On covering and quasi-unsplit families of curves

Laurent Bonavero, Cinzia Casagrande, Stéphane Druel (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Given a covering family V of effective 1-cycles on a complex projective variety X , we find conditions allowing one to construct a geometric quotient q : X Y , with q regular on the whole of X , such that every fiber of q is an equivalence class for the equivalence relation naturally defined by V . Among other results, we show that on a normal and -factorial projective variety X with canonical singularities and dim X 4 , every covering and quasi-unsplit family V of rational curves generates a geometric extremal...

On coverings of simple abelian varieties

Olivier Debarre (2006)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

To any finite covering f : Y X of degree d between smooth complex projective manifolds, one associates a vector bundle E f of rank d - 1 on X whose total space contains Y . It is known that E f is ample when X is a projective space ([Lazarsfeld 1980]), a Grassmannian ([Manivel 1997]), or a Lagrangian Grassmannian ([Kim Maniel 1999]). We show an analogous result when X is a simple abelian variety and f does not factor through any nontrivial isogeny X ' X . This result is obtained by showing that E f is M -regular in the...

On cubics and quartics through a canonical curve

Christian Pauly (2003)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We construct families of quartic and cubic hypersurfaces through a canonical curve, which are parametrized by an open subset in a grassmannian and a Flag variety respectively. Using G. Kempf’s cohomological obstruction theory, we show that these families cut out the canonical curve and that the quartics are birational (via a blowing-up of a linear subspace) to quadric bundles over the projective plane, whose Steinerian curve equals the canonical curve

On curves with natural cohomology and their deficiency modules

Giorgio Bolondi, Jean-Claude Migliore (1993)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

The minimal free resolution of the Hartshorne-Rao module of a curve with natural cohomology is studied, and conditions are given on the degrees and the ranks of the terms of this resolution.

On deformation method in invariant theory

Dmitri Panyushev (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In this paper we relate the deformation method in invariant theory to spherical subgroups. Let G be a reductive group, Z an affine G -variety and H G a spherical subgroup. We show that whenever G / H is affine and its semigroup of weights is saturated, the algebra of H -invariant regular functions on Z has a G -invariant filtration such that the associated graded algebra is the algebra of regular functions of some explicit horospherical subgroup of G . The deformation method in its usual form, as developed...
