Categorical genus for log del Pezzo surfaces with cyclic quotient singularities
Abstract
For the canonical stack š³ of a log del Pezzo surface with cyclic quotient singularities, we compute its categorical genus as gcat(š³)= 1+1/2āj wj(ājā1), where wj=gcd(nj,qj+1) and āj=nj/wj are the local widths and Gorenstein indices of the singularities 1/nj(1,qj). Serre duality and inertial Riemann--Roch separate the smooth contribution from the local canonical characters, and identify categorical genus with 1+dim Hš³age<1. Passing to a sufficiently general ā-Gorenstein deformation defines the residual invariant gcatqG(X); its difference from gcat(š³) is exactly the weighted T-content contribution. For any surface admitting a toric ā-Gorenstein degeneration, this identifies the residual categorical invariant with Tveiten's mutable genus, the genus of a general maximally mutable Laurent-polynomial fiber for the chosen degeneration. The locally ā-Gorenstein rigid comparison is the special case in which the drop vanishes. For toric surfaces, the categorical genus of the given canonical stack counts all interior lattice points and equals the genus of a general Laurent-polynomial fiber. Explicit Oneto--Petracci mirrors give direct checks.

AB - For the canonical stack š³ of a log del Pezzo surface with cyclic quotient singularities, we compute its categorical genus as g_cat(š³)= 1+1/2ā_j w_j(ā_jā1), where w_j=gcd(n_j,q_j+1) and ā_j=n_j/w_j are the local widths and Gorenstein indices of the singularities 1/n_j(1,q_j). Serre duality and inertial Riemann--Roch separate the smooth contribution from the local canonical characters, and identify categorical genus with 1+dim H_š³^age<1. Passing to a sufficiently general ā-Gorenstein deformation defines the residual invariant g_cat^qG(X); its difference from g_cat(š³) is exactly the weighted T-content contribution. For any surface admitting a toric ā-Gorenstein degeneration, this identifies the residual categorical invariant with Tveiten's mutable genus, the genus of a general maximally mutable Laurent-polynomial fiber for the chosen degeneration. The locally ā-Gorenstein rigid comparison is the special case in which the drop vanishes. For toric surfaces, the categorical genus of the given canonical stack counts all interior lattice points and equals the genus of a general Laurent-polynomial fiber.
