Categorical Torelli for Cyclic Covers
Hannah Dell (University of Bonn)
Abstract
Since any Fano variety can be recovered from its derived category up to isomorphism, we ask whether less information determines the variety - this is called a categorical Torelli question. In this talk, we consider an n-fold cover X → Y ramified in a divisor Z. The cyclic group of order n acts on X. We study how a certain subcategory of Db(X) (the Kuznetsov component) behaves under this group action. We combine this with techniques from topological K-theory and Hodge theory to prove that this subcategory determines X for two new classes of Fano threefolds which arise as double covers of (weighted) projective spaces. This is joint work with Augustinas Jacovskis and Franco Rota (arXiv:2310.13651).
