Hodge numbers are not derived invariants in positive characteristic
Abstract: We study a pair of Calabi-Yau threefolds X and M, fibered in non-principally polarized Abelian surfaces and their duals, and an equivalence Db(X) = Db(M), building on work of Gross, Popescu, Bak, and Schnell. Over the complex numbers, X is simply connected while pi_1(M) = (Z/3)2. In characteristic 3, we find that X and M have different Hodge numbers, which would be impossible in characteristic 0. In an appendix, we give a streamlined proof of Abuaf's result that the ring H*(O) is a derived invariant of complex threefolds and fourfolds. A second appendix by Alexander Petrov gives a family of higher-dimensional examples to show that h{0,3} is not a derived invariant in any positive characteristic.
