Projective invariant metrics and open convex regular cones. I

Fabio Podestà (1987)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

In this work we give a characterization of the projective invariant pseudometric $P$ , introduced by H. Wu, for a particular class of real $\mathbf{C}^{\infty}$ -manifolds; in view of this result, we study the group of projective transformations for the same class of manifolds and we determine the integrated pseudodistance $p$ of $P$ in open convex regular cones of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ , endowed with the characteristic metric.

A Note on Lax Projective Embeddings of Grassmann Spaces

Eva Ferrara Dentice (2018)

Rendiconto dell’Accademia delle Scienze Fisiche e Matematiche

Similarity:

In the paper (Ferrara Dentice et al., 2004) a complete exposition of the state of the art for lax embeddings of polar spaces of ﬁnite rank $\geq 3$ is presented. As a consequence, we have that if a Grassmann space $G$ of dimension 3 and index 1 has a lax embedding in a projective space over a skew–ﬁeld $K$ , then $G$ is the Klein quadric deﬁned over a subﬁeld of $K$ . In this paper, I examine Grassmann spaces of arbitrary dimension $d\geq 3$ and index $h\geq 1$ having a lax embedding in a projective space.

Coloring ordinals by reals

Jörg Brendle, Sakaé Fuchino (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study combinatorial principles we call the Homogeneity Principle HP(κ) and the Injectivity Principle IP(κ,λ) for regular κ > ℵ₁ and λ ≤ κ which are formulated in terms of coloring the ordinals < κ by reals. These principles are strengthenings of $C^{s} (κ)$ and $F^{s} (κ)$ of I. Juhász, L. Soukup and Z. Szentmiklóssy. Generalizing their results, we show e.g. that IP(ℵ₂,ℵ₁) (hence also IP(ℵ₂,ℵ₂) as well as HP(ℵ₂)) holds in a generic extension of a model of CH by Cohen forcing, and IP(ℵ₂,ℵ₂) (hence...

A Regular Threefold of General Type with $p_{g}=0$ and $P_{2}=6$

M. Cristina Ronconi (2009)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

The range of the bigenus $P_{2}$ is one of the unsolved problems concerning smooth complex projective regular threefolds of general type with $p_{g}=0$ : The examples in the literature have $P_{2}\leq 5$ . In the present paper we present a non-singular threefold with $p_{g}=q_{1}=q_{2}=0$ ; $P_{2}=6$ ; the bicanonical map is stably birational.

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...

Generic representations of orthogonal groups: projective functors in the category $ℱ_{q u a d}$

Christine Vespa (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We continue the study of the category of functors $ℱ_{q u a d}$ , associated to ₂-vector spaces equipped with a nondegenerate quadratic form, initiated in J. Pure Appl. Algebra 212 (2008) and Algebr. Geom. Topology 7 (2007). We define a filtration of the standard projective objects in $ℱ_{q u a d}$ ; this refines to give a decomposition into indecomposable factors of the first two standard projective objects in $ℱ_{q u a d}$ : $P_{H ₀}$ and $P_{H ₁}$ . As an application of these two decompositions, we give a complete description of the polynomial...

Finite projective planes, Fermat curves, and Gaussian periods

Koen Thas, Don Zagier (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

One of the oldest and most fundamental problems in the theory of finite projective planes is to classify those having a group which acts transitively on the incident point-line pairs (flags). The conjecture is that the only ones are the Desarguesian projective planes (over a finite field). In this paper, we show that non-Desarguesian finite flag-transitive projective planes exist if and only if certain Fermat surfaces have no nontrivial rational points, and formulate several other equivalences...

Fitting Conditions for Symmetric Algebras of Modules of Finite Projective Dimension

Cristodor Ionescu, Gaetana Restuccia, Rosanna Utano (2007)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

Let $E$ be a finitely generated $R$ -module, having finite projective dimension. We study the acyclicity of the approximation complex $\mathcal{Z}(E)$ of $E$ in terms of certain Fitting conditions $F_{k}^{(i)}$ on the Fitting ideals of the $i$ -th module of a projective resolution of $E$ . We deduce some good properties of the symmetric algebra of $E$ .

