  • EDGE Seminar: Ed Segal (UCL) - The symmetric square of the Kuznetsov component

    January 14, 2026  10:50 am - 11:50 am

    The derived category of a cubic 4-fold contains a semi-orthogonal component which famously behaves as a `non-commutative K3 surface'. The symmetric square of this component is thus a `non-commutative hyperkaehler 4-fold'. Galkin conjectured that it should be equivalent to the derived category of an actual hyperkaehler 4-fold: the Fano of lines in the cubic.
    I'll give an informal…

    Title: Sidki doubles
    Abstract: Given a finitely generated group G, Sidki defined a double
    X(G) by taking the free product of two copies of G and forcing each
    element in one copy of G to commute with itself in the other copy. After
    explaining basic results on this notion of double,
    I will explain why the double of a perfect group with property (T),
    still has property (T). This is joint work with Guido Mislin.
