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.

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...

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...

An effective proof of the hyperelliptic Shafarevich conjecture

Rafael von Känel (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g \geq 1$ over a number field $K$ with good reduction outside a finite set of places $S$ of $K$ . We prove that $C$ has a Weierstrass model over the ring of integers of $K$ with height effectively bounded only in terms of $g$ , $S$ and $K$ . In particular, we obtain that for any given number field $K$ , finite set of places $S$ of $K$ and integer $g \geq 1$ one can in principle determine the set of $K$ -isomorphism classes of hyperelliptic curves over $K$ of genus $g$ with good reduction outside...

Shells of monotone curves

Josef Mikeš, Karl Strambach (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We determine in $ℝ^{n}$ the form of curves $C$ corresponding to strictly monotone functions as well as the components of affine connections $\nabla$ for which any image of $C$ under a compact-free group $Ω$ of affinities containing the translation group is a geodesic with respect to $\nabla$ . Special attention is paid to the case that $Ω$ contains many dilatations or that $C$ is a curve in $ℝ^{3}$ . If $C$ is a curve in $ℝ^{3}$ and $Ω$ is the translation group then we calculate not only the components of the curvature and the Weyl...

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 $X$ .

On surfaces with p $_{𝑔}$ = q = 1 and non-ruled bicanonical involution

Carlos Rito (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

This paper classifies surfaces $S$ of general type with $p_{g} = q = 1$ having an involution $i$ such that $S / i$ has non-negative Kodaira dimension and that the bicanonical map of $S$ factors through the double cover induced by $i .$ It is shown that $S / i$ is regular and either: a) the Albanese fibration of $S$ is of genus 2 or b) $S$ has no genus 2 fibration and $S / i$ is birational to a $K 3$ surface. For case a) a list of possibilities and examples are given. An example for case b) with $K^{2} = 6$ is also constructed.

Beyond two criteria for supersingularity: coefficients of division polynomials

Christophe Debry (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $f (x)$ be a cubic, monic and separable polynomial over a field of characteristic $p \geq 3$ and let $E$ be the elliptic curve given by $y^{2} = f (x)$ . In this paper we prove that the coefficient at $x^{\frac{1}{2} p (p - 1)}$ in the $p$ –th division polynomial of $E$ equals the coefficient at $x^{p - 1}$ in $f {(x)}^{\frac{1}{2} (p - 1)}$ . For elliptic curves over a finite field of characteristic $p$ , the first coefficient is zero if and only if $E$ is supersingular, which by a classical criterion of Deuring (1941) is also equivalent to the vanishing of the second coefficient. So the...

Varieties of minimal rational tangents of codimension 1

Jun-Muk Hwang (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $X$ be a uniruled projective manifold and let $x$ be a general point. The main result of [2] says that if the $(- K_{X})$ -degrees (i.e., the degrees with respect to the anti-canonical bundle of $X$ ) of all rational curves through $x$ are at least $dim X + 1$ , then $X$ is a projective space. In this paper, we study the structure of $X$ when the $(- K_{X})$ -degrees of all rational curves through $x$ are at least $dim X$ . Our study uses the projective variety $𝒞_{x} \subset ℙ T_{x} (X)$ , called the VMRT at $x$ , defined as the union of tangent directions to the...

Invariance of the parity conjecture for $p$ -Selmer groups of elliptic curves in a $D_{2 p^{n}}$ -extension

Thomas de La Rochefoucauld (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We show a $p$ -parity result in a $D_{2 p^{n}}$ -extension of number fields $L / K$ ( $p \geq 5$ ) for the twist $1 \oplus η \oplus τ$ : $W (E / K, 1 \oplus η \oplus τ) = {(- 1)}^{〈1 \oplus η \oplus τ, X_{p} (E / L)〉}$ , where $E$ is an elliptic curve over $K$ , $η$ and $τ$ are respectively the quadratic character and an irreductible representation of degree $2$ of $Gal (L / K) = D_{2 p^{n}}$ , and $X_{p} (E / L)$ is the $p$ -Selmer group. The main novelty is that we use a congruence result between $ε_{0}$ -factors (due to Deligne) for the determination of local root numbers in bad cases (places of additive reduction above 2 and 3). We also give applications to the $p$ -parity conjecture...
