Calculating the Mordell-Weil rank of elliptic threefolds and the cohomology of singular hypersurfaces

Klaus Hulek, Remke Kloosterman (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we give a method for calculating the rank of a general elliptic curve over the field of rational functions in two variables. We reduce this problem to calculating the cohomology of a singular hypersurface in a weighted projective 4 -space. We then give a method for calculating the cohomology of a certain class of singular hypersurfaces, extending work of Dimca for the isolated singularity case.

Cohomology of the boundary of Siegel modular varieties of degree two, with applications

J. William Hoffman, Steven H. Weintraub (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let 𝓐₂(n) = Γ₂(n)∖𝔖₂ be the quotient of Siegel's space of degree 2 by the principal congruence subgroup of level n in Sp(4,ℤ). This is the moduli space of principally polarized abelian surfaces with a level n structure. Let 𝓐₂(n)* denote the Igusa compactification of this space, and ∂𝓐₂(n)* = 𝓐₂(n)* - 𝓐₂(n) its "boundary". This is a divisor with normal crossings. The main result of this paper is the determination of H(∂𝓐₂(n)*) as a module over the finite group Γ₂(1)/Γ₂(n). As an application...

Compact Kähler manifolds with compactifiable universal cover

Benoît Claudon, Andreas Höring (2013)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

In this appendix, we observe that Iitaka’s conjecture fits in the more general context of special manifolds, in which the relevant statements follow from the particular cases of projective and simple manifolds.

Contractions of smooth varieties. II. Computations and applications

Marco Andreatta, Jarosław A. Wiśniewski (1998)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Una contrazione su una varietà proiettiva liscia X è data da una mappa φ : X Z propria, suriettiva e a fibre connesse in una varietà irriducibile normale Z . La contrazione si dice di Fano-Mori se inoltre - K X è φ -ampio. Nel lavoro, naturale seguito e completamento delle ricerche introdotte in [A-W3], si studiano diversi aspetti delle contrazioni di Fano-Mori attraverso esempi (capitolo 1) e teoremi di struttura (capitoli 3 e 4). Si discutono anche alcune applicazioni allo studio di morfismi birazionali propri...
