Lines, Twisted Cubics on Cubic Fourfolds, and the Monodromy of the Voisin Map

For a general cubic fourfold $Y$ with associated Fano variety of lines $ F $, we show that the monodromy group of the finite degree 16 rational Voisin self-map $ψ\colon F \dashrightarrow F$ is maximal. To achieve this, we investigate the intriguing interplay between $ ψ$ and the fixed locus of the antisymplectic involution on the LLSvS variety $ Z $, examined via the degree 6 Voisin map $F \times F \dashrightarrow Z $.

New components of Hilbert schemes of points and 2-step ideals

This paper presents new examples of elementary and non-elementary irreducible components of the Hilbert scheme of points and its nested variants. The results are achieved via a careful analysis of the deformations of a class of finite colength ideals that are introduced in this paper and referred to as 2-step ideals. The most notable reducibility results pertain to the 4-nested Hilbert scheme of points on a smooth surface, the reducibility of $\text{Hilb}^{3,7}\mathbb{A}^4$, and a method to detect a large number of generically reduced elementary components. To demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, we provide an explicit description of 215 new generically reduced elementary components in dimensions 4, 5 and 6.

Non-existence of Enriques manifolds from OG10 type manifolds

We use the LLV algebra to describe the action of a finite order automorphism on the total cohomology of a manifold of OG10 type. As an application, we prove that no Enriques manifolds arise as étale quotients of hyper-Kähler manifolds of OG10 type. This answers a question raised by Pacienza and Sarti.

Invariant Stability Conditions on Certain Calabi-Yau Threefolds

We apply results on inducing stability conditions to local Calabi-Yau threefolds and obtain applications to Donaldson-Thomas (DT) theory. A basic example is the total space of the canonical bundle of $Z=\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$. We use a result of Dell to construct stability conditions on the derived category of $X$ for which all stable objects can be explicitly described. We relate them to stability conditions on the resolved conifold $Y=\mathscr{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(-1)^{\oplus 2}$ in two ways: geometrically via the McKay correspondence, and algebraically via a quotienting operation on quivers with potential. These stability conditions were first discussed in the physics literature by Closset and del Zotto, and were constructed mathematically by Xiong by a different method. We obtain a complete description of the corresponding DT invariants, from which we can conclude that they define analytic wall-crossing structures in the sense of Kontsevich and Soibelman. In the last section we discuss several other examples of a similar flavour.

Degenerations and Fibrations of K3 Surfaces: Lattice Polarisations and Mirror Symmetry

Tyurin degenerations of K3 surfaces are degenerations whose central fibre consists of a pair of rational surfaces glued along a smooth elliptic curve. We study the lattice theory of such Tyurin degenerations, establishing a notion of lattice polarisation that is compatible with existing definitions for the general fibre and the rational surfaces comprising the central fibre. We separately consider elliptically fibred K3 surfaces, where the base of the fibration admits a splitting into a pair of discs with specified monodromy around the boundary. In this setting we establish a notion of lattice polarisation for the induced elliptic fibrations over discs, which is compatible with the existing definition for K3 surfaces. Finally, we discuss the mirror symmetric correspondence between these two settings.

Unexpected but recurrent phenomena for Quot and Hilbert schemes of points

We investigate some aspects of the geometry of two classical generalisations of the Hilbert schemes of points. Precisely, we show that parity conjecture for $\text{Quot}_r^d\mathbb{A}^3$ already fails for $d=8$ and $r=2$ and that lots of the elementary components of the nested Hilbert schemes of points on smooth quasi-projective varieties of dimension at least 4 are generically non-reduced. We also deduce that nested Hilbert schemes of points on smooth surfaces have generically non-reduced components. Finally, we give an infinite family of elementary components of the classical Hilbert schemes of points.

Symplectic rigidity of O'Grady's tenfolds

We prove that any symplectic automorphism of finite order of an irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold of O'Grady's 10-dimensional deformation type is trivial.

A counterexample to the parity conjecture

Let $[Z]\in\text{Hilb}^d \mathbb A^3$ be a zero-dimensional subscheme of the affine three-dimensional complex space of length $d>0$. Okounkov and Pandharipande have conjectured that the dimension of the tangent space of $\text{Hilb}^d \mathbb A^3$ at $[Z]$ and $d$ have the same parity. The conjecture was proven by Maulik, Nekrasov, Okounkov and Pandharipande for points $[Z]$ defined by monomial ideals and very recently by Ramkumar and Sammartano for homogeneous ideals. In this paper we exhibit a family of zero-dimensional schemes in $\text{Hilb}^{12} \mathbb A^3$, which disproves the conjecture in the general non-homogeneous case.

On the period of Li, Pertusi and Zhao's symplectic variety

We extend classical results of Perego and Rapagnetta on moduli spaces of sheaves of type OG10 to moduli spaces of Bridgeland semistable objects on the Kuznetsov component of a cubic fourfold. In particular, we determine the period of this class of varieties and use it to understand when they become birational to moduli spaces of sheaves on a K3 surface.

The perfect cone compactification of quotients of type IV domains

The perfect cone compactification is a toroidal compactification which can be defined for locally symmetric varieties. Let $\overline{D_{L}/\widetilde{O}^{+}(L)}^{p}$ be the perfect cone compactification of the quotient of the type IV domain $D_{L}$ associated to an even lattice $L$. In our main theorem we show that the pair ${ (\overline{D_{L}/\widetilde{O}^{+}(L)}^{p}, Δ/2) }$ has klt singularities, where $Δ$ is the closure of the branch divisor of ${ D_{L}/\widetilde{O}^{+}(L) }$. In particular this applies to the perfect cone compactification of the moduli space of $2d$-polarised $K3$ surfaces with ADE singularities when $d$ is square-free.
