The Hyperkahler Period-Index Conjecture

resolvedconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as resolved. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

Huybrechts conjectured that for every Brauer class alpha on a hyperkahler variety X, the index divides the period raised to the power dim(X)/2, strengthening the usual period-index conjecture. Disproved on certain hyperkahler fourfolds, in both the K3^[2] and Kum^2 deformation types.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.

What AI did

Unspecified

The AI disclosure names the role precisely while leaving the model unnamed: "The starting points for this paper were two different LLM-assisted constructions of counterexamples, obtained independently by the authors. The paper is the synthesis of these constructions, with LLMs used to help with the copyediting." Two authors reaching counterexamples independently with model help is a stronger signal than either would be alone.

Timeline

  1. arXiv

    The counterexamples come with divisibility bounds on the Hodge-theoretic index, at 2-torsion and 5-torsion, on very general hyperkahler fourfolds.
