K3 categories, one-cycles on cubic fourfolds, and the Beauville-Voisin filtration

Abstract: We explore the connection between $K3$ categories and 0-cycles on holomorphic symplectic varieties. In this paper, we focus on Kuznetsov's noncommutative $K3$ category associated to a nonsingular cubic 4-fold. By introducing a filtration on the $\mathrm{CH}_1$-group of a cubic 4-fold $Y$, we conjecture a sheaf/cycle correspondence for the associated $K3$ category $\mathcal{A}_Y$. This is a noncommutative analog of O'Grady's conjecture concerning derived categories of $K3$ surfaces. We study instances of our conjecture involving rational curves in cubic 4-folds, and verify the conjecture for sheaves supported on low degree rational curves. Our method provides systematic constructions of (a) the Beauville-Voisin filtration on the $\mathrm{CH}_0$-group and (b) algebraically coisotropic subvarieties of a holomorphic symplectic variety which is a moduli sace of stable objects in $\mathcal{A}_Y$.
