À propos de la conjecture de Manin pour les courbes elliptiques modulaires
Le théorème de Belyi affirme que sur toute courbe algébrique lisse projective et géométriquement connexe, définie sur , il existe une fonction non ramifiée en dehors de . Nous montrons que cette fonction peut être choisie sans automorphismes, c’est-à-dire telle que pour tout automorphisme non trivial de , on ait . Nous en déduisons que si est une extension finie de , toute -classe d’isomorphisme de courbes algébriques lisses projectives géométriquement connexes peut être caractérisée...
Classical Lüroth theorem states that every subfield K of K(t), where t is a transcendental element over K, such that K strictly contains K, must be K = K(h(t)), for some non constant element h(t) in K(t). Therefore, K is K-isomorphic to K(t). This result can be proved with elementary algebraic techniques, and therefore it is usually included in basic courses on field theory or algebraic curves. In this paper we study the validity of this result under weaker assumptions: namely, if K is a subfield...
We show that the natural generalization of a conjecture of Hain and Looijenga to the case of pointed curves holds for all and if and only if the tautological rings of the moduli spaces of curves with rational tails and of stable curves are Gorenstein.
Using a result of Harer, we prove certain upper bounds for the homotopical/cohomological dimension of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces of compact type, of Riemann surfaces with rational tails and of Riemann surfaces with at most k rational components. These bounds would follow from conjectures of Looijenga and Roth–Vakil.
We describe a number of classes in the Picard group of spin moduli space and determine the relations they satisfy; as an application we show that the Picard group in question contains 4-torsion elements.
