A counterexample to King's conjecture

Abstract: King's conjecture states that on every smooth complete toric variety X there exists a strongly exceptional collection which generates the bounded derived category of X and which consists of line bundles. We give a counterexample to this conjecture. This example is just the Hirzebruch surface F 2 iteratively blown up three times, and we show by explicit computation of cohomology vanishing that there exist no strongly exceptional sequences of length 7 which consist of line bundles.

“…Kawamata [2006] showed that every smooth, projective toric variety admits a full exceptional collection, but not necessarily a strong one. Hille and Perling [2006] have recently constructed a toric counterexample to King's conjecture, but the question of how common such collections are is still wide open. Example 1.12.…”

“…Kawamata [Kaw06] showed that every smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stack has a full exceptional collection of sheaves, but we note that these collections are not shown to be strong, nor do they consist of bundles. It is important to note that the existence of full strong exceptional collections of line bundles is rare; Hille-Perling [HP06] constructed smooth toric surfaces that do not have such collections. Even when only considering smooth toric Fano varieties, there exist examples in dimensions ≥ 419 that do not have full strong exceptional collections of line bundles, as demonstrated by Efimov [Efi10].…”

“…While this turned out to be false, see [9], it is still natural to conjecture that every smooth nef-Fano toric variety possesses such a collection, and there is some numerical evidence towards it. Here a variety is called nef-Fano (also often referred to as weak Fano) if its anticanonical class is nef and big, though not necessarily ample.…”
