Toward the noncommutative minimal model program for Fano varieties

Abstract: We study the noncommutative minimal model program, as proposed by Halpern-Leistner, for Fano varieties. We construct lifts of Iritani's quantum cohomology central charge in the following examples: Grassmannians, smooth quadrics, and smooth cubic threefolds and fourfolds. Moreover, we verify that these lifted paths are quasi-convergent and give rise to the expected semiorthogonal decompositions of the bounded derived category. We also construct geometric stability conditions in the examples above and observe that, after suitable isomonodromic deformation of the quantum cohomology central charge, the quasi-convergent paths for Grassmannians and quadrics can be chosen to start in the geometric region.
