Forme normale d'une fonction sur une surface de caractéristique positive
A well known result of Miyaoka asserts that a complex projective manifold is uniruled if its cotangent bundle restricted to a general complete intersection curve is not nef. Using the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of the tangent bundle, it can moreover be shown that the choice of such a curve gives rise to a rationally connected foliation of the manifold. In this note we show that, conversely, a movable curve can be found so that the maximal rationally connected fibration of the manifold may be recovered...
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...
