Relative homological projective duality conjecture for genus-one Calabi–Yau threefolds with a 5-section

Let BB be a generalized del Pezzo surface with b2(X)=b2(B)+1b_2(X)=b_2(B)+1, and let

π:XB\pi:X\rightarrow B

be a smooth genus-one fibered Calabi–Yau threefold with a 5-section. Assume that XX is the degeneracy locus D2(ϕ)D_2(\phi) of a generic skew-symmetric map associated to rank-five vector bundles VV and EE and a line bundle LL on BB. Relative homological projective duality conjecture. There exist rank-five vector bundles VV' and EE' on BB with Chern classes given by the stated bundle involution, and a line bundle LL' satisfying

c1(L)=15(2c1(E)+c1(V)+c1(B)),c_1(L')=\frac15\left(2c_1(E')+c_1(V')+c_1(B)\right),

such that the corresponding genus-one fibered Calabi–Yau threefold

π:XB\pi^\vee:X^\vee\rightarrow B

is the relative homological projective dual of XX.

The conjecture formalizes the observed exchange between the two genus-one fibrations and is supported in the source by checks against the available examples. Its resolution status is not specified.
