Orthogonal Grassmannian decomposition conjecture for a pencil of quadrics
Orthogonal Grassmannian decomposition conjecture for a pencil of quadrics
Let be a pencil of quadrics in whose base locus is smooth in an odd-dimensional projective space. Let be the hyperelliptic curve associated with the pencil, and let denote the relative orthogonal Grassmannian of isotropic 2-planes. Pencil conjecture. There is a semiorthogonal decomposition
This conjecture is obtained formally by subtracting the conjectural decomposition for from the known decomposition for the Hilbert square of the base locus. The paper interprets it as a relativization of full exceptional collections for Grassmannians of isotropic lines; no resolution status is supplied.
