Conjectural deformation of secant sheaves on abelian sixfolds

About 1 year old · traced to

Let XX be an abelian threefold, let X^\hat X be its dual, and let GF1,F2{{{{{{{{\mathcal G}}}}}}}}_{F_1,F_2} be the sheaf constructed from non-zero coherent sheaves F1,F2F_1,F_2 whose Chern characters lie in a common KK-secant plane. Let Θw∈∧2V∗\Theta_w\in\wedge^2V^* and J^ww∈∧+6V∗\hat J_{ww}\in\wedge^6_+V^* be the indicated Spin⁡(V)w\operatorname{Spin}(V)_w-invariant classes, where w=ch(F1)w=ch(F_1). The secant-sheaf conjecture. The sheaf GF1,F2{{{{{{{{\mathcal G}}}}}}}}_{F_1,F_2} is supported on a subscheme of codimension 11 in X×X^X\times\hat X, all classes chi(GF1,F2)ch_i({{{{{{{{\mathcal G}}}}}}}}_{F_1,F_2}) are Spin⁡(V)w\operatorname{Spin}(V)_w-invariant, and

ch3(GF1,F2)=sJ^ww+tΘw3,ch_3({{{{{{{{\mathcal G}}}}}}}}_{F_1,F_2})=s\hat J_{ww}+t\Theta_w^3,

with s,t∈Qs,t\in\mathbb Q and s≠0s\ne0; moreover, the pair (X×X^,GF1,F2)(X\times\hat X,{{{{{{{{\mathcal G}}}}}}}}_{F_1,F_2}) deforms with X×X^X\times\hat X to a pair (A,G)(A,{{{{{{{{\mathcal G}}}}}}}}) for every abelian sixfold AA in the period domain Ωw\Omega_w. This predicts algebraic representatives for distinguished invariant Hodge classes throughout the relevant period domain, while the surrounding results use derived equivalences and deformation theory to establish related cases.
