Maximal log Fano manifolds are generalized Bott towers

(Filtered) cohomological rigidity of Bott towers

A Bott tower is an iterated $\CP ^1$-bundle over a point, where each $\CP ^1$-bundle is the projectivization of a rank $2$ decomposable complex vector bundle. For a Bott tower, the filtered cohomology is naturally defined. We show that isomorphism classes of Bott towers are distinguished by their filtered cohomology rings. We even show that any filtered cohomology ring isomorphism between two Bott towers is induced by an isomorphism of the Bott towers.

Fano generalized Bott manifolds

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a generalized Bott manifold to be Fano or weak Fano. As a consequence we characterize Fano Bott manifolds.

Bott vanishing for Fano 3-folds

Bott proved a strong vanishing theorem for sheaf cohomology on projective space, namely that $H^j(X,Ω^i_X\otimes L)=0$ for every $j>0$, $i\geq 0$, and $L$ ample. This holds for toric varieties, but not for most other varieties. We classify the smooth Fano 3-folds that satisfy Bott vanishing. There are many more than expected. Along the way, we conjecture that for every projective birational morphism $π\colon X\to Y$ of smooth varieties, and every line bundle $A$ on $X$ that is ample over $Y$, the higher direct image sheaf $R^jπ_*(Ω^i_X\otimes A)$ is zero for every $j>0$ and $i\geq 0$.

On the enumeration of Fano Bott manifolds

Fano Bott manifolds bijectively correspond to signed rooted forests with some equivalence relation. Using this bijective correspondence, we enumerate the isomorphism classes of Fano Bott manifolds and the diffeomorphism classes of indecomposable Fano Bott manifolds. We also observe that the signed rooted forests with the equivalence relation bijectively correspond to rooted triangular cacti.

Unique toric structure on a Fano Bott manifold

We prove that if there exists a $c_1$-preserving graded ring isomorphism between integral cohomology rings of two Fano Bott manifolds, then they are isomorphic as toric varieties. As a consequence, we give an affirmative answer to McDuff's question on the uniqueness of a toric structure on a Fano Bott manifold.

A note on toric degeneration of a Bott-Samelson-Demazure-Hansen variety

In this paper we study the geometry of toric degeneration of a Bott-Samelson-Demazure-Hansen (BSDH) variety. We give some applications to BSDH varieties. Precisely, we classify Fano, weak Fano and log Fano BSDH varieties and their toric limits in Kac-Moody setting. We prove some vanishing theorems for the cohomology of tangent bundle (and line bundles) on BSDH varieties. We also recover the results in arXiv:1604.01998, by toric methods.

Cohomological rigidity for Fano Bott manifolds

In the present paper, we characterize Fano Bott manifolds up to diffeomorphism in terms of three operations on matrix. More precisely, we prove that given two Fano Bott manifolds $X$ and $X'$, the following conditions are equivalent: (1) the upper triangular matrix associated to $X$ can be transformed into that of $X'$ by those three operations; (2) $X$ and $X'$ are diffeomorphic; (3) the integral cohomology rings of $X$ and $X'$ are isomorphic as graded rings. As a consequence, we affirmatively answer the cohomological rigidity problem for Fano Bott manifolds.

Topological classification of generalized Bott towers

If $B$ is a toric manifold and $E$ is a Whitney sum of complex line bundles over $B$, then the projectivization $P(E)$ of $E$ is again a toric manifold. Starting with $B$ as a point and repeating this construction, we obtain a sequence of complex projective bundles which we call a generalized Bott tower. We prove that if the top manifold in the tower has the same cohomology ring as a product of complex projective spaces, then every fibration in the tower is trivial so that the top manifold is diffeomorphic to the product of complex projective spaces. This gives a supporting evidence to what we…

On the degree of Fano schemes of linear subspaces on hypersurfaces

In this paper we propose and prove an explicit formula for computing the degree of Fano schemes of linear subspaces on general hypersurfaces. The method used here is based on the localization theorem and Bott's residue formula in equivariant intersection theory.

Cohomologie et $K$-theorie equivariantes des tours de Bott et des varietes de drapeaux. Application au calcul de Schubert

We determine the structure of the equivariant cohomology and $K$-theory of Bott towers. By restriction, we obtain similar results for Bott-Samelson varieties. This results allow us to describe more precisely the equivariant cohomology and $K$-theory of the flag variety $X$. We give an expression for the cup product in $H_T^*(X)$.

