Generalized Mukai conjecture for special Fano varieties

Marco Andreatta, Elena Chierici, Gianluca Occhetta (2004)

Open Mathematics

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 five.

Geography of log models: theory and applications

Vyacheslav Shokurov, Sung Choi (2011)

Open Mathematics

This is an introduction to geography of log models with applications to positive cones of Fano type (FT) varieties and to geometry of minimal models and Mori fibrations.

Geometric stability of the cotangent bundle and the universal cover of a projective manifold

Frédéric Campana, Thomas Peternell (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We first prove a strengthening of Miyaoka’s generic semi-positivity theorem: the quotients of the tensor powers of the cotangent bundle of a non-uniruled complex projective manifold X have a pseudo-effective (instead of generically nef) determinant. A first consequence is that X is of general type if its cotangent bundle contains a subsheaf with ‘big’ determinant. Among other applications, we deduce that if the universal cover of X is not covered by compact positive-dimensional analytic subsets,...

Global minimal models for endomorphisms of projective space

Clayton Petsche, Brian Stout (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We prove the existence of global minimal models for endomorphisms φ : N N of projective space defined over the field of fractions of a principal ideal domain.

L 2 extension of adjoint line bundle sections

Dano Kim (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove an extension theorem of Ohsawa-Takegoshi type for line bundle sections on a subvariety of general codimension in a normal projective variety. Our method of proof gives conditions to be satisfied for such extension in a general setting, while such conditions are satisfied when the subvariety is given by an appropriate multiplier ideal sheaf.

Lagrangian fibrations on hyperkähler manifolds – On a question of Beauville

Daniel Greb, Christian Lehn, Sönke Rollenske (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let  X be a compact hyperkähler manifold containing a complex torus L as a Lagrangian subvariety. Beauville posed the question whether X admits a Lagrangian fibration with fibre L . We show that this is indeed the case if X is not projective. If X is projective we find an almost holomorphic Lagrangian fibration with fibre L under additional assumptions on the pair ( X , L ) , which can be formulated in topological or deformation-theoretic terms. Moreover, we show that for any such almost holomorphic Lagrangian...

Limits of log canonical thresholds

Tommaso de Fernex, Mircea Mustață (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let 𝒯 n denote the set of log canonical thresholds of pairs ( X , Y ) , with X a nonsingular variety of dimension n , and Y a nonempty closed subscheme of X . Using non-standard methods, we show that every limit of a decreasing sequence in 𝒯 n lies in 𝒯 n - 1 , proving in this setting a conjecture of Kollár. We also show that 𝒯 n is closed in 𝐑 ; in particular, every limit of log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties of fixed dimension is a rational number. As a consequence of this property, we see that in order to check...