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...

The classical subspaces of the projective tensor products of $ℓ_{p}$ and C(α) spaces, α < ω₁

Elói Medina Galego, Christian Samuel (2013)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We completely determine the $ℓ_{q}$ and C(K) spaces which are isomorphic to a subspace of $ℓ_{p} \otimes ̂_{π} C (α)$ , the projective tensor product of the classical $ℓ_{p}$ space, 1 ≤ p < ∞, and the space C(α) of all scalar valued continuous functions defined on the interval of ordinal numbers [1,α], α < ω₁. In order to do this, we extend a result of A. Tong concerning diagonal block matrices representing operators from $ℓ_{p}$ to ℓ₁, 1 ≤ p < ∞. The first main theorem is an extension of a result of E. Oja and states...

Hyperideal polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space

Xiliang Bao, Francis Bonahon (2002)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

A hyperideal polyhedron is a non-compact polyhedron in the hyperbolic $3$ -space $ℍ^{3}$ which, in the projective model for $ℍ^{3} \subset {ℝℙ}^{3}$ , is just the intersection of $ℍ^{3}$ with a projective polyhedron whose vertices are all outside $ℍ^{3}$ and whose edges all meet $ℍ^{3}$ . We classify hyperideal polyhedra, up to isometries of $ℍ^{3}$ , in terms of their combinatorial type and of their dihedral angles.

Equidistribution towards the Green current for holomorphic maps

Tien-Cuong Dinh, Nessim Sibony (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $f$ be a non-invertible holomorphic endomorphism of a projective space and $f^{n}$ its iterate of order $n$ . We prove that the pull-back by $f^{n}$ of a generic (in the Zariski sense) hypersurface, properly normalized, converges to the Green current associated to $f$ when $n$ tends to infinity. We also give an analogous result for the pull-back of positive closed $(1, 1)$ -currents and a similar result for regular polynomial automorphisms of $ℂ^{k}$ .

$J$ -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,...

Complex structures on product of circle bundles over complex manifolds

Parameswaran Sankaran, Ajay Singh Thakur (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let ${\bar{L}}_{i} \to X_{i}$ be a holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold for $i = 1, 2$ . Let $S_{i}$ denote the associated principal circle-bundle with respect to some hermitian inner product on ${\bar{L}}_{i}$ . We construct complex structures on $S = S_{1} \times S_{2}$ which we refer to as scalar, diagonal, and linear types. While scalar type structures always exist, the more general diagonal but non-scalar type structures are constructed assuming that ${\bar{L}}_{i}$ are equivariant ${(ℂ^{*})}^{n_{i}}$ -bundles satisfying some additional conditions....

Explicit birational geometry of threefolds of general type, I

Jungkai A. Chen, Meng Chen (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We prove $P_{12} (V) : = dim H^{0} (V, 12 K_{V}) > 0$ and $P_{m_{0}} (V) > 1$ for some positive integer $m_{0} \leq 24$ . A direct consequence is the birationality of the pluricanonical map $ϕ_{m}$ for all $m \geq 126$ . Besides, the canonical volume $Vol (V)$ has a universal lower bound $ν (3) \geq \frac{1}{63 \cdot 126^{2}}$ .

Twisted cotangent sheaves and a Kobayashi-Ochiai theorem for foliations

Andreas Höring (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety, and let $A$ be an ample Cartier divisor on $X$ . Suppose that $X$ is not the projective space. We prove that the twisted cotangent sheaf $Ω_{X} \otimes A$ is generically nef with respect to the polarisation $A$ . As an application we prove a Kobayashi-Ochiai theorem for foliations: if $ℱ ⊊ T_{X}$ is a foliation such that $det ℱ \equiv i_{ℱ} A$ , then $i_{ℱ}$ is at most the rank of $ℱ$ .

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...
