Generalized Mukai conjecture for special Fano varieties

Similarity:

Let X be a Fano variety of dimension n, pseudoindex i X and Picard number ρX. A generalization of a conjecture of Mukai says that ρX(i X−1)≤n. We prove that the conjecture holds for a variety X of pseudoindex i X≥n+3/3 if X admits an unsplit covering family of rational curves; we also prove that this condition is satisfied if ρX> and either X has a fiber type extremal contraction or has not small extremal contractions. Finally we prove that the conjecture holds if X has dimension...

The modified diagonal cycle on the triple product of a pointed curve

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let X be a curve over a field k with a rational point e . We define a canonical cycle Δ e Z 2 ( X 3 ) hom . Suppose that k is a number field and that X has semi-stable reduction over the integers of k with fiber components non-singular. We construct a regular model of X 3 and show that the height pairing τ * ( Δ e ) , τ * ' ( Δ e ) is well defined where τ and τ ' are correspondences. The paper ends with a brief discussion of heights and L -functions in the case that X is a modular curve.
