Atoms meet symbols

Leonardo F. Cavenaghi, Ludmil Katzarkov, Maxim Kontsevich

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel framework for constructing invariants in $G$-equivariant birational geometry by unifying two recent approaches: the theory of atoms recently developed by Katzarkov, Kontsevich, Pantev, and Yu, and the theory of modular symbols due to Kontsevich, Tschinkel, and Pestun. We initiate the theory of Chen-Ruan atoms. Assuming the blowup formula for the quantum Chen-Ruan cohomology, we outline how to extend the theory of atoms to global quotient orbifolds and present some striking applications. In addition, we develop a separate class of purely geometric invariants for $\mathbb{Z}/2$- and $\mathbb{Z}/3$-actions on surfaces and threefolds. We provide many examples of non-$G$-linearizable $G$-actions on projective varieties treated with these new techniques.

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel framework for constructing invariants in -equivariant birational geometry by unifying two recent approaches: the theory of atoms recently developed by Katzarkov, Kontsevich, Pantev, and Yu, and the theory of modular symbols due to Kontsevich, Tschinkel, and Pestun. We initiate the theory of Chen-Ruan atoms. Assuming the blowup formula for the quantum Chen-Ruan cohomology, we outline how to extend the theory of atoms to global quotient orbifolds and present some striking applications. In addition, we develop a separate class of purely geometric invariants for - and -actions on surfaces and threefolds. We provide many examples of non--linearizable -actions on projective varieties treated with these new techniques.

Key Result

Theorem 1

Assume that $X(1,1,1,1)$ is invariant under the $\mathbb Z/2$-action induced by swapping the first and second $\mathbb{P}^1$ factors and the third and fourth $\mathbb{P}^1$ factors. Then, there is no $\mathbb Z/2$-linearizable action on $\mathbb{P}^3$ making it $\mathbb Z/2$-equivariantly birational
