Improvement of Grauert-Riemenschneider's theorem for a normal surface

Jean Giraud (1982)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let X ˜ be a desingularization of a normal surface X . The group Pic ( X ˜ ) is provided with an order relation L _ 0 , defined by L . V 0 for any effective exceptional divisor V . Comparing to the usual order relation we define the ceiling of L which is an exceptional divisor. This notion allows us to improve the usual vanishing theorem and we deduce from it a numerical criterion for rationality and a genus formula for a curve on a normal surface; the difficulty lies in the case of a Weil divisor which is not a Cartier...

Linear bounds for levels of stable rationality

Fedor Bogomolov, Christian Böhning, Hans-Christian Graf von Bothmer (2012)

Open Mathematics

Let G be one of the groups SLn(ℂ), Sp2n (ℂ), SOm(ℂ), Om(ℂ), or G 2. For a generically free G-representation V, we say that N is a level of stable rationality for V/G if V/G × ℙN is rational. In this paper we improve known bounds for the levels of stable rationality for the quotients V/G. In particular, their growth as functions of the rank of the group is linear for G being one of the classical groups.
