Let an elliptic fibration with general fibre . Let be the minima of the non-zero intersection numbers where runs successively through the following sets: effective divisors on , invertible sheaves spanned by global sections, ample divisors and very ample divisors. Let be the maximum of the multiplicities of the fibres of . We prove that if and only if and that if and only if .
We develop a theory of differential equations associated to families of algebraic cycles in higher Chow groups (i.e., motivic cohomology groups). This formalism is related to inhomogenous Picard–Fuchs type differential equations. For a families of K3 surfaces the corresponding non–linear ODE turns out to be similar to Chazy’s equation.
Let S be a fibred surface. We prove that the existence of morphisms from non countably many fibres to curves implies, up to base change, the existence of a rational map from S to another surface fibred over the same base reflecting the properties of the original morphisms. Under some conditions of unicity base change is not needed and one recovers exactly the initial maps.
Nous nous intéressons à la question de l’existence de familles de Hurwitz au-dessus d’un espace de modules de revêtements de la droite. On sait que de telles familles existent dans le cas où les revêtements n’ont pas d’automorphismes. Dans le cas général, il y a une obstruction cohomologique, de nature non-abélienne. Nous donnons une double description de cette obstruction : la première en termes de gerbe, l’outil le mieux adapté à des situations cohomologiques non-abéliennes et la deuxièmes en...
