Given a fibre space $X/S$ with the generic geometric fibre of Kodaira dimension $\geq 0$, we shall construct a variety $Y$ ramified over $X$ along such a horizontal hyperplane with respect to $X/S$ that Kollár and Kawamata had proved Viehweg conjecture for $Y/S$ with the generic geometric fibre of general type or of the abundant canonical invertible sheaf where Viehweg dimensions of $X/S$ and $Y/S$ are equal, respectively. We shall show that Viehweg dimension of $X/S$ is not greater than that of $Y/S$ by Mochizuki's Galois theory.
Let X be a compact Kähler manifold whose universal covering is $\mathbb C^n$. A conjecture of Iitaka claims that X is a torus, up to finite étale cover. We prove this conjecture in various cases in dimension four. We also show that in the projective case Iitaka's conjecture is a consequence of the non-vanishing conjecture.
We study the relationship between Iitaka fibrations and the conjecture on the existence of complements, assuming the good minimal model conjecture. In one direction, we show that the conjecture on the existence of complements implies the effective log Iitaka fibration conjecture. As a consequence, the effective log Iitaka fibration conjecture holds in dimension $3$. In the other direction, for any Calabi-Yau type variety $X$ such that $-K_X$ is nef, we show that $X$ has an $n$-complement for some universal constant $n$ depending only on the dimension of $X$ and two natural invariants of a gene…
We prove Iitaka's $C_{n,m}$ conjecture for $3$-folds over the algebraic closure of finite fields. Along the way we prove some results on the birational geometry of log surfaces over nonclosed fields and apply these to existence of relative good minimal models of $3$-folds.
By applying the positivity theorem of direct images and a pluricanonical version of the structure theorem on the cohomology jumping loci à la Green-Lazarsfeld-Simpson, we show that the klt Kähler version of the Iitaka conjecture $C_{n,m}$ (Ueno, 1975) for $f:X\to Y$ (surjective morphism between compact Kähler manifolds with connected general fibre) holds true when the determinant of the direct image of some power of the relative canonical bundle is big on $Y$ or when $Y$ is a complex torus. These generalize the corresponding results of Viehweg (1983) and of Cao-P\u aun (2017) respectively. We …
We prove Viehweg's hyperbolicity conjecture over compact bases and over bases with non-uniruled compactification. The most general case of the conjecture states that the the base space of a maximal variation family of smooth projective manifolds with semi-ample canonical sheaf is of log-general type.
Let $f:X\to Y$ be a fibration from a smooth projective 3-fold to a smooth projective curve, over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p >5$. We prove that if the generic fiber $X_η$ has big canonical divisor $K_{X_η}$, then $$κ(X)\geκ(Y) + κ(X_η).$$
We use the theory of Hodge modules to construct Viehweg-Zuo sheaves on the base spaces of families with maximal variation and fibers of general type, or more generally whose geometric generic fiber has a good minimal model. We deduce Viehweg's hyperbolicity conjecture in this context, namely the fact that the base spaces of such families are of log general type. This is approached as part of a general problem of identifying what spaces can support Hodge theoretic objects with certain positivity properties.
In this paper, we continue to develop the theories on functional pairs and uniform rational polytopes. We show that there is a uniform perturbation for Iitaka dimensions of pseudo-effective lc pairs of fixed dimension with DCC coefficients assuming the non-vanishing conjecture. We also show the existence of uniform rational polytopes for Iitaka dimensions of pseudo-effective lc pairs assuming the non-vanishing conjecture.
We define the Iitaka dimension of a numerical cycle class and develop its theory. We conjecture that the Iitaka dimension is integer-valued, and give some evidence in this direction. We focus on two cases of geometric interest: Schubert cycles on Grassmannians and cycles contracted by morphisms.
In this paper, we prove that for a fibration $f:X\to Z$ from a smooth projective 3-fold to a smooth projective curve, over an algebraically closed field $k$ with $\mathrm{char} k =p >5$, if the geometric generic fiber $X_{\overlineη}$ is smooth, then subadditivity of Kodaira dimensions holds, i.e. $$κ(X)\geκ(X_{\overlineη})+κ(Z).$$
Proven by A. Parshin and S. Arakelov in the early 70's, Shafaverich hyperbolicity conjecture states that a family of curves of genus $g\ge2$ parametrized by a non hyperbolic curve (\emph{i.e.} isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^1$, $\mathbb{C}$, $\mathbb{C}^*$ or an elliptic curve) has to be isotrivial : the moduli of smooth fibres are constant. In higher dimensions, Viehweg's works on moduli of canonically polarized manifolds led him to generalize this statement in the following way: if a family of canonically polarized manifolds (parametrized by a quasi-projective base) has maximal variation, the bas…
Consider a smooth projective family of canonically polarized complex manifolds over a smooth quasi-projective complex base U, and suppose the family is non-isotrivial. If Y is a smooth compactification of U, such that D := Y U is a simple normal crossing divisor, then we can consider the sheaf of differentials with logarithmic poles along D. Viehweg and Zuo have shown that for some number m>0, the m-th symmetric power of this sheaf admits many sections. More precisely, the m-th symmetric power contains an invertible sheaf whose Kodaira-Iitaka dimension is at least the variation of the family. …
We prove the following generalization of Severi's Theorem: Let $X$ be a fixed complex variety. Then there exist, up to birational equivalence, only finitely many complex varieties $Y$ of general type of dimension at most three which admit a dominant rational map $f$ from $X$ to Y$.
