We prove a version of the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality on smooth projective surfaces of general type in positive characteristic, which is stronger than the result by Langer when the ranks of vector bundles are sufficiently large. Our inequality enables us to construct Bridgeland stability conditions with full support property on all smooth projective surfaces in positive characteristic.
We give a counterexample to the generalized Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for threefolds conjectured by Bayer, Macrì and Toda using the blow up of a point over three dimensional projective space.
We investigate the stronger form of the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality on smooth hypersurfaces in the projective space of any degree and dimension. The main technical tool is the theory of tilt-stability conditions in the derived category.
The conjectural Bogomolov-Gieseker (BG) type inequality for tilt semistable objects on projective 3-folds was proposed by Bayer, Macri and the author. In this note, we prove our conjecture for slope stable sheaves with the smallest first Chern class on certain Calabi-Yau 3-folds, e.g. quintic 3-folds.
We prove a generalized Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality as conjectured by Bayer, Macrì and Toda for the smooth quadric threefold. This implies the existence of a family of Bridgeland stability conditions.
A generalized Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for tilt-stable complexes on a smooth projective threefold was conjectured by Bayer, Toda, and the author. We show that such inequality holds true in general, if it holds true when the polarization is sufficiently small. As an application, we prove it for the three-dimensional projective space.
We modify the conjectural Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality introduced by Bayer, Macri and Toda to construct a family of geometric Bridgeland stability conditions on smooth projective 3-folds. We give an equivalent conjecture which needs to check these inequalities for a small class of tilt stable objects. We extend some of the techniques in Li's work for Fano 3-folds of Picard rank one to establish our modified Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality conjecture for general Fano 3-folds.
We generalize the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for semistable coherent sheaves on smooth projective surfaces to smooth Deligne-Mumford surfaces. We work over positive characteristic $p>0$ and generalize Langer's method to smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks. As applications we obtain the Bogomolov inequality for semistable coherent sheaves on a Deligne-Mumford surface in characteristic zero, and the Bogomolov inequality for semistable sheaves on a root stack over a smooth surface which is equivalent to the Bogomolov inequality for the rational parabolic sheaves on a smooth surface $S$. In a joint a…
We construct new t-structures on the derived category of coherent sheaves on smooth projective threefolds. We conjecture that they give Bridgeland stability conditions near the large volume limit. We show that this conjecture is equivalent to a Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for the third Chern character of certain stable complexes. We also conjecture a stronger inequality, and prove it in the case of projective space, and for various examples. Finally, we prove a version of the classical Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality, not involving the third Chern character, for stable complexes.
We develop a framework to modify the Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality conjecture introduced by Bayer-Macri-Toda, in order to construct a family of geometric Bridgeland stability conditions on any smooth projective 3-fold. We show that it is enough to check these modified inequalities on a small class of tilt stable objects. We extend some of the techniques in the works by Li and Bernardara-Macri-Schmidt-Zhao to formulate a strong form of Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for tilt stable objects on Fano 3-folds. Consequently, we establish our modified Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality conjecture…
We strengthen a conjecture by the author. This conjecture is a Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality involving the third Chern character of mixed tilt-stable complexes on fibred threefolds. We extend it from complexes of mixed tilt-slope zero to arbitrary relative tilt-slope. We show that this stronger conjecture implies the support property of Bridgeland stability conditions, and the existence of explicit stability conditions. We prove our conjecture for ruled threefolds, hence improving a previous result by the author.
We investigate the tilt-stability of stable sheaves on projective varieties with respect to certain tilt-stability conditions depends on two parameters constructed by Bridgeland. For a stable sheaf, we give effective bounds of these parameters such that the stable sheaf is tilt-stable. These allow us to prove new vanishing theorems for stable sheaves and an effective Serre vanishing theorem for torsion free sheaves. Using these results, we also prove Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequalities for the third Chern character of a stable sheaf on $\mathbb{P}^3$.
We prove a Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for the third Chern characters of stable sheaves on Calabi-Yau 3-folds and a large class of Fano 3-folds with given rank and first and second Chern classes. The proof uses the spreading-out technique, vanishings from the tilt-stability conditions, and Langer's estimation theorem of the global sections of torsion free sheaves. In particular, the result implies that the conjectural sufficient conditions on the Chern numbers for the existence of stable sheaves on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold by Douglas-Reinbacher-Yau needs to be modified.
