Mirror symmetry and toric degenerations of partial flag manifolds
1998
In this paper we propose and discuss a mirror construction for complete intersections in partial flag manifolds $F(n_1, ..., n_l, n)$. This construction includes our previous mirror construction for complete intersection in Grassmannians and the mirror construction of Givental for complete flag manifolds. The key idea of our construction is a degeneration of $F(n_1, ..., n_l, n)$ to a certain Gorenstein toric Fano variety $P(n_1, ..., n_l, n)$ which has been investigated by Gonciulea and Lakshmibai. We describe a natural small crepant desingularization of $P(n_1, ..., n_l, n)$ and prove a generalized version of a conjecture of Gonciulea and Lakshmibai on the singular locus of $P(n_1, ..., n…
A closer look at mirrors and quotients of Calabi-Yau threefolds
2016
Let X be the toric variety (P1)4 associated with its four-dimensional polytope 1. Denote by X˜ the resolution of the singular Fano variety Xo associated with the dual polytope 1o. Generically, anticanonical sections Y of X and anticanonical sections Y˜ of X˜ are mirror partners in the sense of Batyrev. Our main result is the following: the Hodge-theoretic mirror of the quotient Z associated to a maximal admissible pair (Y, G) in X is not a quotient Z˜ associated to an admissible pair in X˜ . Nevertheless, it is possible to construct a mirror orbifold for Z by means of a quotient of a suitable Y˜. Its crepant resolution is a Calabi-Yau threefold with Hodge numbers (8, 4). Instead, if we star…
Homological Projective Duality for Determinantal Varieties
2016
In this paper we prove Homological Projective Duality for crepant categorical resolutions of several classes of linear determinantal varieties. By this we mean varieties that are cut out by the minors of a given rank of a n x m matrix of linear forms on a given projective space. As applications, we obtain pairs of derived-equivalent Calabi-Yau manifolds, and address a question by A. Bondal asking whether the derived category of any smooth projective variety can be fully faithfully embedded in the derived category of a smooth Fano variety. Moreover we discuss the relation between rationality and categorical representability in codimension two for determinantal varieties.
