Abstract

Let XX be a smooth variety over a field of characteristic pp. It is a natural question whether the Frobenius pushforwards FeOXF_*^e\mathcal O_X of the structure sheaf are tilting bundles. We show if XX is a smooth del Pezzo surface of degree 3\leq 3 or a Fano threefold with vol(KX)<24\mathrm{vol}(K_X)<24 over a field of characteristic pp, then Exti(FeOX,FeOX)0\mathrm{Ext}^i(F_*^e\mathcal O_X,F^e_*\mathcal O_X)\neq 0 and thus FeOXF_*^e\mathcal O_X is not tilting.
