P=W Phenomena

In this paper, we describe recent work towards the mirror P=W conjecture, which relates the weight filtration on a cohomology of a log Calabi--Yau manifold to the perverse Leray filtration on the cohomology of the homological mirror dual log Calabi--Yau manifold, taken with respect to the affinization map. This conjecture extends the classical relationship between Hodge numbers of mirror dual compact Calabi--Yau manifolds, incorporating tools and ideas which appear in the fascinating and groundbreaking works of de Cataldo, Hausel, and Migliorini, and de Cataldo and Migliorini. We give a broad overview of the motivation for this conjecture, recent results towards it, and describe how this result might arise from the SYZ formulation of mirror symmetry. This interpretation of the mirror P=W conjecture provides a possible bridge between the mirror P=W conjecture and the well-known P=W conjecture in nonabelian Hodge theory.

Toric Landau-Ginzburg models

This is a review of the theory of toric Landau-Ginzburg models - the effective approach to mirror symmetry for Fano varieties. We mainly focus on the cases of dimensions 2 and 3, as well as on the case of complete intersections in weighted projective spaces and Grassmannians. Conjectures that relate invariants of Fano varieties and their Landau--Ginzburg models, such as Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev conjectures, are also studied.

Projecting Fanos in the mirror

In the paper "Birational geometry via moduli spaces" by I. Cheltsov, L. Katzarkov, and V. Przyjalkowski a new structure connecting toric degenerations of smooth Fano threefolds by projections was introduced; using Mirror Symmetry these connections were transferred to the side of Landau--Ginzburg models. In the paper mentioned above a nice way to connect of Picard rank one Fano threefolds was found. We apply this approach to all smooth Fano threefolds, connecting their degenerations by toric basic links. In particular, we find a lot of Gorenstein toric degenerations of smooth Fano threefolds we need. We implement mutations in the picture as well. It turns out that appropriate chosen toric degenerations of the Fanos are given by toric basic links from a few roots. We interpret the relations we found in terms of Mirror Symmetry.

Which quartic double solids are rational?

We study the rationality problem for nodal quartic double solids. In particular, we prove that nodal quartic double solids with at most six singular points are irrational, and nodal quartic double solids with at least eleven singular points are rational.

Nef partitions for codimension 2 weighted complete intersections

We prove that a smooth well formed Fano weighted complete intersection of codimension 2 has a nef partition. We discuss applications of this fact to Mirror Symmetry. In particular we list all nef partitions for smooth well formed Fano weighted complete intersections of dimensions 4 and 5 and present weak Landau--Ginzburg models for them.

Landau-Ginzburg Hodge numbers for mirrors of del Pezzo surfaces

We consider the conjectures from the paper by Katzarkov, Kontsevich, and Pantev about Landau-Ginzburg Hodge numbers associated to tamely compactifiable Landau-Ginzburg models. We test these conjectures in case of dimension two, verifying some and giving a counterexample to the other.

Laurent phenomenon for Landau-Ginzburg models of complete intersections in Grassmannians of planes

In a spirit of Givental's constructions Batyrev, Ciocan-Fontanine, Kim, and van Straten suggested Landau--Ginzburg models for smooth Fano complete intersections in Grassmannians and partial flag varieties as certain complete intersections in complex tori equipped with special functions called superpotentials. We provide a particular algorithm for constructing birational isomorphisms of these models for complete intersections in Grassmannians of planes with complex tori. In this case the superpotentials are given by Laurent polynomials. We study Givental's integrals for Landau--Ginzburg models suggested by Batyrev, Ciocan-Fontanine, Kim, and van Straten and show that they are periods for pencils of fibers of maps provided by Laurent polynomials we obtain. The algorithm we provide after minor modifications can be applied in a more general context.

Burkhardt quartic, Barth sextic, and the icosahedron

We study two rational Fano threefolds with an action of the icosahedral group $\mathfrak{A}_5$. The first one is the famous Burkhardt quartic threefold, and the second one is the double cover of the projective space branched in the Barth sextic surface. We prove that both of them are $\mathfrak{A}_5$-Fano varieties that are $\mathfrak{A}_5$-birationally superrigid. This gives two new embeddings of the group $\mathfrak{A}_5$ into the space Cremona group.

