Exceptional collections

Full exceptional collections in $\mathbf D^{\mathrm b}(\SGr(6,16))$:

Quantum cohomology
small
not generically semisimple [Galkin–Leung–Li–Xiong, Theorem 1.2]

Graded dimensions modulo the index $11$: $\widetilde b_{ 1 }=163>162=\widetilde b_{ 3 }$, where $3\equiv 3\cdot 1\pmod{ 11 }$.

big
generically semisimple [Li–Liu–Yu–Zhang, Theorems 1.2 and 1.4]

Convergent near the large-radius limit.

Homological projective duality

No Lefschetz decomposition recorded. Fullness of the Kuznetsov–Polishchuk collection does not give a Lefschetz decomposition. [Kuznetsov–Polishchuk] [Guseva–Novikov, Theorem 1.2]

No HP-dual model recorded.

$k$-Fanoness

2-Fano: $\mathrm{ch}_i(\mathrm{T}_{ \SGr(6,16) })\cdot Z>0$ for every nonzero effective $i$-dimensional cycle $Z$ and $1\leq i\leq 2$. [Araujo et al., Theorems 1.3 and 1.4]
