3 Calabi-Yau manifolds Definition A Calabi-Yau (CY) manifold is a compact, simply connected Kähler manifold (X, J) such that K X = det T X is trivial. Such a manifold possesses a closed (1, 1)-form B + iω, a complexified Kähler form. H 1 (X, T X ) parametrizes deformations of the complex structure H 1 (X, Ω 1 X ) parametrizes deformations of the complexified symplectic structure
4 Hodge Diamonds for CY 3-folds The Hodge diamond of a Calabi-Yau Threefold really only depends on H 1 (X, T X ) = H 2,1 (X) parametrizing deformations of the complex structure H 1 (X, Ω 1 X ) = H1,1 (X) parametrizing deformations of the complexified symplectic structure
5 Distribution of Calabi-Yau Threefolds Plotted vertically is h 1,1 + h 2,1 Plotted horizontally is the Euler characteristic, χ(x) = 2(h 1,1 h 2,1 ).
6 The A-Model and the B-Model From physics: a Calabi-Yau variety with a complexified Kähler class is supposed to give an N = 2 superconformal field theory. Given a N = 2 superconformal field theory, Witten proposed two topologically twisted field theories, the A-model and the B-model. These give rise to topological quantum field theories which are functors from the bordism category to a category of boundary conditions by the Calabi Yau.
7 The A-Model and the B-Model For the A-model this category of boundary conditions is the Fukaya category of X. Objects are Langragian submanifolds and morphisms, are roughly, given by Floer cohomology complexes. This only depends on the symplectic structure of X. For the B-model this category of boundary conditions is the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on X. Objects are complexes of coherent sheaves on X, morphisms are maps between complexes localized along maps which are isomorphisms on cohomology.
8 Homological Mirror Symmetry Conjecture[Kontsevitch] For any Calabi-Yau manifold X, there exists a mirror X and equivalences of categories: Fuk(X) Fuk( X) D b (coh X) D b (coh X)
9 Gauged LG-models Homological Mirror Symmetry can be extended beyond the world of Calabi-Yau manifolds if we allow our mirrors to be more exotic theories. Definition A Landau-Ginzburg model, (X, f ) is a Kähler manifold, X, together with a holomorphic function, w : X A 1.
10 A-model for an LG-model For a Landau-Ginzburg model w : X A 1. with Morse singularities we can associate the Fukaya-Seidel category. Fix a smooth fiber of w and an ordering on the singular fibers. Objects are Lagrangrian thimbles. Let A i and A j be thimbles which degenerate to the i th and j th fiber respectively. Morphisms from A i to A j are given roughly by Floer cohomology if i j and are 0 otherwise.
11 B-model for an LG-model Coherent sheaves on an LG-model, (X, w) are called factorizations. Definition A factorization of an LG-model, (X, w), consists of a pair of coherent sheaves, E 1 and E 0, and a pair of O X -module homomorphisms, φ 1 E : E 0 E 1 φ 0 E : E 1 E 0 such that the compositions, φ 0 E φ 1 E : E 0 E 0 and φ 1 E φ 0 E : E 1 E 1, are isomorphic to multiplication by w.
12 Homological Mirror Symmetry and LG-models Conjecture[Generalized Homological Mirror Symmetry] For any Landau-Ginzburg-model (X, w) there exists a mirror (X, w) and equivalences of categories: Fuk(X, w) Fuk (X, w) D b (coh(x, w)) D b (coh (X, w))
13 Semi-orthogonal decompositions Definition A semi-orthogonal decomposition of a triangulated category, T, is a sequence of full triangulated subcategories, A 1,..., A m, in T such that A i A j for i < j and, for every object T T, there exists a diagram: 0 T m 1 T 2 T 1 T A m A 2 A 1 where all triangles are distinguished and A k A k. We denote a semi-orthogonal decomposition by A 1,..., A m.
