We prove that the tangent developables of the varieties appearing in the third row of the Tits-Freudenthal magic square admit categorical crepant resolutions of singularities.

We introduce the notion of categorical absorption of singularities: an operation that removes from the derived category of a singular variety a small admissible subcategory responsible for singularity and leaves a smooth and proper…

We prove an all genera version of the Crepant Resolution Conjecture of Ruan and Bryan-Graber for type A surface singularities. We are based on a method that explicitly computes Hurwitz-Hodge integrals described in an earlier paper and some…

We study the relation among the genus 0 Gromov-Witten theories of the three spaces $\mathcal{X}\leftarrow\mathcal{Z}\leftarrow Y$, where $\mathcal{X}=[\c^2/\z_3]$, $\mathcal{Z}$ is obtained by a weighted blowup at the stacky point of…

We study an example of a projective threefold with a non-isolated singularity and its derived category. The singular locus can be locally described as a line of surface nodes compounded with a threefold node at the origin. We construct a…

We discuss some "folklore" results on categorical crepant resolutions for varieties with quotient singularities.

Let G be a finite abelian subgroup of SL(n,C), and suppose there exists a toric crepant resolution phi: X -- > C^n/G. We prove that for each component E of the exceptional set of phi there exists an open subset U of X that contains E and is…

We study codimension two determinantal varieties with isolated singularities. These singularities admit a unique smoothing, thus we can define their Milnor number as the middle Betti number of their generic fiber. For surfaces in C^4, we…

Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional symplectic vector space over a field of characteristic 0, and let $G \subset Sp(V)$ be a finite subgroup. We prove that for any crepant resolution $X \to V/G$, the bounded derived category $D^b(Coh(X))$ of…

We give a new criterion for when a resolution of a surface of general type with canonical singularities has big cotangent bundle and a new lower bound for the values of $d$ for which there is a surface with big cotangent bundle that is…

We study resolutions of singularities of orbit closures in quiver representations. We consider certain resolutions of singularities which have already been constructed by Reineke, and we determine under which conditions they are crepant.…

Given a noncommutative partial resolution $A=\mathrm{End}_R(R\oplus M)$ of a Gorenstein singularity $R$, we show that the relative singularity category $\Delta_R(A)$ of Kalck-Yang is controlled by a certain connective dga…

An ordinary Gushel-Mukai variety with a single isolated node is the intersection of the Grassmannian $G(2,5)$ with a nodal quadric and a linear space. We consider such intersections in dimension three, four and five. We describe a flop…

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional $k$-vector space, where $k$ is an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero. Let $G \subseteq \mathrm{SL}(V)$ be a finite abelian group, and denote by $S$ the $G$-invariant subring of the polynomial ring…

For a smooth variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, to a differential 1-form $\alpha$ on the Frobenius twist $X^{(1)}$ one can associate an Azumaya algebra $\mathcal D_{X,\alpha}$, defined as a certain central…

The main problem studied is resolution of singularities of the cotangent sheaf of a complex- or real-analytic variety Y (or of an algebraic variety Y over a field of characteristic zero). Given Y, we ask whether there is a global resolution…

We develop an approach that allows to construct semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of surfaces with cyclic quotient singularities whose components are equivalent to derived categories of local finite dimensional algebras.…

Let $C$ be an irreducible projective plane curve in the complex projective space ${\mathbb{P}}^2$. The classification of such curves, up to the action of the automorphism group $PGL(3,{\mathbb{C}})$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^2$, is a very difficult…

Consider a projective variety $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ (over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero), together with a (reduced) simple normal crossings divisor $E \subset \mathbb{P}^n$, where the degrees of both $X$ and $E$…

This paper studies several singularity categories of a locally bounded $k-$linear category $\mathscr{C}$ with radical square zero. Following the work of Bautista and Liu [6], we give a complete description of $D^{b}_{sg}(\mathscr{C})$,…
