备注：
This is the final version to appear in MMJ. Some mistakes have been corrected. In section 3 we removed a previously claimed theorem, whose proof was incorrect. In section 4 we now consider only the families of pseudo-ample lattice polarized K3 surfaces. Finally in section 5 we fixed the definition of the Hodge group. Also many clarifying comments we added
Let X be a smooth complex projective variety. The group of autoequivalences of the derived category of X acts naturally on its singular cohomology H(X, Q) and we denote by Geq(X) the Zariski closure of its image in Gl(H(X, Q)). We study the relation of the Lie algebra LieGeq(X) and the Neron-Severi Lie algebra gNS(X) in case X has trivial canonical line bundle. At the same time for mirror symmetric families of (weakly) Calabi-Yau varieties we consider a conjecture of Kontsevich on the relation between the monodromy of one family and the group Geq(X) for a very general member X of the other family.
For a binary quartic form $ϕ$ without multiple factors, we classify the quartic K3 surfaces $ϕ(x,y)=ϕ(z,t)$ whose Neron-Severi group is (rationally) generated by lines. For generic binary forms $ϕ$, $ψ$ of prime degree without multiple factors, we prove that the Neron-Severi group of the surface $ϕ(x,y)=ψ(z,t)$ is rationally generated by lines.
Let $Z$ be a closed subscheme of a smooth complex projective complete intersection variety $Y\subseteq \Ps^N$, with $dim Y=2r+1\geq 3$. We describe the Néron-Severi group $NS_r(X)$ of a general smooth hypersurface $X\subset Y$ of sufficiently large degree containing $Z$.
In this paper we extend the well known theorem of Angelo Lopez concerning the Picard group of the general space projective surface containing a given smooth projective curve, to the intermediate Néron-Severi group of a general hypersurface in any smooth projective variety.
P. Stiller computed the Picard numbers of several families of elliptic surfaces, the rank of the Néron-Severi groups of these surfaces. However he did not give the generators of these groups. In this paper we give $\mathbb Q$-bases of these groups explicitly. If these surfaces are rational, then we also show that they are $\mathbb Z$-bases.
We prove a Lefschetz (1,1)-Theorem for proper seminormal varieties over the complex numbers. The proof is a non-trivial geometric argument applied to the isogeny class of the Lefschetz 1-motive associated to the mixed Hodge structure on H^2.
Let $X \hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^r$ be a smooth projective variety defined by homogeneous polynomials of degree $\leq d$. We give explicit upper bounds on the order of the torsion subgroup $(\mathrm{NS} \, X)_{\mathrm{tor}}$ of the Néron-Severi group of $X$. The bounds are derived from an explicit upper bound on the number of irreducible components of either the Hilbert scheme $\mathbf{Hilb}_Q X$ or the scheme $\mathbf{CDiv}_n X $parametrizing the effective Cartier divisors of degree $n$ on $X$. We also give an upper bound on the number of generators of $(\mathrm{NS} \, X)[\ell^\infty]$ unifo…
Let $X \hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^r$ be a smooth projective variety defined by homogeneous polynomials of degree $\leq d$ over an algebraically closed field. Let $\mathbf{Pic}\, X$ be the Picard scheme of $X$. Let $\mathbf{Pic}^0 X$ be the identity component of $\mathbf{Pic}\, X$. The Néron--Severi group scheme of $X$ is defined by $\mathbf{NS}\, X = (\mathbf{Pic}\, X)/(\mathbf{Pic}^0 X)_{\mathrm{red}}$. We give an explicit upper bound on the order of the finite group scheme $(\mathbf{NS}\, X)_{\mathrm{tor}}$ in terms of $d$ and $r$. As a corollary, we give an upper bound on the order of the f…
We work out properties of smooth projective varieties over a (not necessarily algebraically closed) field that admit collections of objects in the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves that are either full exceptional, or numerically exceptional of maximal length. Our main result gives a necessary and sufficient condition on the Neron-Severi lattice for a smooth projective surface with holomorphic Euler characteristic 1 to admit a numerically exceptional collection of maximal length, consisting of line-bundles. As a consequence we determine exactly which complex surfaces with vanishing …
Let X and Y be supersingular K3 surfaces defined over an algebraically closed field. Suppose that the sum of their Artin invariants is 11. Then there exists a certain duality between their Néron-Severi lattices. We investigate geometric consequences of this duality. As an application, we classify genus one fibrations on supersingular K3 surfaces with Artin invariant 10 in characteristic 2 and 3, and give a set of generators of the automorphism group of the nef cone of these supersingular K3 surfaces. The difference between the automorphism group of a supersingular K3 surface X and the automorp…
Assuming the Tate conjecture and the computability of étale cohomology with finite coefficients, we give an algorithm that computes the Néron-Severi group of any smooth projective geometrically integral variety, and also the rank of the group of numerical equivalence classes of codimension p cycles for any p.
