Derived categories of threefolds near the Noether line

Abstract

We show that derived categories of canonical stacks associated to general threefolds in the principal component of the moduli space of canonical threefolds on the refined Noether line are semiorthogonally indecomposable. First we generalize a criterion of Kawatani-Okawa for the indecomposability of derived categories of surfaces of general type to higher-dimensional varieties and stacks. And then we generalize a construction of Kobayashi and Hu-Zhang and a classification result of Coughlan-Pignatelli to the second and third Noether lines to show that our criterion applies to these canonical stacks.

Automorphisms of Plane Curves defined from Chebychev polynomials

For any $d\geq 4$ we determine the automorphism groups of the algebraic curves \[ \mathcal{C}_d : y^d = φ_d(x), \] where $φ_d(x)$ denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of degree $d$, defined over a field $k$ with $p:=\operatorname{char}(k) \nmid 2d$. For $d>4$, it is $\mathbb{Z}/d\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$, except when $2d=p^r+1$ or $4d=p^r+1$ for some $r\geq 1$. In these cases it is, respectively, $(\mathbb{Z}/d\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/d\mathbb{Z})\rtimes S_3$ and $\mathbb{Z}/d\mathbb{Z}\times S_3$. Two ingredients used here are a description of all total inflection points on $\cC_d$, and knowledge of the group of fractional linear transformations that preserve the set of zeros of $φ_d$.

On the complement of nef divisors on projective manifolds

Let $X'$ be a complex projective manifold, $\dim X'>1$, $Z$ a connected analytic subset of codimension one which is the support of a nef effective Cartier divisor $D$ on $X'$, $X:=X'\setminus Z$. Let $κ(D)$ be the Iitaka dimension of $D$. We prove that $X$ is not Hartogs if and only if $D$ is abundant and $κ(D)=1$. In particular, $X$ is not Hartogs if and only if $X$ is a proper fibration over an affine curve.

Tiny and Unique: The Lubin-Tate Action at Height $p-1$ from the Minimal Curve with Its Symmetries

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.