We propose a conjectural stronger version of Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for stable sheaves on quintic 3-folds. Our conjecture is derived from an attempt to construct a Bridgeland stability condition on graded matrix factorizations, which should correspond to the Gepner point via mirror symmetry and Orlov equivalence. We prove our conjecture in the rank two case.
Let K be an algebraic number field, O_K the ring of integers of K, and f : X --> Spec(O_K) an arithmetic surface. Let (E, h) be a rank r Hermitian vector bundle on X such that $E$ is semistable on the geometric generic fiber of f. In this paper, we will prove an arithmetic analogy of Bogomolov-Gieseker's inequality: c_2(E, h) - (r-1)/(2r) c_1(E, h)^2 >= 0.
We study a conjectural relationship among Donaldson-Thomas type invariants on Calabi-Yau 3-folds counting torsion sheaves supported on ample divisors, ideal sheaves of curves and Pandharipande-Thomas's stable pairs. The conjecture is a mathematical formulation of Denef-Moore's formula derived in the study of Ooguri-Strominger-Vafa's conjecture relating black hole entropy and topological string. The main result of this paper is to prove our conjecture assuming a conjectural Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality proposed by Bayer, Macri and the author.
We study the structure of a log smooth pair when the equality holds in the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for the logarithmic tangent bundle and this bundle is semistable with respect to some ample divisor. We also study the case of the canonical extension sheaf.
Let f : X --> Spec(Z) be an arithmetic variety of dimension d >= 2 and (H, k) an arithmetically ample Hermitian line bundle on X. Let (E, h) be a rank r vector bundle on X. In this paper, we will prove that if E is semistable with respect to H on each connected component of the infinite fiber of X, then { c_2(E, h) - (r-1)/(2r) c_1(E, h)^2 } c_1(H, k)^{d-2} >= 0. Moreover, if the equality of the above inequality holds, then E is projectively flat and h is a weakly Einstein-Hermitian metric.
We give a conjectural construction of Bridgeland stability conditions on the derived category of fibred threefolds. The construction depends on a conjectural Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for certain stable complexes. It can be considered as a relative version of the construction of Bayer, Macrì and Toda. We prove the conjectural Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality in the case of relative projective planes over curves. This gives the the existence of Bridgeland stability conditions on such threefolds.
Let (X,H) be a polarized, smooth, complex projective surface, and let v be a Chern character on X with positive rank and sufficiently large discriminant. In this paper, we compute the Gieseker wall for v in a slice of the stability manifold of X. We construct explicit curves parameterizing non-isomorphic Gieseker stable sheaves that become S-equivalent along the wall. As a corollary, we conclude that if there are no strictly semistable sheaves of character v, the Bayer-Macri divisor associated to the wall is a boundary nef divisor on the moduli space of sheaves M_H(v). We recover previous resu…
We prove Bogomolov's inequality for semistable sheaves on product type varieties in arbitrary characteristic. This gives the first examples of varieties with positive Kodaira dimension in positive characteristic on which Bogomolov's inequality holds for semistable sheaves of any rank. The key ingredient in the proof is a high rank generalization of the slope inequality established by Xiao and Cornalba-Harris. This Bogomolov's inequality is applied to study the positivity of linear systems and semistable sheaves and construct Bridgeland stability conditions on product type surfaces in positive …
We prove the Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality conjectured by Bayer, Macri and Toda for some products of three curves. This gives the first examples of Bridgeland stability conditions on some threefolds of general type. The key ingredients are the spreading out technique, Frobenius morphism and Bogomolov's inequality for product type varieties in positive characteristic, proved by the author recently.
In this paper, we prove the Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality conjecture for threefolds with nef tangent bundles. As a corollary, there exist Bridgeland stability conditions on these threefolds.
A. Moriwaki proved the following arithmetic analogue of the Bogomolov unstability theorem. If a torsion-free hermitian coherent sheaf on an arithmetic surface has negative discriminant then it admits an arithmetically destabilising subsheaf. In the geometric situation it is known that such a subsheaf can be found subject to an additional numerical constraint and here we prove the arithmetic analogue. We then apply this result to slightly simplify a part of C. Soulé's proof of a vanishing theorem on arithmetic surfaces.
The Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau inequality asserts that the Chern numbers of a surface X of general type in characteristic 0 satisfy the inequality c_1^2 <= 3c_2, a consequence of which is (K_X^2)/chi(O_X) <= 9. This inequality fails in characteristic p, and here we produce infinite families of counterexamples for large p. Our method parallels a construction of Hirzebruch, and relies on a construction of abelian covers due to Catanese and Pardini.
We prove the conjectural Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for tilt slope stable objects on each Fano threefold X of Picard number one. Based on the previous works on Bridgeland stability conditions, this induces an open subset of geometric stability conditions on D^b(X). We also get a new stronger bound for the Chern characters of slope semistable sheaves on X.
We prove the Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality conjectured by Bayer, Macri and Toda for threefolds with semistable tangent bundles and vanishing Chern classes in any characteristic, which was originally proved by Bayer, Macri and Stellari in characteristic zero. This gives the existence of Bridgeland stability conditions on such threefolds. As applications, we obtain Reider type theorem and confirm Fujita's conjecture for such threefolds in any characteristic.
In this note, we prove the Bogomolov's inequality over a reduced, compact, irreducible, Kähler complex space that is smooth in codimension 2. The proof is obtained by a reduction to the smooth case, using Hironaka's resolution of singularities.
A generalized Kummer surface $X=Km(T,G)$ is the resolution of a quotient of a torus $T$ by a finite group of symplectic automorphisms $G$. We complete the classification of generalized Kummer surfaces by studying the two last groups which have not been yet studied. For these surfaces, we compute the associated Kummer lattice $K_{G}$, which is the minimal primitive sub-lattice containing the exceptional curves of the resolution $X\to T/G$. We then prove that a K3 surface is a generalised Kummer surface of type $Km(T,G)$ if and only if its Néron-Severi group contains $K_{G}$. For smooth-orbifold…
Using gauge theory for Spin(7)-manifolds of dimension 8, we develop a procedure, called Spin-rotation, which transforms a (stable) holomorphic structure on a vector bundle over a complex torus of dimension 4 into a new holomorphic structure over a different complex torus. We show non-trivial examples of this procedure by rotating a decomposable Weil abelian variety into a non-decomposable one. As a byproduct, we obtain a Bogomolov type inequality, which gives restrictions for the existence of stable bundles on an abelian variety of dimension 4, and show examples in which this is stronger than …
The aim of this paper is to consider a possible extension of the Bogomolov--Miyaoka--Yau inequality to differentiable orbifolds. The conjectured extension is related to the Montgomery--Yang problem about circle actions on the 5--sphere and also to the H--cobordism of Seifert fibered 3--manifolds. Related conjectures on algebraic surfaces with quotient singularities which have the same rational homology as the projective plane are also considered. Finally we give such examples which are birational to the projective plane yet have ample canonical class.
We study the Clifford type inequality for a particular type of curves $C_{2,2,5}$, which are contained in smooth quintic threefolds. This allows us to prove some stronger Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequalities for Chern characters of stable sheaves and tilt-stable objects on smooth quintic threefolds. Employing the previous framework by Bayer, Bertram, Macrì, Stellari and Toda, we construct an open subset of stability conditions on every smooth quintic threefold in $\mathbf{P}^4_{\mathbb C}$.
Consider a smooth projective 3-fold $X$ satisfying the Bogomolov-Gieseker conjecture of Bayer-Macrì-Toda (such as $\mathbb P^3$, the quintic threefold or an abelian threefold). Let $L$ be a line bundle supported on a very positive surface in $X$. If $c_1(L)$ is a primitive cohomology class then we show it has very negative square.
We construct Bridgeland stability conditions on the derived category of smooth quasi-projective Deligne-Mumford surfaces whose coarse moduli spaces have ADE singularities. This unifies the construction for smooth surfaces and Bridgeland's work on Kleinian singularities. The construction hinges on an orbifold version of the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for slope semistable sheaves on the stack, and makes use of the Toën-Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch theorem.
We classify all minimal models X of dimension n, Kodaira dimension n-1 and with vanishing Chern number $c_1^{n-2}c_2(X)=0$. This solves a problem of Kollár. Completing previous work of Kollár and Grassi, we also show that there is a universal constant $ε>0$ such that any minimal threefold satisfies either $c_1c_2=0$ or $-c_1c_2>ε$. This settles completely a conjecture of Kollár.