We give a natural parameterization of the Néron-Severi group of a product $A = E\times E'$ of two elliptic curves in terms of quadratic forms. As an application, we determine (in the non-CM case) whether $A$ contains a smooth curve of any fixed genus. We also determine whether $A$ admits a very ample line bundle of any fixed degree. In particular, we determine which of these abelian surfaces embed in $\mathbb{P}^4$, i.e. which come from the Horrocks-Mumford bundle.
André and Maulik--Poonen proved that for any smooth proper family $X\to B$ of varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$, there is a closed fiber whose Néron-Severi group has the same rank as that of the Néron-Severi group of the geometric generic fiber. We prove the analogous statement over algebraically closed fields of characteristic $p>0$ which are not isomorphic to $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$. Furthermore, we prove that for any algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ and smooth proper family $X\to B$ of $k$-varieties, there exists a dense open subvarie…
For a K3 surface of finite height over a field of odd characteristic, there exists a smooth lifting to the ring of Witt vectors such that the reduction map from the Picard group of the generic fiber to the Picard group of the special fiber is isomorphic. In this paper, using this result, we give a criterion for a K3 surface of finite height over a field of odd characteristic to be an Enriques K3 surface or to be a K3 surface in terms of the Neron-Severi lattice. Then we show every Kummer surface has an Enriques involution. We also give a classification of K3 surfaces of Picard rank of 20 over …
We apply Tate's conjecture on algebraic cycles to study the Néron-Severi groups of varieties fibered over a curve. This is inspired by the work of Rosen and Silverman, who carry out such an analysis to derive a formula for the rank of the group of sections of an elliptic surface. For a semistable fibered surface, under Tate's conjecture we derive a formula for the rank of the group of sections of the associated Jacobian fibration. For fiber powers of a semistable elliptic fibration $E --> C$, under Tate's conjecture we give a recursive formula for the rank of the Néron-Severi groups of these f…
It is known that K3 surfaces S whose Picard number rho (= rank of the Neron-Severi group of S) is at least 19 are parametrized by modular curves X, and these modular curves X include various Shimura modular curves associated with congruence subgroups of quaternion algebras over Q. In a family of such K3 surfaces, a surface has rho=20 if and only if it corresponds to a CM point on X. We use this to compute equations for Shimura curves, natural maps between them, and CM coordinates well beyond what could be done by working with the curves directly as we did in ``Shimura Curve Computations'' (199…
For a projective variety $Z$ and for any integer $p$, define the $p$-th Néron-Severi group $NS_p(Z)$ of $Z$ as the image of the cycle map $A_{p}(Z)\to H_{2p}(Z; \mathbb{C})$. Now let $X\subset \Ps^{2m+1}$ ($m\geq 1$) be a projective variety of dimension $2m-1$, with isolated singularities, complete intersection of a smooth hypersurface of degree $k$, with a hypersurface of degree $n>max\{k, 2m+1\}$, and let $F$ be a general hypersurface of degree $n$ containing $X$. We prove that the natural map $NS_m(X)\to NS_m(F)$ is surjective, and that if $dim NS_m(F)=1$ then $dim NS_m(X)=1$. In particular…
In this paper we define certain analogues of the volume of a divisor - called asymptotic cohomological functions - and investigate their behaviour on the Neron--Severi space. We establish that asymptotic cohomological functions are invariant with respect to the numerical equivalence of divisors, and that they give rise to continuous functions on the real Neron--Severi space. To illustrate the theory, we work out these invariants for abelian varieties, smooth surfaces, and certain homogeneous spaces.
We introduce a new vector space associated to projective variety, the Weil Neron-Severi space, which we show is finitely generated and contains the usual Neron-Severi space as a subspace. We define the Nef cone of Weil divisor and the cone of Weil curves. We study these cones, and prove a new Cone theorem. We use this theorem to propose a Minimal Model Program without flips.
In the first part of this paper we give a survey of classical results on Kummer surfaces with Picard number 17 from the point of view of lattice theory. We prove ampleness properties for certain divisors on Kummer surfaces and we use them to describe projective models of Kummer surfaces of (1,d)-polarized Abelian surfaces for d=1,2,3. As a consequence we prove that in these cases the Néron--Severi group can be generated by lines. In the second part of the paper we use Kummer surfaces to obtain results on K3 surfaces with a symplectic action of the group (\Z/2\Z)^4. In particular we describe th…
We classify K3 surfaces with non-symplectic automorphism of order 16 in full generality. We show that the fixed locus contains only rational curves and points and we completely classify the seven possible configurations. If the Néron-Severi group has rank 6, there are two possibilities and if its rank is 14, there are five possibilities. In particular if the action of the automorphism is trivial on the Néron-Severi group, then we show that its rank is six.
