We show that a $\mathbb{P}$-object and simple configurations of $\mathbb{P}$-objects have a formal derived endomorphism algebra. Hence the triangulated category (classically) generated by such objects is independent of the ambient triangulated category. We also observe that the category generated by the structure sheaf of a smooth projective variety over the complex numbers only depends on its graded cohomology algebra.
We prove that, if $C$ is a smooth projective curve over the complex numbers, and $E$ is a stable vector bundle on $C$ whose slope does not lie in the interval $[-1,n-1]$, then the associated tautological bundle $E^{[n]}$ on the symmetric product $C^{(n)}$ is again stable. Also, if $E$ is semi-stable and its slope does not lie in the interval $(-1,n-1)$, then $E^{[n]}$ is semi-stable.
For a cyclic group $G$ acting on a smooth variety $X$ with only one character occurring in the $G$-equivariant decomposition of the normal bundle of the fixed point locus, we study the derived categories of the orbifold $[X/G]$ and the blow-up resolution $\widetilde Y \to X/G$. Some results generalise known facts about $X = A^n$ with diagonal $G$-action, while other results are new also in this basic case. In particular, if the codimension of the fixed point locus equals $|G|$, we study the induced tensor products under the equivalence $D^b(\widetilde Y) \cong D^b([X/G])$ and give a 'flop-flop=twist' type formula. We also introduce candidates for general constructions of categorical crepant resolutions inside the derived category of a given geometric resolution of singularities and test these candidates on cyclic quotient singularities.
End-to-end training of automated speech recognition (ASR) systems requires massive data and compute resources. We explore transfer learning based on model adaptation as an approach for training ASR models under constrained GPU memory, throughput and training data. We conduct several systematic experiments adapting a Wav2Letter convolutional neural network originally trained for English ASR to the German language. We show that this technique allows faster training on consumer-grade resources while requiring less training data in order to achieve the same accuracy, thereby lowering the cost of training ASR models in other languages. Model introspection revealed that small adaptations to the network's weights were sufficient for good performance, especially for inner layers.
We study the images of tautological bundles on Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces and their wedge powers under the derived McKay correspondence. The main observation of the paper is that using a derived equivalence differing slightly from the standard one considerably simplifies both the results and their proofs. As an application, we obtain shorter proofs for known results as well as new formulae for homological invariants of tautological sheaves. In particular, we compute the extension groups between wedge powers of tautological bundles associated to line bundles on the surface.
We study the class of compact Kähler manifolds with trivial canonical bundle and the property that the cohomology of the trivial line bundle is generated by one element. If the square of the generator is zero, we get the class of strict Calabi--Yau manifolds. If the generator is of degree 2, we get the class of compact hyperkähler manifolds. We provide some examples and structure results for the cases where the generator is of higher nilpotency index and degree. In particular, we show that varieties of this type are closely related to higher-dimensional Enriques varieties.
For every smooth projective variety, we construct an action of the Heisenberg algebra on the direct sum of the Grothendieck groups of all the symmetric quotient stacks which contains the Fock space as a subrepresentation. The action is induced by functors on the level of the derived categories which form a weak categorification of the action.
We investigate conditions for a Fourier-Mukai transform between derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth projective stacks endowed with actions by finite groups to lift to the associated equivariant derived categories. As an application we give a condition under which a global quotient stack cannot be derived equivalent to a variety. We also apply our techniques to generalised Kummer stacks and symmetric quotients.
We find two natural spherical functors associated to the Kummer surface and analyse how their induced twists fit with Bridgeland's conjecture on the derived autoequivalence group of a complex algebraic K3 surface.
We show that for every smooth projective surface X and every $n\ge 2$ the push-forward along the diagonal embedding gives a $P^{n-1}$-functor into the $S_n$-equivariant derived category of X^n. Using the Bridgeland--King--Reid--Haiman equivalence this yields a new autoequivalence of the derived category of the Hilbert scheme of n points on X. In the case that the canonical bundle of X is trivial and n=2 this autoequivalence coincides with the known EZ-spherical twist induced by the boundary of the Hilbert scheme. We also generalise the 16 spherical objects on the Kummer surface given by the exceptional curves to n^4 orthogonal $P^{n-1}$-Objects on the generalised Kummer variety.
For every smooth quasi-projective surface X we construct a series of P^{n-1}-functors H_{l,n}: D(X x X^[l]) --> D(X^[n+l]) between the derived categories of the Hilbert schemes of points for n>max{l,1} using the derived McKay correspondence. They can be considered as analogues of the Nakajima operators. The functors also restrict to P^{n-1}-functors on the generalised Kummer varieties. We also study the induced autoequivalences and obtain, for example, a universal braid relation in the groups of derived autoequivalences of Hilbert squares of K3 surfaces and Kummer fourfolds.
We use semi-orthogonal decompositions to construct autoequivalences of Hilbert schemes of points on Enriques surfaces and of Calabi-Yau varieties which cover them. While doing this, we show that the derived category of a surface whose irregularity and geometric genus vanish embeds into the derived category of its Hilbert scheme of points.
We give a description of the image of tensor products of tautological bundles on Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces under the Bridgeland-King-Reid-Haiman equivalence. Using this, some new formulas for cohomological invariants of these bundles are obtained. In particular, we give formulas for the Euler characteristic of arbitrary tensor products on the Hilbert scheme of two points and of triple tensor products in general.
We give formulas for the extension groups between tautological sheaves and more general between tautological objects twisted by a determinant line bundle on the Hilbert scheme of points on a smooth quasi-projective surface. We do this using L. Scala's results about the image of tautological sheaves under the Bridgeland-King-Reid equivalence. We also compute the Yoneda products in terms of these formulas.
We observe a universal ionization threshold for microwave driven one-electron Rydberg states of H, Li, Na, and Rb, in an {\em ab initio} numerical treatment without adjustable parameters. This sheds new light on old experimental data, and widens the scene for Anderson localization in light matter interaction.
We establish a close quantitative analogy between the excitation and ionization process of highly excited one electron Rydberg states under microwave driving and charge transport across disordered 1D lattices. Our results open a new arena for Anderson localization - a disorder induced effect - in a large class of perfectly deterministic, decaying atomic systems.
We provide the first statistical analysis of the decay rates of strongly driven 3D atomic Rydberg states. The distribution of the rates exhibits universal features due to Anderson localization, while universality of the time dependent decay requires particular initial conditions.
We identify a fundamental structure in the spectrum of microwave driven alkali Rydberg states, which highlights the remnants of the Coulomb symmetry in the presence of a non-hydrogenic core. Core-induced corrections with respect to the hydrogen spectrum can be accounted for by a perturbative approach.
