In the prequel to this paper, two versions of Le Potier's strange duality conjecture for sheaves over abelian surfaces were studied. A third version is considered here. In the current setup, the isomorphism involves moduli spaces of sheaves with fixed determinant and fixed determinant of the Fourier-Mukai transform on one side, and moduli spaces where both determinants vary, on the other side. We first establish the isomorphism in rank one using the representation theory of Heisenberg groups. For product abelian surfaces, the isomorphism is then shown to hold for sheaves with fiber degree 1 via Fourier-Mukai techniques. By degeneration to product geometries, the duality is obtained generically for a large number of numerical types. Finally, it is shown in great generality that the Verlinde sheaves encoding the variation of the spaces of theta functions are locally free over moduli.
There is a strange duality between the quadrangle isolated complete intersection singularities discovered by the first author and C.T.C.Wall. We derive this duality from the mirror symmetry, the Berglund-Hübsch transposition of invertible polynomials, and our previous results about the strange duality between hypersurface and complete intersection singularities using matrix factorizations of size two.
C.T.C. Wall and the first author discovered an extension of Arnold's strange duality embracing on one hand series of bimodal hypersurface singularities and on the other, isolated complete intersection singularities. In this paper, we derive this duality from the mirror symmetry and the Berglund-Hübsch transposition of invertible polynomials.
We show that the failure of the usual Verdier duality on Bun(G) leads to a new duality functor on the category of D-modules, and we study its relation to the operation of Eisenstein series.
K-theoretic Donaldson invariants are holomorphic Euler characteristics of determinant line bundles on moduli spaces of sheaves on surfaces. We compute generating functions of K-theoretic Donaldson invariants on the projective plane and rational ruled surfaces. We apply this result to prove some cases of Le Potier's strange duality.
The main result of the present paper is the proof of the Strange Duality for elliptic surfaces -- a duality between global sections of determinantal line bundles on moduli spaces of stable sheaves on a fixed elliptic surface. For this, we employ the "Marian-Oprea trick": using Bridgeland's birational isomorphisms, we reduce the problem from a pair of general moduli spaces to a pair of Hilbert schemes. The latter case is a theorem by Marian-Oprea.
We study Le Potier's strange duality conjecture on $\mathbb{P}^2$. We focus on the strange duality map $SD_{c_n^r,d}$ which involves the moduli space of rank $r$ sheaves with trivial first Chern class and second Chern class $n$, and the moduli space of 1-dimensional sheaves with determinant $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2}(d)$ and Euler characteristic 0. By using tools in quiver representation theory, we show that $SD_{c^r_n,d}$ is an isomorphisms for $r=n$ or $r=n-1$ or $d\leq 3$, and in general $SD_{c^r_n,d}$ is injective for any $n\geq r>0$ and $d>0$.
We study Le Potier's strange duality conjecture on $\mathbb{P}^2$. We show the conjecture is true for the pair ($W(2,0,2),~M(d,0)$) with $d>0$, where $W(2,0,2)$ is the moduli space of semistable sheaves of rank 2, zero first Chern class and second Chern class 2, and $M(d,0)$ is the moduli space of 1-dimensional semistable sheaves of first Chern class $dH$ and Euler characteristic 0.
We study Le Potier's strange duality on del Pezzo surfaces using quot schemes to construct independent sections of theta line bundles on moduli spaces of sheaves, one of which is the Hilbert scheme of n points. For n at most 7, we use multiple point formulas to count the length of the quot scheme, which agrees with the dimension of the space of sections on the Hilbert scheme. When the surface is the projective plane and n is arbitrary, we use nice resolutions of general stable sheaves to show that the quot schemes that arise are finite and reduced. Combining our results, we obtain a lower boun…
We show how the "finite Quot scheme method" applied to Le Potier's strange duality on del Pezzo surfaces leads to conjectures (valid for all smooth complex projective surfaces) relating two sets of universal power series on Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces: those for top chern classes of tautological sheaves, and those for Euler characteristics of line bundles. We have verified these predictions computationally for low order. We then give an analysis of these conjectures in small ranks. We also give a combinatorial proof of a formula predicted by our conjectures: the top chern class of th…
We study Le Potier's strange duality conjecture on a rational surface. We focus on the case involving the moduli space of rank 2 sheaves with trivial first Chern class and second Chern class 2, and the moduli space of 1-dimensional sheaves with determinant $L$ and Euler characteristic 0. We show the conjecture for this case is true under some suitable conditions on $L$, which applies to $L$ ample on any Hirzebruch surface $Σ_e:=\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}\oplus\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(e))$ except for $e=1$. When $e=1$, our result applies to $L=aG+bF$ with $b\geq a+[a/2]$, where $F$…
