We describe a maximal exceptional collection on the Cayley plane, the minimal homogeneous projective variety of $E_6$. This collection consists in a sequence of 27 irreducible homogeneous bundles.
We prove that the only rational homogeneous varieties with Picard number 1 of the exceptional algebraic groups admitting irreducible equivariant Ulrich vector bundles are the Cayley plane $E_6/P_1$ and the $E_7$-adjoint variety $E_7/P_1$.…
We construct a Lefschetz exceptional collection of vector bundles in the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves of the adjoint/coadjoint Grassmannian of type $E_6$ of dimension $21$.
We show that there exist exceptional collections of length 3 consisting of line bundles on the three fake projective planes that have a 2-adic uniformisation with torsion free covering group. We also compute the Hochschild cohomology of the…
Ramond has observed that the massless multiplet of eleven-dimensional supergravity can be generated from the decomposition of certain representation of the exceptional Lie group F4 into those of its maximal compact subgroup Spin(9). The…
We construct new examples of exceptional collections of line bundles on the variety of Borel subgroups of a split semisimple linear algebraic group G of rank 2 over a field. We exhibit exceptional collections of the expected length for…
Given a del Pezzo surface of degree d between 1 and 6, possibly with rational double points, we construct a "tautological" holomorphic G-bundle over X, where G is a reductive group which is an appropriate conformal form of the simply…
We prove that the Kuznetsov--Polishchuk exceptional collections on rational homogeneous spaces of the symplectic groups $\mathrm{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$ are full and consist of vector bundles. To achieve this, we construct several classes of…
For the derived category of the Cayley plane, which is the cominuscule Grassmannian of Dynkin type $\mathrm{E}_6$, a full Lefschetz exceptional collection was constructed by Faenzi and Manivel. A general hyperplane section of the Cayley…
We construct a full exceptional collection of vector bundles in the derived category of coherent sheaves on the Grassmannian of isotropic two-dimensional subspaces in a symplectic vector space of dimension $2n$ and in the derived category…
This paper defines a new genus, the Cayley plane genus. By definition it is the universal multiplicative genus for oriented Cayley plane bundles. The main result (Theorem 2) is that it factors (tensor Q) through the product of the Ochanine…
Let W be the germ of a smooth complex surface around an exceptional curve and let E be a rank 2 vector bundle on W. We study the cohomological properties of a finite sequence $E_i, 1 \leq i \leq t$ of rank 2 vector bundles canonically…
Quaternionic projective plane $\mathbb{H} P^2$ is the next simplest conjugacy class of the symplectic group $SP(6)$ with pseudo-Levi stabilizer subgroup after the sphere $\mathbb{S}^4\simeq \mathbb{H} P^1$. Its quantization gives rise to a…
We consider the bounded derived category of $S_k$-equivariant coherent sheaves on $(\mathbb{P}^n)^k$. The goal of this paper is to construct in this category a rectangular Lefschetz exceptional collection when this is possible, or a minimal…
In this paper we present a construction for the compact form of the exceptional Lie group E6 by exponentiating the corresponding Lie algebra e6, which we realize as the the sum of f4, the derivations of the exceptional Jordan algebra J3 of…
We construct quasi-phantom admissible subcategories in the derived category of coherent sheaves on the Beauville surface $S$. These quasi-phantoms subcategories appear as right orthogonals to subcategories generated by exceptional…
Consider a Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(2, V)$ for an even-dimensional vector space $V$. Its derived category of coherent sheaves has a Lefschetz exceptional collection with respect to the Pl\"ucker embedding. We consider a variety $X_1$ of…
We propose a three-step program for the classification of stable rank 2 bundles on the projective space $\mathbb{P}^3$ inspired by an article by Hartshorne and Rao. While this classification program has been successfully completed for…
We construct a full exceptional collection consisting of vector bundles in the derived category of coherent sheaves on the so-called Cayley Grassmannian, the subvariety of the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(3, 7)$ parameterizing 3-subspaces that…
We study the homogeneous spaces of a simply connected, compact, simple Lie group $G$ through the lens of K-theory. Our methods apply equally well to the case where $G$ is in one of the four infinite families of classical groups, or one of…
