Bott vanishing using GIT and quantization

Algebraic Geometry 2023-07-10 v3

Abstract

A smooth projective variety YY is said to satisfy Bott vanishing if ΩYjL\Omega_Y^j\otimes L has no higher cohomology for every jj and every ample line bundle LL. Few examples are known to satisfy this property. Among them are toric varieties, as well as the quintic del Pezzo surface, recently shown by Totaro. Here we present a new class of varieties satisfying Bott vanishing, namely stable GIT quotients of (P1)n(\mathbb{P}^1)^n by the action of PGL2PGL_2, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. For this, we use the work done by Halpern-Leistner on the derived category of a GIT quotient, and his version of the quantization theorem. We also see that, using similar techniques, we can recover Bott vanishing for the toric case.