André used Hodge-theoretic methods to show that in a smooth proper family X to B of varieties over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0, there exists a closed fiber having the same Picard number as the geometric generic fiber, even if k is countable. We give a completely different approach to André's theorem, which also proves the following refinement: in a family of varieties with good reduction at p, the locus on the base where the Picard number jumps is nowhere p-adically dense. Our proof uses the ``p-adic Lefschetz (1,1) theorem'' of Berthelot and Ogus, combined with an anal…
We determine all complex K3 surfaces with Picard rank 20 over Q. Here the Neron-Severi group has rank 20 and is generated by divisors which are defined over Q. Our proof uses modularity, the Artin-Tate conjecture and class group theory. With different techniques, the result has been established by Elkies to show that Mordell-Weil rank 18 over Q is impossible for an elliptic K3 surface. We then apply our methods to general singular K3 surfaces, i.e. with Neron-Severi group of rank 20, but not necessarily generated by divisors over Q.
Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface with Picard number 1. Let $L$ be the ample generator of the Néron-Severi group of $X$. Given an integer $r\ge 2$, we prove lower bounds for the Seshadri constant of $L$ at $r$ general points in $X$.
For a smooth complex projective variety, the rank of the Néron-Severi group is bounded by the Hodge number h^{1,1}. Varieties with rk NS = h^{1,1} have interesting properties, but are rather sparse, particularly in dimension 2. We discuss in this note a number of examples, in particular those constructed from curves with special Jacobians.
Let $Z$ be a closed subscheme of a smooth complex projective variety $Y\subseteq \Ps^N$, with $\dim\,Y=2r+1\geq 3$. We describe the intermediate Néron-Severi group (i.e. the image of the cycle map $A_r(X)\to H_{2r}(X;\mathbb{Z})$) of a general smooth hypersurface $X\subset Y$ of sufficiently large degree containing $Z$.
The Abstract for this revised version is the following: Let k be a number field, let C be a smooth, projective and geometrically integral k-curve and let p:X --> C be a Severi-Brauer k-fibration of squarefree index. Various authors have studied the cokernel of the natural map CH_{0}(X/C)-->\bigoplus_{v}CH_{0}(X_{v}/C_{v}), where CH_{0}(X/C) is the kernel of p_{*}:CH_{0}(X)-->CH_{0}(C). In this paper I obtain an exact sequence which relates the Tate-Shafarevich group of the kernel of the above map to the Tate-Shafarevich group of the Neron-Severi torus of X. I then obtain conditions under which…
We give a 1-dimensional family of classical and supersingular Enriques surfaces in characteristic 2 covered by the supersingular K3 surface with Artin invariant 1. Moreover we show that there exist 30 nonsingular rational curves and ten non-effective (-2)-divisors on these Enriques surfaces whose reflection group is of finite index in the orthogonal group of the Neron-Severi lattice modulo torsion.
Let $X$ be a general hypersurface of degree $md$ in the weighted projective space with weights $1,1,1,m$ for some for $d\geq 2$ and $m\geq 3$. We prove that the Seshadri constant of the ample generator of the Néron-Severi space at a general point $x\in X$ lies in the interval $\left[\sqrt{d}- \frac d m, \sqrt{d}\right]$ and thus approaches the possibly irrational number $\sqrt d$ as $m$ grows.
Let X be a complex algebraic K3 surface or a supersingular K3 surface in odd characteristic. We present an algorithm by which, under certain assumptions on X, we can calculate a finite set of generators of the image of the natural homomorphism from the automorphism group of X to the orthogonal group of the Néron-Severi lattice of X. We then apply this algorithm to certain complex K3 surfaces, among which are singular K3 surfaces whose transcendental lattices are of small discriminants.
Let X be as smooth complex projective variety with Neron-Severi group isomorphic to Z, and D an irreducible divisor with normal crossing singularities. Assume r is equal to 2 or 3. We prove that if the fundamental group of X doesn't have irreducible PU(r) representations, then the fundamental group of X-D doesn't have irreducible U(r) representations. The proof uses the non-existence of certain stable parabolic bundles. We also obtain a similar result for GL(2) when D is smooth and X is a complex surface.
To a smooth projective variety $X$ whose Chow group of $0$-cycles is $\mathbf Q$-universally trivial one can associate its torsion index $\mathrm{Tor}(X)$, the smallest multiple of the diagonal appearing in a cycle-theoretic decomposition à la Bloch-Srinivas. We show that $\mathrm{Tor}(X)$ is the exponent of the torsion in the Néron-Severi-group of $X$ when $X$ is a surface over an algebraically closed field $k$, up to a power of the exponential characteristic of $k$.
