Fano fourfolds of type A beta

zero loci on products of type A Grassmannians and flag varieties

Family 8-80-21-a

Küchle’s fourfold of type (b9), parametrizing lines on an intersection of two quadrics in $\mathbb P^6$.

  • $X$, the Fano scheme of lines on a smooth complete intersection of two quadrics in $\mathbb P^6$, has Picard rank $8$ but no projections are described; its $64$ extremal contractions are all small and each contracts a plane to a point.

Quantum differential equation

With $D=t\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}$, the regularized period satisfies $L_X\widehat{\mathrm{G}}_X=0$.

$$\begin{equation} L_X=\left( 20t - 1 \right) \left( 12t + 1 \right) ^{2} \left( 36t - 5 \right) ^{2} \left( 4t - 1 \right) ^{3}D^{4} + 8 t \left( 12t + 1 \right) \left( 36t - 5 \right) \left( 4t - 1 \right) ^{2} \left( 43200t^{3} - 11088t^{2} + 836t + 1 \right)D^{3} + 4 t \left( 4t - 1 \right) \left( 522547200t^{6} - 256877568t^{5} + 42133248t^{4} - 1762944t^{3} - 158896t^{2} + 13356t + 5 \right)D^{2} + 32 \left( 36t - 5 \right) t ^{2} \left( 10368000t^{5} - 5750784t^{4} + 1053504t^{3} - 56976t^{2} - 2712t + 245 \right)D + 64 t ^{2} \left( 89579520t^{6} - 59470848t^{5} + 14637312t^{4} - 1531344t^{3} + 37512t^{2} + 4095t - 175 \right) \notag \end{equation}$$
