Title |
Derived Equivalence and Pic^0 |
Abstract |
The aim of this talk is to present Popa and Schnell’s result demonstrating that derived equivalent varieties over the complex numbers have isogenous Pic^0’s and discuss the possibility of extending the result to varieties over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic. We will give an application of such an extension to comparing zeta functions of derived equivalent varieties over finite fields. The talk will start with a short introduction to the information about algebraic groups required for Popa and Schnell’s proof. |
