A canonical hyperkaehler metric on the total space $T^*M$ of a cotangent bundle to a complex manifold $M$ has been constructed recently by the author (see alg-geom/9710026). This paper presents the results of alg-geom/9710026 in a streamlined and simplified form. The only new result is an explicit formula obtained for the case when $M$ is an Hermitian symmetric space.
We construct examples to show that having nef cotangent bundle is not preserved under finite ramified covers. Our examples also show that a projective manifold with Stein universal cover may not have nef cotangent bundle, disproving a conjecture of Liu-Maxim-Wang.
In this paper we study the positivity of the cotangent bundle of projective manifolds. We conjecture that the cotangent bundle is pseudoeffective if and only the manifold has non-zero symmetric differentials. We confirm this conjecture for most projective surfaces that are not of general type.
Any smooth projective variety contains many complete intersection subvarieties with ample cotangent bundles, of each dimension up to half its own dimension.
We give a new criterion for when a resolution of a surface of general type with canonical singularities has big cotangent bundle and a new lower bound for the values of $d$ for which there is a surface with big cotangent bundle that is deformation equivalent to a smooth hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^3$ of degree $d$.
In this paper, we prove that a smooth projective globally $F$-split variety with numerically flat tangent bundle is an étale quotient of an ordinary abelian variety. We also show its logarithmic analog, which contains a characterization of toric varieties. We further prove that, without assumption of global $F$-splitting, a smooth projective separably rationally connected variety of arbitrary characteristic with numerically flat log cotangent bundle is a toric variety.
In this paper, we show that there is a natural Lagrangian fibration structure on the map $Φ$ from the cotangent bundle of a del Pezzo surface $X$ of degree 4 to $\mathbb C^2$. Moreover, we describe explicitly all level surfaces of the above natural map $Φ$.
Let $X$ be a Hyperkähler manifold, and let $H$ be an ample divisor on $X$. We give a lower bound in terms of the Beauville-Bogomolov form $q(H)$ for the twisted cotangent bundle $Ω_X \otimes H$ to be pseudoeffective. If $X$ is deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme of a K3 surface the lower bound can be written down explicitly and we study its optimality.
In this article we consider log canonical pairs which are log-smooth. If the corresponding canonical bundle is pseudo-effective, then we show that any quotient of the orbifold cotangent bundle of the pair has a pseudo-effective determinant. One of the new ingredients in the proof is a generalization of the Bogomolov-McQuillan algebraicity criterion in the context of holomorphic foliations whose minimal slope with respect to a movable class is positive.
We consider a complex smooth projective variety equipped with an action of an algebraic torus with a finite number of fixed points. We compare the motivic Chern classes of Białynicki-Birula cells with the $K$-theoretic stable envelopes of cotangent bundle. We prove that under certain geometric assumptions satisfied e.g. by homogenous spaces these two notions coincide up to normalization.
The aim of this work is to construct examples of pairs whose logarithmic cotangent bundles have strong positivity properties. These examples are constructed from any smooth n-dimensional complex projective varieties by considering the sum of at least n general sufficiently ample hypersurfaces.
For a regular scheme and a prime number $p$, we define the FW-cotangent bundle as a vector bundle on the closed subscheme defined by $p=0$, under a certain finiteness condition. For a constructible complex on the etale site of the scheme, we introduce the condition to be micro-supported on a closed conical subset in the FW-cotangent bundle. At the end of the article, we compute the singular supports in some cases.
We prove that a general complete intersection of dimension $n$, codimension $c$ and type $d_1, \dots, d_c$ in $\mathbb{P}^N$ has ample cotangent bundle if $c \geq 2n-2$ and the $d_i$'s are all greater than a bound that is $O(1)$ in $N$ and quadratic in $n$. This degree bound substantially improves the currently best-known super-exponential bound in $N$ by Deng, although our result does not address the case $n \leq c < 2n-2$.
It is known that the cotangent bundle $Ω_Y$ of an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space $Y$ of compact type is stable. Except for a few obvious exceptions, we show that if $X \subset Y$ is a complete intersection such that $Pic(Y) \to Pic(X)$ is surjective, then the restriction $Ω_{Y|X}$ is stable. We then address some cases where the Picard group increases by restriction.