We construct an action of the Neron--Severi part of the Looijenga-Lunts-Verbitsky Lie algebra on the Chow ring of the Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 surface. This yields a simplification of Maulik and Negut's proof that the cycle class map is injective on the subring generated by divisor classes as conjectured by Beauville. The key step in the construction is an explicit formula for Lefschetz duals in terms of Nakajima operators. Our results also lead to a formula for the monodromy action on Hilbert schemes in terms of Nakajima operators.
We study a family of surfaces of general type that arises from the intersections of two translates of the theta divisor on a principally polarized complex abelian fourfold. In particular we determine the Néron-Severi lattices of these surfaces and show that for a general abelian fourfold the monodromy group of the associated variation of Hodge structures is a subgroup of index at most two in the Weyl group W(E_6), whereas for a Jacobian variety it degenerates to a subgroup of the symmetric group S_6.
Let $Y$ be a principal homogeneous space of an abelian surface, or a K3 surface, over a finitely generated extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. In 2008, Skorobogatov and Zarhin showed that the Brauer group modulo algebraic classes $\text{Br}\, Y/ \text{Br}_1\, Y$ is finite. We study this quotient for the family of surfaces that are geometrically isomorphic to a product of isogenous non-CM elliptic curves, as well as the related family of geometrically Kummer surfaces; both families can be characterized by their geometric Néron-Severi lattices. Over a field of characteristic $0$, we prove that the existe…
Let $X$ be an abelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field $k$. We consider theta groups associated to \emph{simple semi-homogenous vector bundles of separable type} on $X$. We determine the structure and representation theory of these groups. In doing so we relate work of Mumford, Mukai, and Umemura. We also consider adelic theta groups associated to line bundles on $X$. After reviewing Mumford's construction of these groups we determine functorial properties which they enjoy and then realize the Neron-Severi group of $X$ as a subgroup of the cohomology group $\H^2(\V(X); k^\tim…
We prove that the Neron-Severi groups of several complex Fermat surfaces are generated by lines. Specifically, we obtain these new results for all degrees up to 100 that are relatively prime to 6. The proof uses reduction modulo a supersingular prime. The techniques are developed in detail. They can be applied to other surfaces and varieties as well.
Let $X$ be a smooth compact projective variety over $\mathbb C$. Let $H^2(π_1(X),\mathbb R)^{1,1}$ be the intersection of $H^{1,1}(X,{\mathbb R})$ with the image of the map $H^2(π_1(X),{\mathbb R})\to H^2(X)$ induced by the classifying map $X\to Bπ_1(X)$. Let $NS(X)$ be the Néron-Severi group of $X$. Let $[ω]\in H^2(π_1(X),\mathbb R)^{1,1}+ NS(X)\otimes {\mathbb R}$. In this note, we prove that $[ω]$ is the cohomology class of a Kähler metric if and only if for every $d$-dimensional reduced closed algebraic subvariety $Z\subset X$, $[ω]^d.Z>0$.
Let X be a del Pezzo surface of degree 1, and let G be the simple Lie group of type E_8. We construct a locally closed embedding of a universal torsor over X into the G-orbit of the highest weight vector of the adjoint representation. This embedding is equivariant with respect to the action of the Neron-Severi torus T of X identified with a maximal torus of G extended by the group of scalars. The T-invariant hyperplane sections of the torsor defined by the roots of G are inverse images of the 240 exceptional curves on X. This extends the main result of our previous work to del Pezzo surfaces o…

Let $S$ be a connected Dedekind scheme and $X$ be a proper smooth connected scheme over $S$ . Let $D$ a divisor with no multiplicity of $X$ such that the irreducible components of $D$ and as well their intersections are smooth over $S$. Now if we endow $X$ with the log structure associated with $D$ then the structure morphism from $X$ to $S$ is log-smooth. Let $x: S \to X$ be a $S$-point such that it doesn't intersect $D$. Then we prove that the maximal abelian quotient of the log Nori fundamental group scheme of $X$ fits in to an exact sequence of the form $0 \rightarrow (\mathbf{NS}^τ_{X/S,D…
Let X be a K3 surface with the Neron-Severi lattice S_X and transcendental lattice T_X. Nukulin considered the kernel H_X of the natural representation Aut(X) ---> O(S_X) and proved that H_{X} is a finite cyclic group with phi(h(X))) | t(X) and acts faithfully on the space H^{2,0}(X) = C omega_{X}, where h(X) = ord(H_X), t(X) = rank T_X and phi(.) is the Euler function. Consider the extremal case where phi(h(X)) = t(X). In the situation where T_{X} is unimodular, Kondo has determined the list of t(X), as well as the actual realizations, and showed that t(X) alone uniquely determines the isomor…