On Hodge numbers of complete intersections and Landau--Ginzburg models

We prove that the Hodge number $h^{1,N-1}(X)$ of an $N$-dimensional ($N\geqslant 3$) Fano complete intersection $X$ is less by one then the number of irreducible components of the central fiber of (any) Calabi--Yau compactification of Givental's Landau--Ginzburg model for $X$.

Calabi-Yau compactifications of toric Landau-Ginzburg models for smooth Fano threefolds

We prove that smooth Fano threefolds have toric Landau--Ginzburg models. More precise, we prove that their Landau--Ginzburg models, presented as Laurent polynomials, admit compactifications to families of K3 surfaces, and we describe their fibers over infinity. We also give an explicit construction of Landau--Ginzburg models for del Pezzo surfaces and any divisors on them.

Double quadrics with large automorphism groups

We classify three-dimensional nodal Fano varieties that are double covers of smooth quadrics branched over intersections with quartics acted on by finite simple non-abelian groups, and study their rationality.

Laurent phenomenon for Landau-Ginzburg models of complete intersections in Grassmannians

In 1997 Batyrev, Ciocan-Fontanine, Kim, and van Straten suggested a construction of Landau--Ginzburg models for Fano complete intersections in Grassmannians similar to Givental's construction for complete intersections in smooth toric varieties. We show that for a Fano complete intersection in Grassmannians the result of the above construction is birational to a complex torus. In other words, the complete intersections under consideration have very weak Landau--Ginzburg models.

Landau-Ginzburg models -- old and new

In the last three years a new concept -- the concept of wall crossing has emerged. The current situation with wall crossing phenomena, after papers of Seiberg-Witten, Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke, Vafa-Cecoti and seminal works by Donaldson-Thomas, Joyce-Song, Maulik-Nekrasov-Okounkov-Pandharipande, Douglas, Bridgeland, and Kontsevich-Soibelman, is very similar to the situation with Higgs Bundles after the works of Higgs and Hitchin -- it is clear that a general "Hodge type" of theory exists and needs to be developed. Nonabelian Hodge theory did lead to strong mathematical applications -- uniformization, Langlands program to mention a few. In the wall crossing is is also clear that some "Hodge type" of theory exists -- Stability Hodge Structure (SHS). This theory needs to be developed in order to reap some mathematical benefits --- solve long standing problems in algebraic geometry. In this paper we look at SHS from the perspective of Landau--Ginzburg models and we look at some applications. We consider simple examples and explain some conjectures these examples suggest.

Double solids, categories and non-rationality

This paper suggests a new approach to questions of rationality of threefolds based on category theory. Following M. Ballard, D. Favero, L. Katzarkov (ArXiv:1012.0864) and D. Favero, L. Katzarkov (Noether--Lefschetz Spectra and Algebraic cycles, in preparation) we enhance constructions from A. Kuznetsov (arXiv:0904.4330) by introducing Noether--Lefschetz spectra --- an interplay between Orlov spectra (C. Oliva, Algebraic cycles and Hodge theory on generalized Reye congruences, Compos. Math. 92, No. 1 (1994) 1--22) and Hochschild homology. The main goal of this paper is to suggest a series of interesting examples where above techniques might apply. We start by constructing a sextic double solid $X$ with 35 nodes and torsion in $H^3(X,\mathbb Z)$. This is a novelty --- after the classical example of Artin and Mumford (1972), this is the second example of a Fano threefold with a torsion in the 3-rd integer homology group. In particular $X$ is non-rational. We consider other examples as well --- $V_{10}$ with 10 singular points and double covering of quadric ramified in octic with 20 nodal singular points. After analyzing the geometry of their Landau--Ginzburg models we suggest a general non-rationality picture based on Homological Mirror Symmetry and category theory.
