The theory of the Oukounkov body is a useful tool for studying the asymptotic behaviour of the canonical ring of a line bundle over a projective manifold. In this note, combined with the algebraic reduction, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the canonical ring of a line bundle over an arbitrary compact normal irreducible complex space.
We study projective manifolds with nonamenable and non-residually finite fundamental groups. We generalize the uniformization theorem of our earlier note. We generalize a classical theorem of Maltsev about finitely generated subgroups of GL(m).
Let $(X,L)$ be a quasi-polarized canonical Calabi-Yau threefold. In this note, we show that $\vert mL\vert$ is basepoint free for $m\geq 4$. Moreover, if the morphism $Φ_{\vert 4L\vert}$ is not birational onto its image and $h^0(X,L)\geq 2$, then $L^3=1$. As an application, if $Y$ is a $n$-dimensional Fano manifold such that $-K_Y=(n-3)H$ for some ample divisor $H$, then $\vert mH\vert$ is basepoint free for $m\geq 4$ and if the morphism $Φ_{\vert 4H\vert}$ is not birational onto its image, then $Y$ is either a weighted hypersurface of degree $10$ in the weighted projective space $\mathbb{P}(1…
This article focuses on the study of toric algebraic statistical models which correspond to toric Del Pezzo surfaces with Du Val singularities. A closed-form for the Maximum Likelihood Estimate of algebraic statistical models which correspond to cubic and quartic toric Del Pezzo surfaces with Du Val singular points is given. Also, we calculate the ML degrees of some toric Del Pezzo surfaces of degree less than or equal to six, which equals the degree of the surface in all the case but one, namely the quintic with two points of type $\mathbb{A}_1$.
In this note, we obtain various formulas for the curvature of the $L^2$ metric on the direct image of the relative canonical bundle twisted by a holomorphic line bundle endowed with a positively curved metric with analytic singularities, generalizing some of Berndtsson's seminal results in the smooth case. When the twist is assumed to be relatively big, we further provide a very explicit lower bound for the curvature of the $L^2$ metric.
We show that the $\ell$-adic Tate conjecture for divisors on smooth proper varieties over finitely generated fields of positive characteristic follows from the $\ell$-adic Tate conjecture for divisors on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields. Similar results for cycles of higher co-dimension are given.
In this note, we construct three new infinite families of surfaces of general type with canonical map of degree 2 onto a surface of general type. For one of these families the canonical system has base points.
The purpose of this note is to show that in characteristic two there exists a smooth Fano variety for which the square of the anti-canonical bundle violates Kodaira vanishing. This is used in turn to construct non-Cohen-Macaulay canonical singularities in characteristic two.
In this note, we construct nine families of projective complex minimal surfaces of general type having the canonical map of degree 8 and irregularity 0 or 1. For six of these families the canonical system has a non trivial fixed part.
In this note we construct an unlimited family of irregular algebraic surfaces of general type with canonical map of degree $ 8 $, irregularity $ 1 $ and arbitrarily large geometric genus such that the image of the canonical map is not a surface of minimal degree.
In this note we present examples of complex algebraic surfaces of general type with canonical maps of degree $10$, $11$ and $14$. They are constructed as quotients of a product of two Fermat septics using certain free actions of the group $\mathbb Z_7^2$.
In this note we provide a two-dimensional family of smooth minimal threefolds of general type with canonical map of degree 96, improving the previous known bound of 72.
In this note, we construct a minimal surface of general type with geometric genus p g = 4, self-intersection of the canonical divisor K^2 = 32 and irregularity q = 1 such that its canonical map is an abelian cover of degree 16 of P^1 x P^1.
In this note, we construct some minimal smooth surfaces of general type with canonical map of degree $ 13, 15, 17, 18, 21, 22 $. These surfaces are constructed as $ \mathbb{Z}_{3}^2$-covers of a blow-up of $ \mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1 $.
