Topology of projective Tate-Shafarevich twists
Abstract
A Tate-Shafarevich twist of a fibration modifies it by a -cocycle of flows of vector fields relative to the base, locally in the analytic topology. Sacc\`a conjectured that the total spaces of two projective Lagrangian fibrations related by such a twist are deformation-equivalent. Assuming that the class of the twist is torsion (which is often equivalent to the twist being realizable in the \'etale topology), we show that there is an isomorphism of graded vector spaces that respects (1) the Hodge structures and (2) the Hodge-Riemann pairing. Consequently, the rational Beauville-Bogomolov-Fujiki lattices of these two spaces are Hodge-similar. Assuming further that is smooth, and both the original fibration and its twist admit -sections, we show Sacc\`a's conjecture using the theory of degenerate twistor deformations.
