We prove gap theorems for entropy norms on automorphism groups of K3 surfaces, Enriques surfaces, and irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds. We also study the achirality of automorphisms of K3 surfaces and Enriques surfaces in terms of genus-one fibrations.
We prove that a stability condition on a K3 surface is determined by the masses of spherical objects up to a natural $\mathbb{C}$-action. This is motivated by the result of Huybrechts and the recent proposal of Bapat-Deopurkar-Licata on the construction of a compactification of a stability manifold. We also construct lax stability conditions in the sense of Broomhead-Pauksztello-Ploog-Woolf associated to spherical bundles.
This paper aims to establish the geometrical finiteness for the natural isometric actions of (birational) automorphism groups on the hyperbolic spaces for K3 surfaces, Enriques surfaces, Coble surfaces, and irreducible symplectic varieties. As an application, it follows that such groups are non-positively curved: relatively hyperbolic and ${\rm CAT(0)}$. In the case of K3 surfaces, we clarify the relationship between Kleinian lattices and $(-2)$-curves, and between convex-cocompact Kleinian groups and genus-one fibrations.
In this paper, we construct a compactification of the space of Bridgeland stability conditions on a smooth projective curve, as an analogue of Thurston compactifications in Teichmüller theory. In the case of elliptic curves, we compare our results with the classical one of the torus via homological mirror symmetry and give the Nielsen-Thurston classification of autoequivalences using the compactification. Furthermore, we observe an interesting phenomenon in the case of the projective line.
Homological mirror symmetry predicts that there is a relation between autoequivalence groups of derived categories of coherent sheaves on Calabi-Yau varieties, and the symplectic mapping class groups of symplectic manifolds. In this paper, as an analogue of Dehn twists for mapping class groups of closed oriented real surfaces, we study spherical twists for derived categories of algebraic varieties. We introduce the intersection number and relate it to group-theoretic properties of spherical twists. As an application, we compute the center of autoequivalence groups of derived categories of K3 surfaces.
Homological mirror symmetry predicts that there is a relation between autoequivalence groups of derived categories of coherent sheaves on Calabi-Yau varieties, and the symplectic mapping class groups of symplectic manifolds. In this paper, as an analogue of Dehn twists for closed oriented real surfaces, we study spherical twists for dg-enhanced triangulated categories. We introduce the intersection number and relate it to group-theoretic properties of spherical twists. We show an inequality analogous to a fundamental inequality in the theory of mapping class groups about the behavior of the intersection number via iterations of Dehn twists. We also classify the subgroups generated by two spherical twists using the intersection number. In passing, we prove a structure theorem for finite dimensional dg-modules over the graded dual numbers and use this to describe the autoequivalence group. As an application, we compute the center of autoequivalence groups of derived categories of K3 surfaces.
We study the categorical entropy and counterexamples to Gromov-Yomdin type conjecture via homological mirror symmetry of K3 surfaces established by Sheridan-Smith. We introduce asymptotic invariants of quasi-endofunctors of dg categories, called the Hochschild entropy. It is proved that the categorical entropy is lower bounded by the Hochschild entropy. Furthermore, motivated by Thurston's classical result, we prove the existence of a symplectic Torelli mapping class of positive categorical entropy. We also consider relations to the Floer-theoretic entropy.
Motivated by the study of the autoequivalence group of triangulated categories via isometric actions on metric spaces, we consider curvature properties (CAT(0), Gromov hyperbolic) of the space of Bridgeland stability conditions with the canonical metric defined by Bridgeland. We then prove that the metric is neither CAT(0) nor hyperbolic, and the quotient metric by the natural $\mathbb{C}$-action is not CAT(0) in case of the Kronecker quiver. Moreover, we also show the hyperbolicity of pseudo-Anosov functors defined by Dimitrov-Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich, which yields the lower-bound of entropy by the translation length. Finally, pseudo-Anosov functors in case of curves have been completely classified.
We study relations between the Serre dimension defined as the growth of entropy of the Serre functor and the global dimension of Bridgeland stability conditions due to Ikeda-Qiu. A fundamental inequality between the Serre dimension and the infimum of the global dimensions is proved. Moreover, we characterize Gepner type stability conditions on fractional Calabi-Yau categories via the Serre dimension, and classify triangulated categories of the Serre dimension lower than one with a Gepner type stability condition.
Entropy of categorical dynamics is defined by Dmitrov-Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich. Motivated by the fundamental theorem of the topological entropy due to Gromov-Yomdin, it is natural to ask an equality between the entropy and the spectral radius of induced morphisms on the numerical Grothendieck group. In this paper, we add two results on this equality: the lower bound in a general setting and the equality for orbifold projective lines.
To an exact endofunctor of a triangulated category with a split-generator, the notion of entropy is given by Dimitrov-Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich, which is a (possibly negative infinite) real-valued function of a real variable. In this paper, we propose a conjecture which naturally generalizes the theorem by Gromov-Yomdin, and show that the categorical entropy of a surjective endomorphism of a smooth projective variety is equal to its topological entropy. Moreover, we compute the entropy of autoequivalences of the derived category in the case of the ample canonical or anti-canonical sheaf.
To an exact endofunctor of a triangulated category with a split-generator, the notion of entropy is given by Dimitrov-Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich, which is a (possibly negative infinite) real-valued function of a real variable. It is important to evaluate the value of the entropy at zero in relation to the topological entropy. In this paper, we study the entropy at zero of an exact autoequivalence of the derived category of a complex smooth projective curve, and prove that it coincides with the natural logarithm of the spectral radius of the induced automorphism on its numerical Grothendieck group.
