We study the equivariant Kuznetsov component $\mathrm{Ku}_G(X)$ of a general cubic fourfold $X$ with a symplectic involution. We show that $\mathrm{Ku}_G(X)$ is equivalent to the derived category $D^b(S)$ of a $K3$ surface $S$, where $S$ is…
We describe an Azumaya algebra on the resolution of singularities of the double cover of a plane ramified along a nodal sextic associated to a non generic cubic fourfold containing a plane. We show that the derived category of such a…
In this paper, we study relations between automorphism groups of cubic fourfolds and Kuznetsov components. Firstly, we characterize automorphism groups of cubic fourfolds as subgroups of autoequivalence groups of Kuznetsov components using…
We study equivariant birationality from the perspective of derived categories. We produce examples of nonlinearizable but stably linearizable actions of finite groups on smooth cubic fourfolds.
We determine the group of all Fourier-Mukai type autoequivalences of Kuznetsov components of smooth complex cubic threefolds, and provide yet another proof for the Fourier-Mukai version of categorical Torelli theorem for smooth complex…
Let $X \subset \P^5_{\C}$ be a smooth cubic fourfold.The Kuznetsov component $\sA_X$ is contained in the derived category $D^b(X)$ and the transcendental motive $t(X)$ is contained in the category of Chow motives $\sM_{rat}(\C))$. If $X$…
Cubic fourfolds behave in many ways like K3 surfaces. Certain cubics - conjecturally, the ones that are rational - have specific K3s associated to them geometrically. Hassett has studied cubics with K3s associated to them at the level of…
The Kuznetsov component of the derived category of a cubic fourfold is a `non-commutative K3 surface'. Its symmetric square is hence a `non-commutative hyperkaehler fourfold'. We prove that this category is equivalent to the derived…
Let $Y$ be a cubic threefold with a non-Eckardt type involution $\tau$. Our first main result is that the $\tau$-equivariant category of the Kuznetsov component $\mathcal{K}u_{\mathbb{Z}_2}(Y)$ determines the isomorphism class of $Y$ for…
Smooth cubic fourfolds are linked to K3 surfaces via their Hodge structures, due to work of Hassett, and via Kuznetsov's K3 category A. The relation between these two viewpoints has recently been elucidated by Addington and Thomas. In this…
We prove that the Chow motives of two smooth cubic fourfolds whose Kuznetsov components are Fourier-Mukai derived-equivalent are isomorphic as Frobenius algebra objects. As a corollary, we obtain that there exists a Galois-equivariant…
Kuznetsov showed that for a flat quadric fibration $\mathcal{Q}$ over a smooth base $S$, $\mathrm{D}^b(\mathcal{Q})$ admits a semiorthogonal decomposition where one of the components is the derived category of the sheaf of even parts of a…
We isolate a class of smooth rational cubic fourfolds X containing a plane whose associated quadric surface bundle does not have a rational section. This is equivalent to the nontriviality of the Brauer class of the even Clifford algebra…
Given a variety $Y$ with a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition of its derived category, we consider a degree $n$ cyclic cover $X \to Y$ ramified over a divisor $Z \subset Y$. We construct semiorthogonal decompositions of $\mathrm{D^b}(X)$…
We study ACM bundles on cubic fourfolds containing a plane exploiting the geometry of the associated quadric fibration and Kuznetsov's treatment of their bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves. More precisely, we recover the K3…
We give a proof of Kontsevich's formality theorem for a general manifold using Fedosov resolutions of algebras of polydifferential operators and polyvector fields. The main advantage of our construction of the formality quasi-isomorphism is…
We prove a general criterion which guarantees that an admissible subcategory $\mathcal{K}$ of the derived category of an abelian category is equivalent to the bounded derived category of the heart of a bounded t-structure. As a consequence,…
For a smooth cubic fourfold Y, we study the moduli space M of semistable objects of Mukai vector $2\lambda_1+2\lambda_2$ in the Kuznetsov component of Y. We show that with a certain choice of stability conditions, M admits a symplectic…
Let $X\subset \P^5$ be a smooth cubic fourfold. A well known conjecture asserts that $X$ is rational if and only if there an Hodge theoretically associated K3 surface $S$. The surface $S$ can be associated to $X$ in two other different…
We generalize the classical semiregularity theorem of Buchweitz and Flenner to the setting of noncommutative algebraic geometry, with group actions. This applies in particular to twisted derived categories, in which case it answers a…