14 Homological Mirror Symmetry and Birational Geometry (an example) The mirror to P 2 is the LG model (A 2, x + y + 1 xy ). There are 3-singular fibers, each is an ordinary double point, and each gives a unique Lefschetz thimble up to isotopy. There is a semi-orthogonal decomposition Fuk(A 2, x + y + 1 xy ) = E 1, E 2, E 3, where each of the E i is equivalent to the simplest possible derived category, the category of graded vector spaces.
15 Homological Mirror Symmetry and Birational Geometry (an example) The mirror to Bl p P 2 is the LG model (A 2, x + y + xy + 1 xy ). There are 4-singular fibers, each is an ordinary double point, and each gives a unique Lefschetz thimble up to isotopy. There is a semi-orthogonal decomposition Fuk(A 2, x + y + 1 xy ) = E 1, E 2, E 3, E 4, where each of the E i is equivalent to the simplest possible derived category, the category of graded vector spaces.
16 Mirror to Bl p P 2 > > 2 > 3 3 O T(-1) O(1) O Ei
17 Homological Mirror Symmetry and Birational Geometry (an example) Homological Mirror Symmetry was proven by Auroux, Katzarkov, and Orlov in this case. It predicts D b (coh P 2 ) = Fuk(A 2, x + y + 1 xy ) = E 1, E 2, E 3, where each of the E i is equivalent to to the category of graded vector spaces. This is a theorem of Beilinson.
18 Homological Mirror Symmetry and Birational Geometry (an example) On the other hand, D b (coh Bl p P 2 ) = D b (coh P 2 ), E 4 = E 1, E 2, E 3, E 4 = Fuk(A 2, x + y + 1 x + 1 xy ), where each of the E i is equivalent to the category of graded vector spaces. Blowing-down a point corresponds to deforming the Kähler form on Bl p P 2 or in the mirror it corresponds to deforming x + y + xy + 1 xy to x + y + 1 xy. In the mirror LG-model this corresponds to deforming the complex structure by changing the potential so that it has an additional singular fiber.
19 Blow-up - Blow-down y v P 2 Bl p (P 2 ) x, u Conclusion: Deforming the Kähler form on the B-side yields semi-orthogonal decompositions!
20 Background on GIT Given an action of G on X, one naturally wishes to form a nice quotient of X of G. Mumford shows us the non-canonical way. One chooses a G-equivariant line bundle and Mumford defines X ss (L) := {x X f H 0 (X, L n ) G, f (x) 0, and X f affine} X us (L) := X \ X ss (L). X ss (L) is the semi-stable locus and X us (L) is the unstable locus.
21 The GIT quotient Classically, the GIT quotient of X by G is the image of X ss (L) under the rational map X Proj n 0 Γ(X, L n ) G. However, for us, the GIT quotient is the global quotient stack, [X ss (L)/G]. The classical GIT quotient is its coarse moduli space. We will let X /L denote the GIT quotient as a stack.
22 VGIT and Birational Geometry Theorem (Hu, Keel) Let X Y be a birational morphism between smooth projective varieties over C. There exists a smooth variety Z with a C -action, and an ample line bundle L with two linearizations L 1 and L 2 such that Z / L1 C = X and Z / L2 C = Y
23 Reminder on VGIT By definition, GIT quotients depend on the choice of an ample G-equivariant line bundle. The parameter space for such quotients is then naturally the space of all G-equivariant ample line bundles, Pic G (X) R. The unstable locus, X χ, is the complement of the semistable locus in X. Let X be proper or affine. There exists a fan in Pic G (X) R with support the set of G-equivariant line bundles with X ss. For each L Pic G (X) R, we have a cone These are the cones of the fan. C L = {L Pic G (X) R : X L X L }.
24 Blow-up - Blow-down We can realize Bl p (P 2 ) as a GIT quotient of A 4 by the subgroup G 2 m = {(r, r 1 s, r, s) : r, s G m } G 4 m. Write k[x, y, u, v] for the ring of regular functions on A 4. There are no nontrivial line bundles on A 4. G-equivariant structures on the trivial bundle amount to characters of G 2 m so our GIT fan lives in a real plane.
