We give an affirmative answer to an open question posed by Demailly-Peternell-Schneider in 2001 and recently by Peternell. Let be a surjective morphism from a log canonical pair onto a -Gorenstein variety . If is nef, we show that is pseudo-effective.
It is well-known that the versal deformations of nonsimple singularities depend on moduli. The first step in deeper understanding of this phenomenon is to determine the versal discriminant, which roughly speaking is an obstacle for analytic triviality of an unfolding or deformation along the moduli. The goal of this paper is to describe the versal discriminant of and singularities basing on the fact that the deformations of these singularities may be obtained as blowing ups of certain deformations...
Given a covering family of effective 1-cycles on a complex projective variety , we find conditions allowing one to construct a geometric quotient , with regular on the whole of , such that every fiber of is an equivalence class for the equivalence relation naturally defined by . Among other results, we show that on a normal and -factorial projective variety with canonical singularities and , every covering and quasi-unsplit family of rational curves generates a geometric extremal...
To any finite covering of degree between smooth complex projective manifolds, one associates a vector bundle of rank on whose total space contains . It is known that is ample when is a projective space ([Lazarsfeld 1980]), a Grassmannian ([Manivel 1997]), or a Lagrangian Grassmannian ([Kim Maniel 1999]). We show an analogous result when is a simple abelian variety and does not factor through any nontrivial isogeny . This result is obtained by showing that is -regular in the...
