Arithmetic of 0-cycles on varieties defined over number fields

Yongqi Liang (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let X be a rationally connected algebraic variety, defined over a number field k . We find a relation between the arithmetic of rational points on  X and the arithmetic of zero-cycles. More precisely, we consider the following statements: (1) the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to weak approximation for  K -rational points on  X K for all finite extensions K / k ; (2) the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to weak approximation in some sense that we define for zero-cycles of degree...

Arithmetically Gorenstein curves on arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay surfaces.

Alberto Dolcetti (2002)

Collectanea Mathematica

Let Sigma C PN be a smooth connected arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay surface. Then there are at most finitely many complete linear systems on Sigma, not of the type |kH - K| (H hyperplane section and K canonical divisor on Sigma), containing arithmetically Gorenstein curves.

Around rationality of cycles

Raphaël Fino (2013)

Open Mathematics

We prove certain results comparing rationality of algebraic cycles over the function field of a quadric and over the base field. These results have already been obtained by Alexander Vishik in the case of characteristic 0, which allowed him to work with algebraic cobordism theory. Our proofs use the modulo 2 Steenrod operations in the Chow theory and work in any characteristic ≠ 2.

Asymptotic behaviour of numerical invariants of algebraic varieties

F. L. Zak (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We show that if the degree of a nonsingular projective variety is high enough, maximization of any of the most important numerical invariants, such as class, Betti number, and any of the Chern or middle Hodge numbers, leads to the same class of extremal varieties. Moreover, asymptotically (say, for varieties whose total Betti number is big enough) the ratio of any two of these invariants tends to a well-defined constant.

Asymptotic cohomology vanishing and a converse to the Andreotti-Grauert theorem on surfaces

Shin-ichi Matsumura (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper, we study relations between positivity of the curvature and the asymptotic behavior of the higher cohomology group for tensor powers of a holomorphic line bundle. The Andreotti-Grauert vanishing theorem asserts that partial positivity of the curvature implies asymptotic vanishing of certain higher cohomology groups. We investigate the converse implication of this theorem under various situations. For example, we consider the case where a line bundle is semi-ample or big. Moreover,...

Asymptotic invariants of base loci

Lawrence Ein, Robert Lazarsfeld, Mircea Mustaţă, Michael Nakamaye, Mihnea Popa (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The purpose of this paper is to define and study systematically some asymptotic invariants associated to base loci of line bundles on smooth projective varieties. The functional behavior of these invariants is related to the set-theoretic behavior of base loci.

Base points of polar curves

Eduardo Casas-Alvero (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

The base points of the system of polar curves of an irreducible algebroid plane curve with general moduli are determined. As consequences a lower bound for the Tjurina number and many continuous analytic invariants of the curve are found.

Bases of homology spaces of the Hilbert scheme of points in an algebraic surface.

C. Hermoso, I. Sols (1996)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We find two basis of the spaces of rational homology of the Hilbert scheme of points in an algebraic surface, by exhibiting two candidates having as cardinalities the known Betti numbers of this scheme and showing that both intersect in a matrix of nonzero determinant.
