Non-supersingular hyperelliptic jacobians

Yuri G. Zarhin (2004)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Let $K$ be a field of odd characteristic $p$ , let $f (x)$ be an irreducible separable polynomial of degree $n \geq 5$ with big Galois group (the symmetric group or the alternating group). Let $C$ be the hyperelliptic curve $y^{2} = f (x)$ and $J (C)$ its jacobian. We prove that $J (C)$ does not have nontrivial endomorphisms over an algebraic closure of $K$ if either $n \geq 7$ or $p \neq 3$ .

The Brauer group and the Brauer–Manin set of products of varieties

Alexei N. Skorobogatov, Yuri G. Zahrin (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $X$ and $Y$ be smooth and projective varieties over a field $k$ finitely generated over $Q$ , and let $\bar{X}$ and $\bar{Y}$ be the varieties over an algebraic closure of $k$ obtained from $X$ and $Y$ , respectively, by extension of the ground field. We show that the Galois invariant subgroup of Br $(\bar{X}) \oplus$ Br( $\bar{Y})$ has finite index in the Galois invariant subgroup of Br $(\bar{X} \times \bar{Y})$ . This implies that the cokernel of the natural map Br $(X) \oplus$ Br $(Y) \to$ Br $(X \times Y)$ is finite when $k$ is a number field. In this case we prove that the Brauer–Manin set of the...

Brill–Noether loci for divisors on irregular varieties

Margarida Mendes Lopes, Rita Pardini, Pietro Pirola (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We take up the study of the Brill-Noether loci $W^{r} (L, X) : = {η \in {Pic}^{0} (X) | h^{0} (L \otimes η) \geq r + 1}$ , where $X$ is a smooth projective variety of dimension $> 1$ , $L \in Pic (X)$ , and $r \geq 0$ is an integer. By studying the infinitesimal structure of these loci and the Petri map (defined in analogy with the case of curves), we obtain lower bounds for $h^{0} (K_{D})$ , where $D$ is a divisor that moves linearly on a smooth projective variety $X$ of maximal Albanese dimension. In this way we sharpen the results of [Xi] and we generalize them to dimension $> 2$ . In the $2$ -dimensional case...

On coverings of simple abelian varieties

Olivier Debarre (2006)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

To any finite covering $f : Y \to X$ 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 $X^{'} \to X$ . This result is obtained by showing that $E_{f}$ is $M$ -regular...

Fields of moduli of three-point $G$ -covers with cyclic $p$ -Sylow, II

Andrew Obus (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

We continue the examination of the stable reduction and fields of moduli of $G$ -Galois covers of the projective line over a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic $(0, p)$ , where $G$ has a $p$ -Sylow subgroup $P$ of order $p^{n}$ . Suppose further that the normalizer of $P$ acts on $P$ via an involution. Under mild assumptions, if $f : Y \to ℙ^{1}$ is a three-point $G$ -Galois cover defined over $\bar{ℚ}$ , then the $n$ th higher ramification groups above $p$ for the upper numbering of the (Galois closure of...

The local lifting problem for actions of finite groups on curves

Ted Chinburg, Robert Guralnick, David Harbater (2011)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$ . We study obstructions to lifting to characteristic $0$ the faithful continuous action $φ$ of a finite group $G$ on $k [[t]]$ . To each such $φ$ a theorem of Katz and Gabber associates an action of $G$ on a smooth projective curve $Y$ over $k$ . We say that the KGB obstruction of $φ$ vanishes if $G$ acts on a smooth projective curve $X$ in characteristic $0$ in such a way that $X / H$ and $Y / H$ have the same genus for all subgroups $H \subset G$ . We determine for which $G$ the KGB...

$J$ -invariant of linear algebraic groups

Viktor Petrov, Nikita Semenov, Kirill Zainoulline (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a semisimple linear algebraic group of inner type over a field $F$ , and let $X$ be a projective homogeneous $G$ -variety such that $G$ splits over the function field of $X$ . We introduce the $J$ -invariant of $G$ which characterizes the motivic behavior of $X$ , and generalizes the $J$ -invariant defined by A. Vishik in the context of quadratic forms. We use this $J$ -invariant to provide motivic decompositions of all generically split projective homogeneous $G$ -varieties, e.g. Severi-Brauer varieties,...

Cluster ensembles, quantization and the dilogarithm

Vladimir V. Fock, Alexander B. Goncharov (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

A cluster ensemble is a pair $(𝒳, 𝒜)$ of positive spaces (i.e. varieties equipped with positive atlases), coming with an action of a symmetry group $Γ$ . The space $𝒜$ is closely related to the spectrum of a cluster algebra [12]. The two spaces are related by a morphism $p : 𝒜 \to 𝒳$ . The space $𝒜$ is equipped with a closed $2$ -form, possibly degenerate, and the space $𝒳$ has a Poisson structure. The map $p$ is compatible with these structures. The dilogarithm together with its motivic and quantum avatars plays a central...

Semistability of Frobenius direct images over curves

Vikram B. Mehta, Christian Pauly (2007)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$ . Given a semistable vector bundle $E$ over $X$ , we show that its direct image $F_{*} E$ under the Frobenius map $F$ of $X$ is again semistable. We deduce a numerical characterization of the stable rank- $p$ vector bundles $F_{*} L$ , where $L$ is a line bundle over $X$ .

