Fano 4-fold quiver moduli from subspace quivers
arXiv:2607.12895
The paper classifies all Fano fourfolds that can be realized as moduli spaces of representations of subspace quivers, identifying exactly four such varieties and describing their geometric properties.
Abstract
We classify the moduli spaces of representations of subspace quivers which are Fano fourfolds, under a natural assumption on the dimension vector. These moduli spaces can also be described as GIT quotients of products of Grassmannians by the diagonal action of a projective linear group, and there are exactly four of them. They are rational, of pure Hodge-Tate type, infinitesimally rigid, and have finite automorphism groups, with Picard ranks 5, 6, 6 and 7, making them interesting examples in the classification of Fano fourfolds of large Picard rank, as they are not toric or products. Two are known varieties: Manivel's Segre cousin of the Segre cubic 3-fold, and the Fano model of the blowup of in six points. The other two appear to be new: one is an involution surface bundle over , and the other is a "Segre cousin once-removed", whose geometry closely parallels that of the Segre cousin. Using techniques from quiver moduli, which we survey, we describe the geometry of all four fourfolds in detail.
