Homological projective duality conjecture for higher-dimensional Pfaffian varieties

About 20 years old · traced to

Let WW be a vector space of dimension nn, and consider the Grassmannian

X=Gr⁡(2,W)⊂\PP(Λ2W).X = \operatorname{Gr}(2,W) \subset \PP(\Lambda^2W).

Let

Y=Pf⁡(2⌊n/2⌋−2,W∗)⊂\PP(Λ2W∗)Y = \operatorname{Pf}(2\lfloor n/2\rfloor - 2,W^*) \subset \PP(\Lambda^2W^*)

be the corresponding Pfaffian variety. A noncommutative resolution of singularities of YY is a pair (Y,\CR)(Y,\CR) consisting of YY and its noncommutative resolution algebra \CR\CR.

Higher-dimensional Pfaffian HPD conjecture. There exists a noncommutative resolution of singularities (Y,\CR)(Y,\CR) of YY which is Homologically Projectively Dual to XX.

The conjecture extends the constructions available for dim⁡W=6,7\dim W=6,7 to the case dim⁡W>7\dim W>7. If true, it would yield descriptions of derived categories of Pfaffian hypersurfaces of all degrees; the paper does not establish the general construction or the conjecture.