We study Le Potier's strange duality conjecture on a rational surface. We focus on the strange duality map $SD_{c_n^r,L}$ which involves the moduli space of rank $r$ sheaves with trivial first Chern class and second Chern class $n$, and the moduli space of 1-dimensional sheaves with determinant $L$ and Euler characteristic 0. We show there is an exact sequence relating the map $SD_{c_r^r,L}$ to $SD_{c^{r-1}_{r},L}$ and $SD_{c_r^r,L\otimes K_X}$ for all $r\geq1$ under some conditions on $X$ and $L$ which applies to a large number of cases on $\p^2$ or Hirzebruch surfaces . Also on $\mathbb{P}^2…
Over the projective plane and at most two-step blowups of Hirzebruch surfaces, where there are strong full exceptional sequences of line bundles, we obtain foundational results about Gaeta resolutions of coherent sheaves by these line bundles. Under appropriate conditions, we show the locus of semistable sheaves not admitting Gaeta resolutions has codimension at least 2. We then study Le Potier's strange duality conjecture. Over these surfaces, for two orthogonal numerical classes where one has rank one and the other has sufficiently positive first Chern class, we show that the strange morphis…
We examine a sequence of examples of pairs of moduli spaces of sheaves on $\mathbb P^2$ where Le Potier's strange duality is expected to hold. One of the moduli spaces in these pairs is the Hilbert scheme of two points. We compute the sections of the relevant theta bundle as a representation of $SL(X)$, where $\mathbb P^2=\mathbb P(X)$. For the higher rank space, we construct a moduli space using the resolution of exceptional bundles from Coskun, Huizenga, and Woolf. We compute a subspace of the sections of the theta bundle which is dual to the sections on the Hilbert scheme. In the second par…
We prove that the pull back of the canonical theta divisor for E_8-bundles at level one induces a strange duality between Verlinde spaces for G_2 and F_4 at level one on smooth curves of genus g. We also prove a parabolic generalization in terms of conformal blocks and write down identities between conformal blocks divisors in the Picard group of \bar-M_{g,n}.

A. Takahashi suggested a conjectural method to find mirror symmetric pairs consisting of invertible polynomials and symmetry groups generated by some diagonal symmetries and some permutations of variables. Here we generalize the Saito duality between Burnside rings to a case of non-abelian groups and prove a "non-abelian" generalization of the statement about the equivariant Saito duality property for invertible polynomials. It turns out that the statement holds only under a special condition on the action of the subgroup of the permutation group called here PC ("parity condition"). An inspect…
There are strange dual pairs of bimodal singularities that are not assigned an invertible projectivisation in EbelingPloog. We study families of $K3$ surfaces associated to such pairs.
For arbitrary field coefficients $\mathbb{K}$, we show that $\mathbb{K}$-perverse sheaves on a complex affine torus satisfy the so-called propagation package, i.e., the generic vanishing property and the signed Euler characteristic property hold, and the corresponding cohomology jump loci satisfy the propagation property and codimension lower bound. The main ingredient used in the proof is Gabber-Loeser's Mellin transformation functor for $\mathbb{K}$-constructible complexes on a complex affine torus, and the fact that it behaves well with respect to perverse sheaves. As a concrete topological…
In this paper, we formulate and prove a duality for cohomology of curves over perfect fields of positive characteristic with coefficients in Neron models of abelian varieties. This is a global function field version of the author's previous work on local duality and Grothendieck's duality conjecture. It generalizes the perfectness of the Cassels-Tate pairing in the finite base field case. The proof uses the local duality mentioned above, Artin-Milne's global finite flat duality, the non-degeneracy of the height pairing and finiteness of crystalline cohomology. All these ingredients are organiz…
Auslander-Reiten duality for module categories is generalised to Grothendieck abelian categories that have a sufficient supply of finitely presented objects. It is shown that Auslander-Reiten duality amounts to the fact that the functor Ext^1(C,-) into modules over the endomorphism ring of C admits a partially defined right adjoint when C is a finitely presented object. This result seems to be new even for module categories. For appropriate schemes over a field, the connection with Serre duality is discussed.
This paper is a continuation to \cite{Gazaki2017}. For every integer $n\geq 1$, we consider the generalized Galois symbol $K(k;G_1,G_2)/n\xrightarrow{s_n} H^2(k,G_1[n]\otimes G_2[n])$, where $k$ is a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, $G_1,G_2$ are semi-abelian varieties over $k$ and $K(k;G_1,G_2)$ is the Somekawa K-group attached to $G_1, G_2$. Under some mild assumptions, we describe the exact annihilator of the image of $s_n$ under the Tate duality perfect pairing, $H^2(k,G_1[n]\otimes G_2[n])\times H^0(k,Hom(G_1[n]\otimes G_2[n],μ_n))\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}/n$. An important special case is …
For an abelian category with a Serre duality and a finite group action, we compute explicitly the Serre duality on the category of equivariant objects. Special cases and examples are discussed. In particular, an abelian category with a periodic Serre duality and its equivariantization are studied.
