Abstract

Fano fourfolds and compact hyperkähler varieties are two important objects in the study of algebraic geometry. In this talk, we focus on a specific family of Fano fourfolds—cubic fourfolds. Then we investigate their connection with hyperkähler varieties from the perspectives of K3 categories, anti-symplectic involutions and one-obstructed Lagrangians. Besides, we discuss a specific example, the LLSvS eightfold, which serves as an object to illustrate the interplay between the three connections. Furthermore, we briefly recall the proof of Bottini’s work and discuss a possible way of finding atomic Lagrangians of the LLSvS eightfold. This work is still in progress.

      Algebraic Geometry Seminar | Fano fourfolds with large anticanonical base locus

      Fano fourfolds with large anticanonical base locusA famous theorem of Shokurov states that a general anticanonical divisor of a smooth Fano threefold is a smooth K3 surface. This is quite surprising since there are several examples where the base locus of the anticanonical system has codimension two. In this paper we show that for four-dimensional Fano manifolds the behaviour is completely oppo...

      Cubic threefolds with an involution and their intermediate Jacobians

      AbstractWe study the moduli space of cubic threefolds admitting an involution via the period map sending such a cubic threefold to the invariant/anti-invariant part of the intermediate Jacobian. Our main result is global Torelli holds for the period map. Key ingredients of the proof include a description of the invariant/anti-invariant part of the intermediate Jacobian as a Prym variety and a d...
