Abstract

top
The main result of this paper is as follows: let X , Y be smooth projective threefolds (over a field of characteristic zero) such that b 2 ( X ) = b 2 ( Y ) = 1 . If Y is not a projective space, then the degree of a morphism f : X Y is bounded in terms of discrete invariants of X and Y . Moreover, suppose that X and Y are smooth projective n -dimensional with cyclic Néron-Severi groups. If c 1 ( Y ) = 0 , then the degree of f is bounded iff Y is not a flat variety. In particular, to prove our main theorem we show the non-existence of a flat 3-dimensional projective variety with b 2 = 1 .
