Excellent connections in the motives of quadrics

Alexander Vishik (2011)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

In this article we prove the conjecture claiming that the motive of a real quadric is the “most decomposable” among anisotropic quadrics of given dimension over all fields. This imposes severe restrictions on the motive of arbitrary anisotropic quadric. As a corollary we estimate from below the rank of indecomposable direct summand in the motive of a quadric in terms of its dimension. This generalizes the well-known Binary Motive Theorem. Moreover, we have the description of the Tate motives involved....

Families of reduced zero-dimensional schemes.

Juan C. Migliore (2006)

Collectanea Mathematica

A great deal of recent activity has centered on the question of whether, for a given Hilbert function, there can fail to be a unique minimum set of graded Betti numbers, and this is closely related to the question of whether the associated Hilbert scheme is irreducible or not. We give a broad class of Hilbert functions for which we show that there is no minimum, and hence that the associated Hilbert sheme is reducible. Furthermore, we show that the Weak Lefschetz Property holds for the general element...

Fano manifolds of degree ten and EPW sextics

Atanas Iliev, Laurent Manivel (2011)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

O’Grady showed that certain special sextics in 5 called EPW sextics admit smooth double covers with a holomorphic symplectic structure. We propose another perspective on these symplectic manifolds, by showing that they can be constructed from the Hilbert schemes of conics on Fano fourfolds of degree ten. As applications, we construct families of Lagrangian surfaces in these symplectic fourfolds, and related integrable systems whose fibers are intermediate Jacobians.
