Derived categories of quartic double fivefolds

Abstract

We construct singular quartic double fivefolds whose Kuznetsov component admits a crepant categorical resolution of singularities by a twisted Calabi--Yau threefold. We also construct rational specializations of these fivefolds where such a resolution exists without a twist. This confirms an instance of a higher-dimensional version of Kuznetsov's rationality conjecture, and of a noncommutative version of Reid's fantasy on the connectedness of the moduli of Calabi--Yau threefolds.
