The KSBA compactification for the moduli space of degree two K 3 pairs

Radu Laza (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Inspired by the ideas of the minimal model program, Shepherd-Barron, Kollár, and Alexeev have constructed a geometric compactification for the moduli space of surfaces of log general type. In this paper, we discuss one of the simplest examples that fits into this framework: the case of pairs ( X , H ) consisting of a degree two K 3 surface X and an ample divisor H . Specifically, we construct and describe explicitly a geometric compactification P ¯ 2 for the moduli of degree two K 3 pairs. This compactification...

Even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces

Fabrizio Catanese, Fabio Tonoli (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We determine the possible even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces in 3 , showing in particular that their cardinalities are exactly the numbers in the set { 24 , 32 , 40 , 56 } . We also show that all the possible cases admit an explicit description. The methods that we use are an interplay of coding theory and projective geometry on one hand, and of homological and computer algebra on the other. We give a detailed geometric construction for the new case of an even set of 56 nodes, but the ultimate verification...

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.

Counting lines on surfaces

Samuel Boissière, Alessandra Sarti (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

This paper deals with surfaces with many lines. It is well-known that a cubic contains 27 of them and that the maximal number for a quartic is 64 . In higher degree the question remains open. Here we study classical and new constructions of surfaces with high number of lines. We obtain a symmetric octic with 352 lines, and give examples of surfaces of degree d containing a sequence of d ( d - 2 ) + 4 skew lines.

Effective bounds for Faltings’s delta function

Jay Jorgenson, Jürg Kramer (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

In his seminal paper on arithmetic surfaces Faltings introduced a new invariant associated to compact Riemann surfaces X , nowadays called Faltings’s delta function and here denoted by δ Fal ( X ) . For a given compact Riemann surface X of genus g X = g , the invariant δ Fal ( X ) is roughly given as minus the logarithm of the distance with respect to the Weil-Petersson metric of the point in the moduli space g of genus g curves determined by X to its boundary g . In this paper we begin by revisiting a formula derived...

Real singular Del Pezzo surfaces and 3-folds fibred by rational curves, II

Fabrizio Catanese, Frédéric Mangolte (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let W X be a real smooth projective 3-fold fibred by rational curves such that W ( ) is orientable. J. Kollár proved that a connected component N of W ( ) is essentially either Seifert fibred or a connected sum of lens spaces. Answering three questions of Kollár, we give sharp estimates on the number and the multiplicities of the Seifert fibres (resp. the number and the torsions of the lens spaces) when X is a geometrically rational surface. When N is Seifert fibred over a base orbifold F , our...

Explicit Teichmüller curves with complementary series

Carlos Matheus, Gabriela Weitze-Schmithüsen (2013)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We construct an explicit family of arithmetic Teichmüller curves 𝒞 2 k , k , supporting SL ( 2 , ) -invariant probabilities μ 2 k such that the associated SL ( 2 , ) -representation on  L 2 ( 𝒞 2 k , μ 2 k ) has complementary series for every k 3 . Actually, the size of the spectral gap along this family goes to zero. In particular, the Teichmüller geodesic flow restricted to these explicit arithmetic Teichmüller curves 𝒞 2 k has arbitrarily slow rate of exponential mixing.

Natural pseudodistances between closed surfaces

Pietro Donatini, Patrizio Frosini (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let us consider two closed surfaces , 𝒩 of class C 1 and two functions ϕ : , ψ : 𝒩 of class C 1 , called measuring functions. The natural pseudodistance d between the pairs ( , ) , ( 𝒩 , ψ ) is defined as the infimum of Θ ( f ) : = max P | ϕ ( P ) ψ ( f ( P ) ) | as f varies in the set of all homeomorphisms from onto 𝒩 . In this paper we prove that the natural pseudodistance equals either | c 1 c 2 | , 1 2 | c 1 c 2 | , or 1 3 | c 1 c 2 | , where c 1 and c 2 are two suitable critical values of the measuring functions. This shows that a previous relation between the natural pseudodistance and...

Noncommutative del Pezzo surfaces and Calabi-Yau algebras

Pavel Etingof, Victor Ginzburg (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The hypersurface in 3 with an isolated quasi-homogeneous elliptic singularity of type E ˜ r , r = 6 , 7 , 8 , has a natural Poisson structure. We show that the family of del Pezzo surfaces of the corresponding type E r provides a semiuniversal Poisson deformation of that Poisson structure. We also construct a deformation-quantization of the coordinate ring of such a del Pezzo surface. To this end, we first deform the polynomial algebra [ x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ] to a noncommutative algebra with generators x 1 , x 2 , x 3 and the following 3 relations...

