On connected divisors.
If a smooth projective variety admits a non-degenerate holomorphic map from the complex plane , then for any finite dimensional linear representation of the fundamental group of the image of this representation is almost abelian. This supports a conjecture proposed by F. Campana, published in this journal in 2004.
We introduce and study the k-jet ampleness and the k-jet spannedness for a vector bundle, E, on a projective manifold. We obtain different characterizations of projective space in terms of such positivity properties for E. We compare the 1-jet ampleness with different notions of very ampleness in the literature.
The structure of the group of a surface with prescribed singularities is investigated.
We give a characterization of the irreducible components of a Weierstrass-type (W-type) analytic (resp. algebraic, Nash) variety in terms of the orbits of a Galois group associated in a natural way to this variety. Since every irreducible variety of pure dimension is (locally) a component of a W-type variety, this description may be applied to any such variety.
