FROM EXCEPTIONAL COLLECTIONS TO MOTIVIC DECOMPOSITIONS Via Noncommutative Motives
, 2012
"... Making use of noncommutative motives we relate exceptional collections (and more generally semi-orthogonal decompositions) to motivic decompositions. On one hand we prove that the Chow motive M(X)Q of every smooth and proper Deligne-Mumford stack X, whose bounded derived category D b (X) of cohere ..."

Making use of noncommutative motives we relate exceptional collections (and more generally semi-orthogonal decompositions) to motivic decompositions. On one hand we prove that the Chow motive M(X)Q of every smooth and proper Deligne-Mumford stack X, whose bounded derived category D b (X) of coherent schemes admits a full exceptional collection, decomposes into a direct sum of tensor powers of the Lefschetz motive. Examples include projective spaces, quadrics, toric varieties, homogeneous spaces, Fano threefolds, and moduli spaces. On the other hand we prove that if M(X)Q decomposes into a direct direct sum of tensor powers of the Lefschetz motive and moreover D b (X) admits a semi-orthogonal decomposition, then the noncommutative motive of each one of the pieces of the semi-orthogonal decomposition is a direct sum of ⊗-units. As an application we obtain a simplification of Dubrovin’s conjecture.
Profiling the brane drain in a nonsupersymmetric orbifold

"... We study D-branes in a nonsupersymmetric orbifold of type C 2 /Γ, perturbed by a tachyon condensate, using a gauged linear sigma model. The RG flow has both higgs and coulomb branches, and each branch supports different branes. The coulomb branch branes account for the “brane drain ” from the higgs ..."

We study D-branes in a nonsupersymmetric orbifold of type C 2 /Γ, perturbed by a tachyon condensate, using a gauged linear sigma model. The RG flow has both higgs and coulomb branches, and each branch supports different branes. The coulomb branch branes account for the “brane drain ” from the higgs branch, but their precise relation to fractional branes has hitherto been unknown. Building on the results of hep-th/0403016 we construct, in detail, the map between fractional branes and the coulomb/higgs branch branes for two examples in the type 0 theory. This map depends on the phase of the tachyon condensate in a surprising and intricate way. In the mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture the dependence on the tachyon phase is manifested by discontinuous changes in the shape of the D-brane. July 20, 2005 1. Introduction and
Stokes Matrix for the Quantum Cohomology of Cubic Surfaces
"... We prove the conjectural relation between the Stokes matrix for the quantum cohomology of X and an exceptional collection generating D b coh(X) when X is a smooth cubic surface. The proof is based on a toric degeneration of a cubic surface, the Givental’s mirror theorem for toric manifolds, and the ..."

We prove the conjectural relation between the Stokes matrix for the quantum cohomology of X and an exceptional collection generating D b coh(X) when X is a smooth cubic surface. The proof is based on a toric degeneration of a cubic surface, the Givental’s mirror theorem for toric manifolds, and the Picard-Lefschetz theory. 1

We study 4d N = 2 gauge theories with a co-dimension two full surface operator, which exhibit a fascinating interplay of supersymmetric gauge theories, equivariant Gromov-Witten theory and geometric representation theory. For pure Yang-Mills and N = 2 ∗ theory, we describe a full surface operator as the 4d gauge theory coupled to a 2d N = (2, 2) gauge theory. By supersymmetric localizations, we present the exact partition functions of both 4d and 2d theories which satisfy integrable equations. In addition, the form of the structure constants with a semi-degenerate field in SL(N,R) WZNW model is predicted from one-loop determinants of 4d gauge theories with a full surface operator via the AGT relation.
