Local volumes of Cartier divisors over normal algebraic varieties

Mihai Fulger (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we study a notion of local volume for Cartier divisors on arbitrary blow-ups of normal complex algebraic varieties of dimension greater than one, with a distinguished point. We apply this to study an invariant for normal isolated singularities, generalizing a volume defined by J. Wahl for surfaces. We also compare this generalization to a different one arising in recent work of T. de Fernex, S. Boucksom, and C. Favre.

Maps of toric varieties in Cox coordinates

Gavin Brown, Jarosław Buczyński (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The Cox ring provides a coordinate system on a toric variety analogous to the homogeneous coordinate ring of projective space. Rational maps between projective spaces are described using polynomials in the coordinate ring, and we generalise this to toric varieties, providing a unified description of arbitrary rational maps between toric varieties in terms of their Cox coordinates. Introducing formal roots of polynomials is necessary even in the simplest examples.

Non-uniruledness and the cancellation problem

Robert Dryło (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Using the notion of uniruledness we indicate a class of algebraic varieties which have a stronger version of the cancellation property. Moreover, we give an affirmative solution to the stable equivalence problem for non-uniruled hypersurfaces.

Numerically trivial foliations

Thomas Eckl (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Given a positive singular hermitian metric of a pseudoeffective line bundle on a complex Kähler manifold, a singular foliation is constructed satisfying certain analytic analogues of numerical conditions. This foliation refines Tsuji’s numerically trivial fibration and the Iitaka fibration. Using almost positive singular hermitian metrics with analytic singularities on a pseudo-effective line bundle , a foliation is constructed refining the nef fibration. If the singularities of the foliation are...
