined by Iritani.

Lawson--Deligne Classes and Applications

We construct the integral Lawson--Deligne map of weight $q=n-p-k-1$ on smooth complex projective $n$-folds using filtered currents. It lifts the Friedlander--Mazur cycle class, recovers the reduced generalized Abel--Jacobi invariant on homologically trivial classes, and is compatible with algebraic correspondences. A Picard--Fuchs separation argument applied to the conic and van Geemen normal functions on the mirror quintic determines explicit regulator subspaces modulo the full rational period group. For prescribed elliptic moduli and a suitable mirror-quintic fiber, the subspace generated by their $a$- and $b$-loop products has dimension twice the $\Q$-dimension of the period-monomial space. Moduli $i\sqrt{\ell_j}$ for distinct primes $\ell_j$ give $2^{k+1}$ independent images on varieties of dimension $p+k+2$; one repeated imaginary quadratic modulus gives dimension four for every $k\geq1$. Compatibility with known projective-bundle and blow-up decompositions yields independent exceptional subspaces on smooth rational varieties. We also compare the higher Chow composite with the Bloch--KLM regulator after lowering the Hodge filtration. The KLM representative reduces to a cut-current class, and equality with the Lawson composite is proved in degree zero and for constant-unit decomposable classes. The general positive-degree comparison is reduced to an explicit filtered-realization condition.

Border rank lower bounds for families of GL(V)-invariant tensors

We give non-trivial lower bounds for the border rank of families of $\mathbf{GL}(V)$-invariant tensors in $U\otimes \mathbf{S}_λV\otimes \mathbf{S}_μV$ where $U$ is $V$, $\mathrm{Sym}^2V$ or $\bigwedge^2V$. In particular, we provide a family of tensors with border rank reaching arbitrarily close to $2\ell$ in the unbalanced case, where $\ell$ is the largest ambient vector space dimension. We do this by resolving a conjecture introduced by Wu, and obtaining new results on $6j$-symbols as a byproduct. We then generalize our results to $\mathrm{Sym}^2V$ and $\bigwedge^2 V$ using novel techniques based on an application of a theorem of Kostant and Kempf collapsing.

Maximally nodal sextic surfaces and linear determinantal representations

We prove that every maximally nodal sextic surface (with 65 nodes) $X \subset \mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^3$ contains a symmetric half-even set of nodes of cardinality 35. It follows that the associated half-quadratic sheaf is the cokernel of a symmetric $6 \times 6$ matrix of linear forms, yielding a linear determinantal representation of $X$. In particular, after a suitable Serre twist, the half-quadratic sheaf is an Ulrich sheaf of rank 1. As an example, we exhibit an explicit $6 \times 6$ matrix of linear forms whose determinant defines the Barth sextic surface.