We show that the moduli stacks of Bridgeland semistable objects on smooth projective 3-folds are proper algebraic stacks of finite type, if they satisfy the Bogomolov-Gieseker (BG for short) inequality conjecture proposed by Bayer, Macrì and the second author. The key ingredients are the equivalent form of the BG inequality conjecture and its generalization to arbitrary very weak stability conditions. This result is applied to define Donaldson-Thomas invariants counting Bridgeland semistable objects on smooth projective Calabi-Yau 3-folds satisfying the BG inequality conjecture, for example on…
We introduce orbifold Euler numbers for normal surfaces with Q-divisors. These numbers behave multiplicatively under finite maps and in the log canonical case we prove that they satisfy the Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau type inequality. As a corollary we prove effective versions of Bogomolov's result on boundedness of rational curves in some surfaces of general type. Finally, we give some applications to singularities of plane curves.
In this paper, we prove a Clifford type inequality for the curve $X_{2,2,2,4}$, which is the intersection of a quartic and three general quadratics in $\mathbb{P}^5$. We thus prove a stronger Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for characters of stable vector bundles and stable objects on $X_{2,4}$. Applying the scheme proposed by Bayer, Bertram, Macrì, Stellari and Toda, we can construct an open subset of Bridgeland stability conditions on $X_{2,4}$.
Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface on a smooth threefold $X$ such that $X$ has Picard rank 1 and NS$(S)$ is generated by the restriction of divisors from X. We show that if $X$ satisfies the Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for tilt semistable objects conjectured by Bayer-Macrì-Stellari, then the minimum degree of a dominant rational map $S\dashrightarrow\mathbb{P}^2$ is either relatively large or determined by a net of curves of low degree on $S$. As one application, we prove that the complete intersection of three very general quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^5$ has degree of irrationality 4.
Let f : X --> Y be a projective morphism of smooth algebraic varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero with dim f = 1. Let E be a vector bundle of rank r on X. In this paper, we would like to show that if X_y is smooth and E_y is semistable for some point y of Y, then f_* (2r c_2(E) - (r-1) c_1(E)^2) is weakly positive at y. We apply this result to obtain the following description of the cone of weakly positive $\QQ$-Cartier divisors on the moduli space of stable curves. Let M_g (resp. M_g^0) be the moduli space of stable (resp. smooth) curves of genus g >= 2. Let h b…
We establish the correspondence between tame harmonic bundles and $μ_L$-stable parabolic Higgs bundles with trivial characteristic numbers. We also show the Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for $μ_L$-stable parabolic Higgs bundles. Then we show that any local system on a smooth quasi projective variety can be deformed to a variation of polarized Hodge structure. As a consequence, we can conclude that some kind of discrete groups cannot be a split quotient of the fundamental group of a smooth quasi projective variety.
We prove some positivity results on the coefficients in the complexified Hilbert polynomial of a semi-stable object. After applying these results on the classical slope stability conditions, we get sequences of quadratic inequalities for semi-stable objects on product varieties. The leading quadratic inequality can be viewed as a weak version of Bogomolov's inequality holding in arbitrary characteristics.
In this paper, we will consider a generalization of Bogomolov's inequality and Cornalba-Harris-Bost's inequality to semistable families of arithmetic varieties under the idea that geometric semistability implies a certain kind of arithmetic positivity. The first one is an arithmetic analogue of the relative Bogomolov's inequality proved by the second author. We also establish the arithmetic Riemann-Roch formulae for stable curves over regular arithmetic varieties and generically finite morphisms of arithmetic varieties.
The aim of this note is to construct sequences of vector bundles with unbounded rank and discriminant on an arbitrary algebraic surface. This problem, on principally polarized abelian varieties with cyclic Neron-Severi group generated by the polarization, was considered by Nakashima in connection with the Douglas-Reinbacher-Yau conjecture on the Strong Bogomolov Inequality. In particular we show that on any surface, the Strong Bogomolov Inequality $SBI_l$ is false for all $l>4$.
Using Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau inequality and a Milnor number bound we prove that any algebraic annulus $\mathbb{C}^*$ in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with no self-intersections can have at most three cuspidal singularities.
Using Langer's variation on the Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau inequality \cite[Theorem 0.1]{Langer} we provide some Hirzebruch-type inequalities for curve arrangements in the complex projective plane.