25 Blow-up - Blow-down The GIT fan for this quotient is y v P 2 Bl p (P 2 ) x, u
26 Wandering around on the Kähler moduli space: the A-side Mirror symmetry predicts that the Kähler moduli space is exchanged with the moduli space of complex structures of the mirror. The GIT fan can be viewed as a piece of the Kähler moduli space, or equivalently, a piece of the complex moduli space in the mirror. Hence, loops in this moduli space do not affect the A-model of the mirror. Instead, they give symplectic automorphisms of the mirror. This piece of the complex moduli space of the mirror has nontrivial fundamental group after the discriminant locus of a type of universal hyperplane section is removed. Diemer, Katzarkov, and Kerr have shown that, mirror to our picture, variation of GIT for toric varieties provides symplectomorphisms and relations given by the combinatorial data. For example, they recover the lantern relation, the star relation, and Matsumota s relations from the mapping class group of a Riemann surface.
27 Setup The maximal cones in the GIT fan are called chambers. The codimension 1 cones are called walls. Let us say that X and Y are neighbors, if the lie in adjacent chambers separated by a wall. Work of Kirwan, Ness, Hesselink, and Kempf, tells us that the change in unstable locus between two neighbors is determined by a stratification given by a finite number of one parameter subgroups λ 1,..., λ p of G. For each λ i let µ i be the difference of the weights of the determinants of the conormal bundles to the corresponding piece of stratification on X and Y.
28 More Setup For each one parameter subgroup λ : C G one can look at the fixed locus S 0 λ. There is a residual group action of C(λ)/λ the centralizer of λ modulo λ on S 0 λ. The restriction of our G-equivariant line bundle on X induces a C(λ)/λ-equivariant line bundle on S 0 λ. So we get a new GIT quotient of Sλ 0 by C(λ)/λ, call it Z! (actually, as before it s a stack)
29 Main theorem Theorem (Ballard-F-Katzarkov, Halpern-Leinster) Let X and Y be neighbors. If µ i > 0 for all 1 i p, then there exists a left-admissible fully-faithful functor, Φ : D b (coh X) D b (coh Y). If p = 1, then there also exists fully-faithful functors, Υ j : D b (coh Z) D b (coh X), and a semi-orthogonal decomposition, D b (coh X) = Υ d Db (coh Z),..., Υ µ d 1 Db (coh Z), Φ d D b (coh Y).
30 Main theorem Theorem (Ballard-F-Katzarkov, Halpern-Leinster) If µ i = 0 for all 1 i p, then there exist an equivalence, Φ : D b (coh X) D b (coh Y).
31 Main theorem Theorem (Ballard-F-Katzarkov, Halpern-Leinster) If µ < 0 for all 1 i p, then there exists a left-admissible fully-faithful functor, Ψ : D b (coh Y) D b (coh X) If p = 1, then there also exists fully-faithful functors, Υ + j : D b (coh Z) D b (coh Y), and a semi-orthogonal decomposition, D b (coh Y) = Υ + d Db (coh Z),..., Υ + µ d+1 Db (coh Z), Ψ d D b (coh X).
32 LG-models too! The same theorem holds for LG-models (in fact we prove this in the generality of gauged LG-models, meaning factorizations which are equivariant with respect to the action of a group G.
33 Applications Very pleasant inductive structure for the derived categories of projective toric DM stacks (recovers Kawamata) Similar inductive structure for derived categories of moduli of stable pointed rational curves (recovers Manin-Smirnov) and decompositions of rational Chow motives. Full generalization of the σ-model/landau-ginzburg correspondence (recovers Orlov in commutative case). New derived equivalences for birational varieties (recovers Herbst-Walcher, Kawamata, Van den Bergh, Orlov). New relationships between Chow Groups/ Griffiths groups of smooth varieties. Provides a framework for the mirror to symplectic automorphisms. Provides an explanation of Homological Mirror Symmetry for Toric Varieties.
34 That s All Folks The End.