The purpose of this paper is to establish a subadditivity theorem of Okounkov bodies for algebraic fiber spaces. As applications, we obtain a product formula of the restricted canonical volumes for algebraic fiber spaces and a sufficient condition for an algebraic fiber space to be birationally isotrivial in terms of Okounkov bodies when a general fiber is of general type. Furthermore, we also prove the subadditivity of the numerical Iitaka dimensions for algebraic fiber spaces, and this confirms some numerical variants of the Iitaka conjecture. We hope that our results would provide a new app…
We prove the analogue of Viehweg's hyperbolicity conjecture for Whitney equisingular families of projective varieties with Gorenstein rational singularities whose geometric generic fiber has a good minimal model. Namely, for such families with maximal variation, the base spaces are of log general type. The main new ingredient is the use of intersection complexes as Hodge modules in the construction of logarithmic Higgs sheaves by Viehweg-Zuo and Popa-Schnell. This construction suggests an equisingular stratification of the moduli space of varieties of general type, with each stratum being hype…
We reduce Iitaka's subadditivity conjecture for the logarithmic Kodaira dimension to a special case of the generalized abundance conjecture by establishing an Iitaka type inequality for Nakayama's numerical Kodaira dimension. Our proof heavily depends on Nakayama's theory of $ω$-sheaves and $\widehatω$-sheaves. As an application, we prove the subadditivity of the logarithmic Kodaira dimension for affine varieties by using the minimal model program for projective klt pairs with big boundary divisor.
The proof of the celebrated Viehweg's hyperbolicity conjecture is a consequence of two remarkable results: Viehweg and Zuo's existence results for global pluri-differential forms induced by variation in a family of canonically po-larised manifolds and Campana and Pǎun's vast generalisation of Miyaoka's generic semipositivity result for non-uniruled varieties to the context of pairs. The aim of this chapter is an exposition of Campana-Pǎun's generic semipositivity theorem .
A theorem of Esnault, Srinivas and Viehweg asserts that if the Chow group of 0-cycles of a smooth complete complex variety decomposes, then the top-degree coherent cohomology group decomposes similarly. In this note, we prove that (a weak version of) the converse holds for varieties of dimension at most 5 that have finite-dimensional motive and satisfy the Lefschetz standard conjecture. The proof is based on Vial's construction of a refined Chow-Kunneth decomposition for these varieties.
For smooth families with maximal variation, whose general fibers have semi-ample canonical bundle, the generalized Viehweg hyperbolicity conjecture states that the base spaces of such families are of log general type. This deep conjecture was recently proved by Popa-Schnell using the theory of Hodge modules and a theorem by Campana-Păun. In this paper we prove that those base spaces are pseudo Kobayashi hyperbolic, as predicted by the Lang conjecture: any complex quasi-projective manifold is pseudo Kobayashi hyperbolic if it is of log general type. As a consequence, we prove the Brody hyperbol…
Let $(X,B)$ be a log canonical pair over a normal variety $Z$ with maximal Albanese dimension. If $K_X+B$ is relatively abundant over $Z$ (for example, $K_X+B$ is relatively big over $Z$), then we prove that $K_X+B$ is abundant. In particular, the subadditvity of Kodaira dimensions $κ(K_X+B) \geq κ(K_F+B_F)+ κ(Z)$ holds, where $F$ is a general fiber, $K_F+B_F= (K_X+B)|_F$, and $κ(Z)$ means the Kodaira dimension of a smooth model of $Z$. We discuss several variants of this result in Section 4. We also give a remark on the log Iitaka conjecture for log canonical pairs in Section 5.
Let $\kk$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $\KK$ a finitely generated field over $\kk$. Let $Σ$ be a central simple $\KK$-algebra, $X$ a normal projective model of $\KK$ and $Λ$ a sheaf of maximal $\Osh_X$-orders in $Σ$. There is a ramification $\QQ$-divisor $Δ$ on $X$, which is related to the canonical bimodule $ω_Λ$ by an adjunction formula. It only depends on the class of $Σ$ in the Brauer group of $\KK$. When the numerical abundance conjecture holds true, or when $Σ$ is a central simple algebra, we show that the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension (or GK dimension) of the…
