Abstract

Tilting bundles provide a fundamental bridge between algebraic geometry and representation theory. For a tilting bundle on a smooth proper $d$-dimensional variety, the global dimension of its endomorphism algebra is at least $d$, and the most meaningful case is when this lower bound is attained. Such a tilting bundle, called a $d$-tilting bundle, fits into the framework of the derived McKay correspondence and higher Auslander--Reiten theory. The first main result of this paper shows that the existence of such a bundle forces the variety to be weak Fano: more precisely, if a smooth proper $d$-dimensional variety admits a $d$-tilting bundle, then its anti-canonical bundle is semiample and big. As a consequence, the endomorphism algebra of a $d$-tilting bundle is $d$-representation tame, so the geometry naturally produces higher-dimensional analogues of extended Dynkin quivers. Second, we prove a converse in dimension two: every weak del Pezzo surface over an algebraically closed field admits a $2$-tilting bundle. Together, these results give an affirmative answer to a conjecture posed by Daniel Chan for the variety case: a smooth projective surface admits a $2$-tilting bundle if and only if it is a weak del Pezzo surface. As an application, we construct non-commutative crepant resolutions (NCCRs) of anti-canonical cones over Du Val del Pezzo surfaces. Such an NCCR is obtained as the $3$-Calabi--Yau completion of the endomorphism algebra of a $2$-tilting bundle on the corresponding weak del Pezzo surface. This extends the known construction for smooth del Pezzo surfaces to the Du Val case and places Du Val del Pezzo cones within the framework of the derived McKay correspondence via higher Auslander--Reiten theory.

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.

Complete quasimaps to $\mathsf{Bl}_{\mathbb{P}^s}(\mathbb{P}^r)$

We introduce a moduli space of ``complete quasimaps'' to $\mathsf{Bl}_{\mathbb{P}^s}(\mathbb{P}^r)$. The construction, following previous work for curves on projective spaces, essentially proceeds by blowing up Ciocan-Fontanine--Kim's space of quasimaps at loci where sections of line bundles are linearly dependent. We conjecture that tautological intersection numbers on these moduli spaces give enumerative counts of curves of fixed complex structure on $X$ subject to general incidence conditions, in contrast with traditional compactifications of the moduli spaces of maps. A result of Farkas guarantees that these spaces are pure of expected dimension. The conjecture is proven in dimension 2, where the main input is a Brill-Noether theorem for general curves on toric surfaces.
