Fano 4-fold quiver moduli from subspace quivers

Abstract

We classify the moduli spaces of representations of subspace quivers which are Fano fourfolds, under a natural assumption on the dimension vector. These moduli spaces can also be described as GIT quotients of products of Grassmannians by the diagonal action of a projective linear group, and there are exactly four of them. They are rational, of pure Hodge-Tate type, infinitesimally rigid, and have finite automorphism groups, with Picard ranks 5, 6, 6 and 7, making them interesting examples in the classification of Fano fourfolds of large Picard rank, as they are not toric or products. Two are known varieties: Manivel's Segre cousin of the Segre cubic 3-fold, and the Fano model of the blowup of P4\mathbb{P}^4 in six points. The other two appear to be new: one is an involution surface bundle over P2\mathbb{P}^2, and the other is a "Segre cousin once-removed", whose geometry closely parallels that of the Segre cousin. Using techniques from quiver moduli, which we survey, we describe the geometry of all four fourfolds in detail.
