Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ be a smooth Fano hypersurface of dimension $n$ and degree $d$. The derived category of coherent sheaves on $X$ contains an interesting subcategory called the Kuznetsov component $\mathcal{A}_X$. We show that…

Let $X$ be a smooth Fano variety and $\mathcal{K}u(X)$ the Kuznetsov component. Torelli theorems for $\mathcal{K}u(X)$ says that it is uniquely determined by a polarized abelian variety attached to it. An infinitesimal Torelli theorem for…

Let $Y$ admit a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition of its derived category, and consider a cyclic cover $X\to Y$ ramified over a divisor $Z$. In a setting not considered by Kuznetsov and Perry, we define a subcategory $\mathcal{A}_Z$ of…

Let $X$ be a smooth Fano variety. We attach a bi-graded associative algebra $\mathrm{HS}(\mathcal{K}u(X))=\bigoplus_{i,j\in \mathbb{Z}} \mathrm{Hom}(\mathrm{Id},S_{\mathcal{K}u(X)}^{i}[j])$ to the Kuznetsov component $\mathcal{K}u(X)$…

We study (2,2) divisors in $P^2 \times P^2$ giving rise to pairs of non-isomorphic, derived equivalent and L-equivalent K3 surfaces of degree 2. In particular, we confirm the existence of such fourfolds as predicted by Kuznetsov and Shinder…

We prove a categorical version of the Torelli theorem for cubic threefolds. More precisely, we show that the non-trivial part of a semi-orthogonal decomposition of the derived category of a cubic threefold characterizes its isomorphism…

Using the technique of categorical absorption of singularities we prove that the nontrivial components of the derived categories of del Pezzo threefolds of degree $d \in \{2,3,4,5\}$ and crepant categorical resolutions of the nontrivial…

We settle the last open case of Kuznetsov's conjecture on the derived categories of Fano threefolds. Contrary to the original conjecture, we prove the Kuznetsov components of quartic double solids and Gushel-Mukai threefolds are never…

We study the extension of a hyperelliptic K3 surface to a Fano 6-fold. This determines a family of surfaces of general type with p_g=1, K^2=2 and hyperelliptic canonical curve, where each surface is a weighted complete intersection inside a…

We show that some important classes of weak Fano $3$-folds of Picard rank $2$ do not satisfy Bott vanishing. Using this we show that any smooth projective $3$-fold $X$ of Picard rank $2$ with $-K_X$ nef which is the image of a projective…

In this paper, we prove that each automorphism of the Torelli group of a surface is induced by a diffeomorphism of the surface, provided that the surface is a closed, connected, orientable surface of genus at least 3. This result was…

Let X be a smooth, complex Fano 4-fold, and rho(X) its Picard number. If X contains a prime divisor D with rho(X)-rho(D)>2, then either X is a product of del Pezzo surfaces, or rho(X)=5 or 6. In this setting, we completely classify the case…

In this paper we consider double covers of the projective space in relation with the problem of extensions of varieties, specifically of extensions of canonical curves to $K3$ surfaces and Fano 3-folds. In particular we consider $K3$…

We study the Picard variety of the Fano surface of nodal and mildly cuspidal cubic threefolds in arbitrary characteristic by relating divisors on the Fano surface to divisors on the symmetric product of a curve of genus 4.

We survey some recent results concerning the so called Categorical Torelli problem. This is to say how one can reconstruct a smooth projective variety up to isomorphism, by using the homological properties of special admissible…

Let T be a general bidegree (2,2) divisor in the product of two projective planes. Recently A.Verra proved that the existence of two conic bundle structures (c.b.s.) on T implies a new counterexample to the Torelli theorem for Prym…

We classify Fano threefolds with only Gorenstein terminal singularities and Picard number greater than 1 satisfying an additional assumption that the $G$-invariant part of the Weil divisor class group is of rank 1 with respect to an action…

General hyperplane sections of a Fano threefold $Y$ of index 2 and Picard rank 1 are del Pezzo surfaces, and their Picard group is related to a root system. To the corresponding roots, we associate objects in the Kuznetsov component of $Y$…

We study Fano 3-folds with Fano index 2: that is, 3-folds X with rank Pic(X) = 1, Q-factorial terminal singularities and -K_X = 2A for an ample Weil divisor A. We give a first classification of all possible Hilbert series of such polarised…

We generalize the classical approach of describing the infinitesimal Torelli map in terms of multiplication in a Jacobi ring to the case of quasi-smooth complete intersections in weighted projective space. As an application, we prove the…
