Abstract

We consider a certain pair of families of Picard rank 1 Calabi-Yau threefolds, that have appeared earlier in mathematical literature in unrelated contexts: the family $\mathcal{X}$ of degree 33 threefolds in $G(2,6)$ (constructed by Inoue-Ito-Miura) and the family $\mathcal{Y}$ of arithmetically Gorenstein degree 21 threefolds in $\mathbb{P}^8$ (constructed by Schenck-Stillman-Yuan). After establishing a natural geometric correspondence between their general members, we go on to show that any pair of corresponding threefolds in these families satisfy certain classical dualities. We moreover discover that their geometries may be related by a mathematical gauged linear sigma model, using which we prove that they are derived equivalent. This settles a conjecture of Miura, who predicted the existence of non-trivial Fourier-Mukai partners to members of $\mathcal{X}$, based on a study of its mirror moduli. This conjecture was also formulated later by Gerhardus-Jockers, in a physical context. In fact, starting from the other family $\mathcal{Y}$, we conjecturally arrive at the same mirror moduli. Thus, such a pair is a new, and quite possibly the last, addition to the small list of deformation families of non-birational, double-mirror Calabi-Yau threefolds having Picard rank 1.

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.

Moduli Stacks of $G$-Curves in Homotopy Theory at Height $p-1$

Let $p$ be odd and $G' = \mathbb{Z}/p \rtimes \mathbb{Z}/(p-1)^2$ the maximal finite subgroup of the Morava stabilizer group at height $p-1$. Inverse Galois theory produces from $G'$ alone a curve $X$, the unique curve of minimal genus with $\operatorname{Aut}(X) \simeq G'$; its ramification, its field of definition and its equation are consequences of the group, not choices. We prove a $G'$-equivariant equivalence between the deformations of $X$ and Lubin--Tate space, so that the Lubin--Tate action of $G'$ is the action of $\operatorname{Aut}(X)$ on deformations of the curve. The proof is a coordinate-free Kodaira--Spencer argument reducing to a single character count. The action becomes explicit: $G'$ acts through $\mathbb{F}_p \rtimes \mathbb{F}_p^\times$ shifting and scaling $p+1$ points on $\mathbb{P}^1$. From this we compute $H^*(G', π_* E_{p-1})$ and its Tate cohomology. One identity, $π^{p-1} = -p$, runs through every section.
