Description

The goal of the seminar is to learn the basics of derived algebraic geometry with the purpose of understanding Huybrechts's proof of the following theorem.
Theorem. Let $S$ and $S'$ be two projective complex K3 surfaces and let $\phi\colon H^2(S,\mathbb{Q}) \to H^2(S',\mathbb{Q})$ be an Hodge isometry between them. Then $\phi$ yields an algebraic class in $H^{2,2}(S\times S',\mathbb{Q})$. In other words, $\phi$ is induced by an algebraic correspondence between $S$ and $S'$.
This result was first proven via analytic methods by Buskin. (Lenny Taelman organised an Intercity Seminar on his proof in the spring of 2016.) In contrast, Huybrechts's proof uses the language of derived algebraic geometry and Fourier–Mukai transforms in particular. During the course of the seminar, we will learn these techniques, and finally we discuss the proof of the aforementioned theorem. Our main reference is Huybrechts's book Fourier–Mukai transforms in algebraic geometry, and his preprint Motives of isogenous K3 surfaces.
