Categorical Torelli theorems for weighted hypersurfaces
We study the categorical Torelli theorem for smooth (weighted) hypersurfaces in (weighted) projective spaces via the Hochschild–Serre algebra of their Kuznetsov components. In the first part of the paper, we show that a natural graded subalgebra of the Hochschild–Serre algebra of the Kuznetsov component of a degree d weighted hypersurface in ℙ ( 𝑎 0 , … , 𝑎 𝑛 ) reconstructs the graded subalgebra of the Jacobian ring generated by the degree 𝑡 : = g c d ( 𝑑 , ∑ 𝑛 𝑖 = 0 𝑎 𝑖 ) piece under mild assumptions. Using results of Donagi and Cox–Green, this gives a categorical Torelli theorem for most smooth hypersurfaces Y of degree 𝑑 ≤ 𝑛 in ℙ 𝑛 such that d does not divide 𝑛 + 1 (the exception being the cases of the form ( 𝑑 , 𝑛 ) = ( 4 , 4 𝑘 + 2 ) , for which a result of Voisin lets us deduce a generic categorical Torelli theorem when 𝑘 ≥ 1 5 0 ). As a corollary, we prove a refined categorical Torelli theorem for a Fano variety whose Kuznetsov component is a Calabi–Yau category of dimension 2 𝑚 + 1 . Next, we show that the Jacobian ring of the Veronese double cone can be reconstructed from its graded subalgebra of even degree, thus proving a categorical Torelli theorem for the Veronese double cone. Furthermore, we prove categorical Torelli theorems for smooth generalized Veronese double cones and k -sheeted covering of ℙ 𝑛 . In the second part, we reconstruct the infinitesimal Variation of Hodge structures of a series of (weighted) hypersurfaces from their Kuznetsov components via the Hochschild–Serre algebra. As a result, we give another proof of categorical Torelli theorems for two classes of (weighted) hypersurfaces above, when they are generic.