Relative Ding and $K$-stability of toric Fano manifolds in low dimensions

The purpose of this paper is to clarify all of the uniformly relatively Ding stable toric Fano threefolds and fourfolds as well as unstable ones. The key player in our classification result is the Mabuchi constants, which can be calculated by combinatorial data of the associated moment polytopes due to the work of Yao [33]. In Tables 1-3, we give the list of uniform relative Ding stability of all toric Fano manifolds in dimension up to four with the values of the Mabuchi constants. As an application of our main theorem (Theorem 1.1), we clarify the difference between relative $K$-stability and…

Deformation of Bott-Samelson varieties and variations of isotropy structures

In the framework of the problem of characterizing complete flag manifolds by their contractions, the complete flags of type $F_4$ and $G_2$ satisfy the property that any possible tower of Bott-Samelson varieties dominating them birationally deforms in a nontrivial moduli. In this paper we illustrate the fact that, at least in some cases, these deformations can be explained in terms of automorphisms of Schubert varieties, providing variations of certain isotropic structures on them. As a corollary, we provide a unified and completely algebraic proof of the characterization of complete flag mani…

Schémas de Fano

Let X be a subvariety of $P^n$ defined by equations of degrees $ d =(d_1,...,d_s)$, over an algebraically closed field k of any characteristic. We study properties of the Fano scheme $F_r(X)$ that parametrizes linear subspaces of dimension r contained in X. We prove that $F_r(X)$ is connected and smooth of the expected dimension for n big enough (this was previously known in characteristic 0 or for r=1). Using Bott's theorem, we prove a vanishing theorem for certain bundles on the Grassmannian and use it to calculate the cohomology groups of $F_r(X)$ in degree $\le \dim X-2r$, and to prove tha…

On the generalized Futaki invariant

We study the algebraic properties of the generalized Futaki invariant of an almost Fano variety and prove that it is in fact a pushforward to a point of an appropriate equivariant Chow cohomology class of the variety. This allows us to use Bott-type formulae for calculating the invariant. We show this use on some examples.

The Kähler geometry of Bott manifolds

We study the Kähler geometry of stage n Bott manifolds, which can be viewed as $n$-dimensional generalizations of Hirzebruch surfaces. We show, using a simple induction argument and the generalized Calabi construction from [ACGT04,ACGT11], that any stage n Bott manifold $M_n$ admits an extremal Kähler metric. We also give necessary conditions for $M_n$ to admit a constant scalar curvature Kähler metric. We obtain more precise results for stage 3 Bott manifolds, including in particular some interesting relations with c-projective geometry and some explicit examples of almost Kähler structures. …

Degenerate flag varieties of type A: Frobenius splitting and BW theorem

Let $\Fl^a_\la$ be the PBW degeneration of the flag varieties of type $A_{n-1}$. These varieties are singular and are acted upon with the degenerate Lie group $SL_n^a$. We prove that $\Fl^a_\la$ have rational singularities, are normal and locally complete intersections, and construct a desingularization $R_\la$ of $\Fl^a_\la$. The varieties $R_\la$ can be viewed as towers of successive $\bP^1$-fibrations, thus providing an analogue of the classical Bott-Samelson-Demazure-Hansen desingularization. We prove that the varieties $R_\la$ are Frobenius split. This gives us Frobenius splitting for the…

Classification of toric manifolds over an $n$-cube with one vertex cut

We say that a complete nonsingular toric variety (called a toric manifold in this paper) is over $P$ if its quotient by the compact torus is homeomorphic to $P$ as a manifold with corners. Bott manifolds (or Bott towers) are toric manifolds over an $n$-cube $I^n$ and blowing them up at a fixed point produces toric manifolds over $\mathrm{vc}(I^n)$ an $n$-cube with one vertex cut. They are all projective. On the other hand, Oda's $3$-fold, the simplest non-projective toric manifold, is over $\mathrm{vc}(I^n)$. In this paper, we classify toric manifolds over $\mathrm{vc}(I^n)$ $(n\ge 3)$ as vari…