Construction of Mendelsohn designs by using quasigroups of $(2, q)$ -varieties

Lidija Goračinova-Ilieva, Smile Markovski (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let $q$ be a positive integer. An algebra is said to have the property $(2, q)$ if all of its subalgebras generated by two distinct elements have exactly $q$ elements. A variety $𝒱$ of algebras is a variety with the property $(2, q)$ if every member of $𝒱$ has the property $(2, q)$ . Such varieties exist only in the case of $q$ prime power. By taking the universes of the subalgebras of any finite algebra of a variety with the property $(2, q)$ , $2 < q$ , blocks of Steiner system of type $(2, q)$ are obtained. The stated correspondence...

On the birational gonalities of smooth curves

E. Ballico (2014)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

Let $C$ be a smooth curve of genus $g$ . For each positive integer $r$ the birational $r$ -gonality $s_{r} (C)$ of $C$ is the minimal integer $t$ such that there is $L \in {Pic}^{t} (C)$ with $h^{0} (C, L) = r + 1$ . Fix an integer $r \geq 3$ . In this paper we prove the existence of an integer $g_{r}$ such that for every integer $g \geq g_{r}$ there is a smooth curve $C$ of genus $g$ with $s_{r + 1} (C) / (r + 1) > s_{r} (C) / r$ , i.e. in the sequence of all birational gonalities of $C$ at least one of the slope inequalities fails.

Elements of large order on varieties over prime finite fields

Mei-Chu Chang, Bryce Kerr, Igor E. Shparlinski, Umberto Zannier (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $𝒱$ be a fixed algebraic variety defined by $m$ polynomials in $n$ variables with integer coefficients. We show that there exists a constant $C (𝒱)$ such that for almost all primes $p$ for all but at most $C (𝒱)$ points on the reduction of $𝒱$ modulo $p$ at least one of the components has a large multiplicative order. This generalises several previous results and is a step towards a conjecture of B. Poonen.

Purity of level $m$ stratifications

Marc-Hubert Nicole, Adrian Vasiu, Torsten Wedhorn (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p > 0$ . Let $D_{m}$ be a ${BT}_{m}$ over $k$ (i.e., an $m$ -truncated Barsotti–Tate group over $k$ ). Let $S$ be a $k$ -scheme and let $X$ be a ${BT}_{m}$ over $S$ . Let $S_{D_{m}} (X)$ be the subscheme of $S$ which describes the locus where $X$ is locally for the fppf topology isomorphic to $D_{m}$ . If $p \geq 5$ , we show that $S_{D_{m}} (X)$ is pure in $S$ , i.e. the immersion $S_{D_{m}} (X) ↪ S$ is affine. For $p \in {2, 3}$ , we prove purity if $D_{m}$ satisfies a certain technical property depending only on its $p$ -torsion $D_{m} [p]$ . For $p \geq 5$ , we apply the developed techniques to show that...

Preperiodic dynatomic curves for $z \mapsto z^{d} + c$

Yan Gao (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The preperiodic dynatomic curve $_{n, p}$ is the closure in ℂ² of the set of (c,z) such that z is a preperiodic point of the polynomial $z \mapsto z^{d} + c$ with preperiod n and period p (n,p ≥ 1). We prove that each $_{n, p}$ has exactly d-1 irreducible components, which are all smooth and have pairwise transverse intersections at the singular points of $_{n, p}$ . We also compute the genus of each component and the Galois group of the defining polynomial of $_{n, p}$ .

Monodromy of a family of hypersurfaces

Vincenzo Di Gennaro, Davide Franco (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $Y$ be an $(m + 1)$ -dimensional irreducible smooth complex projective variety embedded in a projective space. Let $Z$ be a closed subscheme of $Y$ , and $δ$ be a positive integer such that $ℐ_{Z, Y} (δ)$ is generated by global sections. Fix an integer $d \geq δ + 1$ , and assume the general divisor $X \in | H^{0} (Y, ℐ_{Z, Y} (d)) |$ is smooth. Denote by $H^{m} {(X; ℚ)}_{⊥ Z}^{van}$ the quotient of $H^{m} (X; ℚ)$ by the cohomology of $Y$ and also by the cycle classes of the irreducible components of dimension $m$ of $Z$ . In the present paper we prove that the monodromy representation on $H^{m} {(X; ℚ)}_{⊥ Z}^{van}$ for the family...

On standard norm varieties

Nikita A. Karpenko, Alexander S. Merkurjev (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $p$ be a prime integer and $F$ a field of characteristic $0$ . Let $X$ be theof a symbol in the Galois cohomology group $H^{n + 1} (F, μ_{p}^{\otimes n})$ (for some $n \geq 1$ ), constructed in the proof of the Bloch-Kato conjecture. The main result of the paper affirms that the function field $F (X)$ has the following property: for any equidimensional variety $Y$ , the change of field homomorphism $CH (Y) \to CH (Y_{F (X)})$ of Chow groups with coefficients in integers localized at $p$ is surjective in codimensions $< (dim X) / (p - 1)$ . One of the main ingredients of the proof is a computation...
