Selmer groups and torsion zero cycles on the selfproduct of a semistable elliptic curve.
Let Y be a submanifold of dimension y of a polarized complex manifold (X, A) of dimension k ≥ 2, with 1 ≤ y ≤ k−1. We define and study two positivity conditions on Y in (X, A), called Seshadri A-bigness and (a stronger one) Seshadri A-ampleness. In this way we get a natural generalization of the theory initiated by Paoletti in [Paoletti R., Seshadri positive curves in a smooth projective 3-fold, Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei Cl. Sci. Fis. Mat. Natur. Rend. Lincei (9) Mat. Appl., 1996, 6(4), 259–274] (which...
For a smooth complex projective variety, the rank of the Néron-Severi group is bounded by the Hodge number . Varieties with have interesting properties, but are rather sparse, particularly in dimension . We discuss in this note a number of examples, in particular those constructed from curves with special Jacobians.
The goal of this paper is at least two-fold. First we attempt to give a survey of some recent (and developed up to the time of the Banach Center workshop Parameter Spaces, February '94) applications of the theory of symmetric polynomials and divided differences to intersection theory. Secondly, taking this opportunity, we complement the story by either presenting some new proofs of older results (and this takes place usually in the Appendices to the present paper) or providing some new results which...