In this note, we construct two minimal surfaces of general type with geometric genus p_g= 3, irregularity q = 0, self-intersection of the canonical divisor K^22 =20,24 such that their canonical map is of degree 20. In one of these surfaces, the canonical linear system has a non-trivial fixed part. These surfaces, to our knowledge, are the first examples of minimal surfaces of general type with canonical map of degree 20.
The purpose of this short note is to give a remark on the decomposition theorem for direct images of canonical sheaves tensorized with Nakano semipositive vector bundles. Although our result is a direct consequence of Takegoshi's work, it was not stated explicitly in his article. Here we give the precise statement and the proof.
In this paper we collect some results on the obstruction spaces for rational surface singularities and minimally elliptic surface singularities. Based on the known results we calculate higher obstruction spaces for such surface singularities. The results imply that in general the higher obstruction spaces of deforming semi-log-canonical surfaces do not vanish. We apply the calculation result to show that there is no Li-Tian and Behrend-Fantechi style virtual fundamental class on such moduli space of semi-log-canonical surfaces.
Few explicit families of 3-folds are known for which the computation of the canonical ring is accessible and the birational geometry non-trivial. In this note we investigate a family of determinantal 3-folds in $\mathbb P^2 \times \mathbb P^3$ where this is the case.
In this note, we extend the theories of the canonical bundle formula and adjunction to the case of generalized pairs. As an application, we study a particular case of a conjecture by Prokhorov and Shokurov.
In this note we present examples of complex algebraic surfaces with canonical maps of degree $12$, $13$, $15$, $16$ and $18$. They are constructed as quotients of a product of two curves of genus $10$ and $19$ using certain non-free actions of the group $S_3\times \mathbb Z_3^2$. To our knowledge there are no other examples in literature of surfaces with canonical map of degree $13$, $15$ and $18$.
Let $k$ be an $F$-finite field containing an infinite perfect field of positive characteristic. Let $(X, Δ)$ be a projective log canonical pair over $k$. In this note we show that, for a semi-ample divisor $D$ on $X$, there exists an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $Δ' \sim_{\mathbb Q} Δ+D$ such that $(X, Δ')$ is log canonical if there exists a log resolution of $(X, Δ)$.
Let $N$ be a lattice of rank $n$ and let $M = N^{\vee}$ be its dual lattice. In this note we show that given two compact, bounded, full-dimensional convex sets $K_1 \subseteq K_2 \subseteq M_{\R} \coloneqq M \otimes_{\Z} \R$, there is a canonical convex decomposition of the difference $K_2 \setminus K_1$ and we interpret the volume of the pieces geometrically in terms of intersection numbers of toric $b$-divisors.
This note is the sequel to [A note on secondary K-theory. Algebra and Number Theory 10 (2016), no. 4, 887-906]. Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the canonical map from the derived Brauer group to the secondary Grothendieck ring has the following injectivity properties: in the case of a regular integral quasi-compact quasi-separated scheme, it is injective; in the case of an integral normal Noetherian scheme with a single isolated singularity, it distinguishes any two derived Brauer classes whose difference is of infinite order. As an application, we show…
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 $$κ(X)\geκ(Y) + κ(X_η).$$
A celebrated conjecture of Kobayashi and Lang says that the canonical line bundle $K_X$ of a Kobayashi hyperbolic compact complex manifold $X$ is ample. In this note we prove that $K_X$ is ample if $X$ is projective and satisfies a stronger condition of nondegenerate negative total $k$-jet curvature. We use positivity of direct image sheaves and decomposition of jets in order to produce pluridifferentials on $X$.
This note gives a simple formula for the unique asymptotically conical Calabi-Yau metrics on the canonical bundle of a flag variety known to exist by the work of R. Goto and others. This is done by generalizing the well known Calabi Ansatz to general Kähler classes. We give some examples of explicit families, in particular, a formula for the two dimensional family of asymptotically conical metrics on the canonical bundle of $F_{1,2}$.
