We study tilting for a class of Calabi-Yau algebras associated to helices on Fano varieties. We do this by relating the tilting operation to mutations of exceptional collections. For helices on del Pezzo surfaces the algebras are of…

We prove the homological mirror conjecture for toric del Pezzo surfaces. In this case, the mirror object is a regular function on an algebraic torus. We show that the derived Fukaya category of this mirror coincides with the derived…

We study homological mirror symmetry for Del Pezzo surfaces and their mirror Landau-Ginzburg models. In particular, we show that the derived category of coherent sheaves on a Del Pezzo surface X_k obtained by blowing up CP^2 at k points is…

We state a number of conjectures that together allow one to classify a broad class of del Pezzo surfaces with cyclic quotient singularities using mirror symmetry. We prove our conjectures in the simplest cases. The conjectures relate…

Non-commutative crepant resolutions (NCCRs) are non-commutative versions of classical crepant resolutions in algebraic geometry. For 3-dimensional terminal Gorenstein singularities Iyama and Wemyss proved that all NCCRs are connected by…

We give a new geometric proof of the classification of $T$-polygons, a theorem originally due to Kasprzyk, Nill and Prince, using ideas from mirror symmetry. In particular, this gives a completely geometric proof that any two toric…

In this article we explore compactifications of cluster varieties of finite type in complex dimension two. Cluster varieties can be viewed as the spec of a ring generated by theta functions and a compactification of such varieties can be…

For a del Pezzo surface of degree $\geq 3$, we compute the oscillatory integral for its mirror Landau-Ginzburg model in the sense of Gross-Hacking-Keel [Mark Gross, Paul Hacking, and Sean Keel, "Mirror symmetry for log Calabi-Yau surfaces…

We classify smooth del Pezzo surfaces whose alpha-invariant of Tian is bigger than one.

We address the following question: Determine the affine cones over smooth projective varieties which admit an action of a connected algebraic group different from the standard C*-action by scalar matrices and its inverse action. We show in…

Inspired by the recent progress by Coates-Corti-Kasprzyk et al. on Mirror Symmetry for del Pezzo surfaces, we show that for any positive integer k the deformation families of del Pezzo surfaces with a single 1/k(1,1) singularity (and no…

On del Pezzo surfaces, we study effective ample $\mathbb{R}$-divisors such that the complements of their supports are isomorphic to $\mathbb{A}^1$-bundles over smooth affine curves.

We prove the irreducibility of the moduli space of rank 2 semistable torsion free sheaves (with a generic polarization and any value of c_2) on a K3 or a del Pezzo surface. In the case of a K3 surface, we need to prove a result on the…

A 3-parameter family of helical tubular surfaces obtained by screw revolving a circle provides a useful pedagogical example of how to study geodesics on a surface that admits a 1-parameter symmetry group, but is not as simple as a surface…

This paper focuses on the classification of all toric log Del Pezzo surfaces with exactly one singularity up to isomorphism, and on the description of how they are embedded as intersections of finitely many quadrics into suitable projective…

We describe a notion of lattice polarization for rational elliptic surfaces and weak del Pezzo surfaces, and describe the complex moduli of the former and the K\"{a}hler cone of the latter. We then propose a version of mirror symmetry…

In his book "Cubic forms" Manin discovered that del Pezzo surfaces are related to root systems. To explain the many numerical coincidences Batyrev conjectured that a universal torsor on a del Pezzo surface can be embedded in a certain…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H\subseteq G$ be its subgroup. We prove that if a smooth del Pezzo surface over an algebraically closed field is $H$-birationally rigid then it is also $G$-birationally rigid, answering a geometric version of…

It is well-known that del Pezzo surfaces of degree $9-n$ one-to-one correspond to flat $E_n$ bundles over an elliptic curve. In this paper, we construct $ADE$ bundles over a broader class of rational surfaces which we call $ADE$ surfaces,…

We classify morphisms from proper varieties to Brauer-Severi varieties, which generalizes the classical correspondence between morphisms to projective space and globally generated invertible sheaves. As an application, we study del Pezzo…
