A geometric application of Nori’s connectivity theorem

Claire Voisin (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

We study (rational) sweeping out of general hypersurfaces by varieties having small moduli spaces. As a consequence, we show that general K -trivial hypersurfaces are not rationally swept out by abelian varieties of dimension at least two. As a corollary, we show that Clemens’ conjecture on the finiteness of rational curves of given degree in a general quintic threefold, and Lang’s conjecture saying that such varieties should be rationally swept-out by abelian varieties, contradict. ...

A global mirror symmetry framework for the Landau–Ginzburg/Calabi–Yau correspondence

Alessandro Chiodo, Yongbin Ruan (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We show how the Landau–Ginzburg/Calabi–Yau correspondence for the quintic three-fold can be cast into a global mirror symmetry framework. Then we draw inspiration from Berglund–Hübsch mirror duality construction to provide an analogue conjectural picture featuring all Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces within weighted projective spaces and certain quotients by finite abelian group actions.

Families of hypersurfaces of large degree

Christophe Mourougane (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Grauert and Manin showed that a non-isotrivial family of compact complex hyperbolic curves has finitely many sections. We consider a generic moving enough family of high enough degree hypersurfaces in a complex projective space. We show the existence of a strict closed subset of its total space that contains the image of all its sections.

A Useful Characterization of Some Real Hypersurfaces in a Nonflat Complex Space Form

Takehiro Itoh, Sadahiro Maeda (2006)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We characterize totally η-umbilic real hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form M̃ₙ(c) (= ℂPⁿ(c) or ℂHⁿ(c)) and a real hypersurface of type (A₂) of radius π/(2√c) in ℂPⁿ(c) by observing the shape of some geodesics on those real hypersurfaces as curves in the ambient manifolds (Theorems 1 and 2).

On some numerical properties of Fano varieties

Cinzia Casagrande (2004)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

This is the text of a talk given at the XVII Convegno dell’Unione Matematica Italiana held at Milano, September 8-13, 2003. I would like to thank Angelo Lopez and Ciro Ciliberto for the kind invitation to the conference. I survey some numerical conjectures and theorems concerning relations between the index, the pseudo-index and the Picard number of a Fano variety. The results I refer to are contained in the paper [3], wrote in collaboration with Bonavero, Debarre and Druel. ...

Pre-Tango structures and uniruled varieties

Yoshifumi Takeda (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

The pre-Tango structure is an ample invertible sheaf of locally exact differentials on a variety of positive characteristic. It is well known that pre-Tango structures on curves often induce pathological uniruled surfaces. We show that almost all pre-Tango structures on varieties induce higher-dimensional pathological uniruled varieties, and that each of these uniruled varieties also has a pre-Tango structure. For this purpose, we first consider the p-closed rational vector field...
