Double quintic symmetroids, Reye congruences, and their derived equivalence

Abstract

We consider Calabi-Yau threefolds Y defined as smooth linear sections of the double cover of the quintic symmetric determinantal hypersurface in P^{14}. In our previous works, we have shown that these Calabi-Yau threefolds Y are naturally paired with Reye congruence Calabi-Yau threefolds X, and X and Y have several interesting properties from the view point of mirror symmetry and projective geometry. In this paper, we prove the derived equivalence between Y and X.
