Toric Degenerations of Fano Threefolds Giving Weak Landau-Ginzburg Models
Journal of Algebra. 2013. Vol. 374. P. 104-121.
We show that every Picard rank one smooth Fano threefold has a weak Landau–Ginzburg model coming from a toric degeneration. The fibers of these Landau–Ginzburg models can be compactified to K3 surfaces with Picard lattice of rank 19. We also show that any smooth Fano variety of arbitrary dimension which is a complete intersection of Cartier divisors in weighted projective space has a very weak Landau–Ginzburg model coming from a toric degeneration.

We introduce graph potentials, which are Laurent polynomials associated to (colored) trivalent graphs. These graphs encode degenerations of curves to rational curves, and graph potentials encode degenerations of the moduli space of rank 2 bundles with fixed determinant. We show that the birational type of the graph potential only depends on the homotopy type of ...

The asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the quantum differential equation of a Fano manifold F defines a characteristic class A_F of F, called the principal asymptotic class. Gamma conjecture of Vasily Golyshev and the present authors claims that the principal asymptotic class A_F equals the Gamma class G_F associated to Euler's Γ-function. We illustrate in ...

Consider a Laurent polynomial with real positive coefficients such that the origin is strictly inside its Newton polytope. Then it is strongly convex as a function of real positive argument. So it has a distinguished Morse critical point --- the unique critical point with real positive coordinates. As a consequence we obtain a positive answer ...

Given a singular variety I discuss the relations between quantum cohomology of its resolution and smoothing. In particular, I explain how toric degenerations helps with computing Gromov--Witten invariants, and the role of this story in Fanosearch programme. The challenge is to formulate enumerative symplectic geometry of complex 3-folds in a way suitable for extracting invariants ...

The quantum period of a variety X is a generating function for certain Gromov-Witten invariants of X which plays an important role in mirror symmetry. In this paper we compute the quantum periods of all 3-dimensional Fano manifolds. In particular we show that 3-dimensional Fano manifolds with very ample anticanonical bundle have mirrors given by ...

P. Berglund, T. Hübsch, and M. Henningson proposed a method to construct mirror symmetric Calabi–Yau manifolds. They considered a pair consisting of an invertible polynomial and of a finite (abelian) group
of its diagonal symmetries together with a dual pair. A. Takahashi suggested a method to generalize this construction to symmetry groups generated by some diagonal ...

An affine algebraic variety X of dimension ≥2 is called flexible if the subgroup SAut(X)⊂Aut(X) generated by the one-parameter unipotent subgroups acts m-transitively on reg(X) for any m≥1. In the previous paper we proved that any nondegenerate toric affine variety X is flexible. In the present paper we show that one can find a subgroup of SAut(X) generated by a finite number of one-parameter unipotent subgroups which has the same ...

This paper suggests a new approach to questions of rationality of threefolds based on category theory. Following M. Ballard, D. Favero, L. Katzarkov (ArXiv:1012.0864) and D. Favero, L. Katzarkov (Noether--Lefschetz Spectra and Algebraic cycles, in preparation) we enhance constructions from A. Kuznetsov (arXiv:0904.4330) by introducing Noether--Lefschetz spectra --- an interplay between Orlov spectra (C. Oliva, ...

Let Fλ be a generalized flag variety of a simple Lie group G embedded into the projectivization of an irreducible G-module Vλ. We define a flat degeneration Fλa, which is a GaM variety. Moreover, there exists a larger group Ga acting on Fλa, which is a degeneration of the group G. The group Ga contains ...

An open translation-equivariant embedding of the affine space A^n into a complete nonprojective algebraic variety X is constructed for any n >= 3. The main tool is the theory of toric varieties. In the case n = 3, the orbit structure of the obtained action on the variety X is described. ...

Cardy-Frobenius algebra is the algebraic structure on the space of states in open-closed topological field theory. We prove that every semisimple super Cardy-Frobenius algebras is the direct sum of the super Cardy-Frobenius algebras of three simple types. We also apply our results to singularity theory via Landau-Ginzburg models and matrix factorizations. ...

In 2021, Dzhunusov and Zaitseva classified two-dimensional normal affine commutative algebraic monoids. In this work, we extend this classification to noncommutative monoid structures on normal affine surfaces. We prove that two-dimensional algebraic monoids are toric. We also show how to find all monoid structures on a normal toric surface. Every such structure is induced by ...

A non-degenerate toric variety X is called S-homogeneous if the subgroup of the automorphism group Aut(X) generated by root subgroups acts on X transitively. We prove that maximal S-homogeneous toric varieties are in bijection with pairs (P,A), where P is an abelian group and A is a finite collection of elements in P such that A generates the group P and for every a∈A the element a is contained in the semigroup generated by A∖{a}. We show that any ...

Here we generalize the Saito duality between Burnside rings to a case of non-abelian groups and prove a "non-abelian" generalization of the statement about the equivariant Saito duality ...

Let the compact torus Tn−1 act on a smooth compact manifold X2n effectively with nonempty finite set of fixed points. We pose the question: what can be said about the orbit space X2n/Tn−1 if the action is cohomologically equivariantly formal (which essentially means that Hodd(X2n;Z)=0). It happens that homology of the orbit space can be arbitrary in degrees 3 and higher. For any finite ...

Given a toric affine algebraic variety X and a collection of one-parameter unipotent subgroups U_1,…,U_s of Aut(X), which are normalized by the torus acting on X, we show that the group G generated by U_1,…,U_s verifies the following alternative of Tits type: either G is a unipotent algebraic group or it contains a non-abelian free subgroup. We deduce that if G is 2-transitive on a G-orbit in X, then G contains a non-abelian ...
