Categorical reconstruction of del Pezzo surfaces: Hochschild--Serre algebras and spinor modifications
Abstract
We prove that, for every smooth complex del Pezzo surface of degree at most four, the enhanced right orthogonal to the structure sheaf determines the surface up to isomorphism. In degrees one, two, and three, we recover the anticanonical equation from intrinsic pieces of the Hochschild-Serre algebra via graded matrix factorizations; in degree four, the relevant Serre diagonal recovers the orbifold canonical ring associated with the pencil of quadrics. We also give an alternative proof in degrees one and two using the Bertini and Geiser involutions, equivariant topological K-theory, and classical Torelli. Then, we study the Clifford component associated with a conic bundle structure over the projective line. In every degree at most four, we construct an abstract spinor bundle whose spinor modification produces another, generally non-isomorphic, del Pezzo surface. We show via Kuznetsov's modification theorem that the relevant base-linear equivalences are precisely those induced by spinor modifications.