Flexibility of surface groups in classical simple Lie groups

Inkang Kim, Pierre Pansu (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We show that a surface group of high genus contained in a classical simple Lie group can be deformed to become Zariski dense, unless the Lie group is S U ( p , q ) (resp. S O * ( 2 n ) , n odd) and the surface group is maximal in some S ( U ( p , p ) × U ( q - p ) ) S U ( p , q ) (resp. S O * ( 2 n - 2 ) × S O ( 2 ) S O * ( 2 n ) ). This is a converse, for classical groups, to a rigidity result of S. Bradlow, O. García-Prada and P. Gothen.

On the uniqueness of elliptic K3 surfaces with maximal singular fibre

Matthias Schütt, Andreas Schweizer (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We explicitly determine the elliptic K 3 surfaces with section and maximal singular fibre. If the characteristic of the ground field is different from 2 , for each of the two possible maximal fibre types, I 19 and I 14 * , the surface is unique. In characteristic 2 the maximal fibre types are I 18 and I 13 * , and there exist two (resp. one) one-parameter families of such surfaces.

Scaling limit and cube-root fluctuations in SOS surfaces above a wall

Pietro Caputo, Eyal Lubetzky, Fabio Martinelli, Allan Sly, Fabio Lucio Toninelli (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Consider the classical ( 2 + 1 ) -dimensional Solid-On-Solid model above a hard wall on an L × L box of 2 . The model describes a crystal surface by assigning a non-negative integer height η x to each site x in the box and 0 heights to its boundary. The probability of a surface configuration η is proportional to exp ( - β ( η ) ) , where β is the inverse-temperature and ( η ) sums the absolute values of height differences between neighboring sites. We give a full description of the shape of the SOS surface for low enough...

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 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 1 one can in principle determine the set of K -isomorphism classes of hyperelliptic curves over K of genus g with good reduction outside...

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 Pic 0 ( X ) | h 0 ( L η ) r + 1 } , where X is a smooth projective variety of dimension > 1 , L Pic ( X ) , and r 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...

Multiple end solutions to the Allen-Cahn equation in 2

Michał Kowalczyk, Yong Liu, Frank Pacard (2013-2014)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

Similarity:

An entire solution of the Allen-Cahn equation Δ u = f ( u ) , where f is an odd function and has exactly three zeros at ± 1 and 0 , e.g. f ( u ) = u ( u 2 - 1 ) , is called a 2 k end solution if its nodal set is asymptotic to 2 k half lines, and if along each of these half lines the function u looks (up to a multiplication by - 1 ) like the one dimensional, odd, heteroclinic solution H , of H ' ' = f ( H ) . In this paper we present some recent advances in the theory of the multiple end solutions. We begin with the description of the moduli space...

On the projective genus of surfaces

Pietro Sabatino (2006)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

Let X N be a smooth irreducible non degenerate surface over the complex numbers, N 4 . We define the projective genus of X , denoted by P G ( X ) , as the geometric genus of the singular curve of the projection of X from a general linear subspace of codimension four. Denote by g ( X ) the sectional genus of X . In this paper we conjecture that the only surfaces for which P G ( X ) = g ( X ) - 1 are the del Pezzo surface in 4 , in 5 and a conic bundle of degree 5 in 4 . We prove that for N 5 if P G ( X ) = g ( X ) - 1 + λ , λ a non negative integer, then g ( X ) λ + 1 + α where...

Classification of rings with toroidal Jacobson graph

Krishnan Selvakumar, Manoharan Subajini (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity and J ( R ) the Jacobson radical of R . The Jacobson graph of R , denoted by 𝔍 R , is defined as the graph with vertex set R J ( R ) such that two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if 1 - x y is not a unit of R . The genus of a simple graph G is the smallest nonnegative integer n such that G can be embedded into an orientable surface S n . In this paper, we investigate the genus number of the compact Riemann surface in which 𝔍 R can be embedded and...

General position properties in fiberwise geometric topology

Taras Banakh, Vesko Valov

Similarity:

General position properties play a crucial role in geometric and infinite-dimensional topologies. Often such properties provide convenient tools for establishing various universality results. One of well-known general position properties is DDⁿ, the property of disjoint n-cells. Each Polish L C n - 1 -space X possessing DDⁿ contains a topological copy of each n-dimensional compact metric space. This fact implies, in particular, the classical Lefschetz-Menger-Nöbeling-Pontryagin-Tolstova embedding...

Chen–Ruan Cohomology of 1 , n and ¯ 1 , n

Nicola Pagani (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this work we compute the Chen–Ruan cohomology of the moduli spaces of smooth and stable n -pointed curves of genus 1 . In the first part of the paper we study and describe stack theoretically the twisted sectors of 1 , n and ¯ 1 , n . In the second part, we study the orbifold intersection theory of ¯ 1 , n . We suggest a definition for an orbifold tautological ring in genus 1 , which is a subring of both the Chen–Ruan cohomology and of the stringy Chow ring.