In this paper, we study a variation of a conjecture of Debarre on positivity of cotangent bundles of complete intersections. We establish the ampleness of Schur powers of cotangent bundles of generic complete intersections in projective manifolds, with high enough explicit codimension and multi-degrees. Our approach is naturally formulated in terms of flag bundles and allows one to reach the optimal codimension. On complex manifolds, this ampleness property implies intermediate hyperbolic properties. We give a natural application of our main result in this context.
We show that there is a ${SL_n}$-stable closed subset of an affine Schubert variety in the infinite dimensional Flag variety (associated to the Kac-Moody group ${\widehat{SL_n}}$) which is a natural compactification of the cotangent bundle to the finite-dimensional Flag variety ${SL_n/B}$.
Let A be an elliptic curve, and let $V_A$ be the Serre vector bundle on A. A famous example of Demailly-Peternell-Schneider shows that the tautological class of $V_A$ contains a unique closed positive current. In this survey we start by generalising this statement to arbitrary compact Kähler manifolds. We then give an application to abelian fibrations $X \rightarrow Y$ where the total space X has pseudoeffective cotangent bundle and raise some questions about nonvanishing properties of these bundles.
In this paper, we provide two different resolutions of structural sheaves of projectivized tangent bundles of smooth complete intersections. These resolutions allow in particular to obtain convenient (and completely explicit) descriptions of cohomology of twisted symmetric powers of cotangent bundles of complete intersections, which are easily implemented on computer. We then provide several applications. First, we recover the known vanishing theorems on the subject, and show that they are optimal via some non-vanishing theorems. Then, we study the symmetric algebra of global sections of symme…
Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth curve over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $X$ be a scheme, which is smooth and projective over $K$. Suppose that the cotangent bundle $Ω_{X/K}$ is ample. Let $R:={\rm Zar}(X)(K)\cap X)$ be the Zariski closure of the set of all $K$-rational points of $X$, endowed with its reduced induced structure. We prove that there is a projective variety $X_0$ over $k$ and a finite and surjective $K^{\rm sep}$-morphism $X_{0,K^{\rm sep}}\to R_{K^{\rm sep}}$, which is birational when ${\rm char}(K)=0$.
We describe the monodromy of the equivariant quantum differential equation of the cotangent bundle of a Grassmannian in terms of the equivariant K-theory algebra of the cotangent bundle. This description is based on the hypergeometric integral representations for solutions of the equivariant quantum differential equation. We identify the space of solutions with the space of the equivariant K-theory algebra of the cotangent bundle. In particular, we show that for any element of the monodromy group, all entries of its matrix in the standard basis of the equivariant K-theory algebra of the cotang…
Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup in $G=SL_n(\mathbf k)$, for $\mathbf k$ an algebraically closed field. We show that there is a $G$-stable closed subvariety of an affine Schubert variety in an affine partial flag variety which is a natural compactification of the cotangent bundle $T^*G/P$. Restricting this identification to the conormal variety $N^*X(w)$ of a Schubert divisor $X(w)$ in $G/P$, we show that there is a compactification of $N^*X(w)$ as an affine Schubert variety. It follows that $N^*X(w)$ is normal, Cohen-Macaulay, and Frobenius split.
Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup in $SL_n(\mathbb C)$. We show that there is a $SL_n(\mathbb C)$-stable closed subvariety of an affine Schubert variety in an infinite dimensional partial Flag variety (associated to the Kac-Moody group ${\widehat{SL_n}(\mathbb C)}$) which is a natural compactification of the cotangent bundle to $SL_n(\mathbb C)/P$. As a consequence, we recover the Springer resolution for any orbit closure inside the variety of nilpotent matrices.
In this paper, we investigate the structure of the convergent quantization of the 1-shifted cotangent bundle $S$ of a smooth scheme $X$ over a perfect field of positive characteristic. The quantization is an $E_2$-algebra over the Frobenius twist $S'$ of the 1-shifted cotangent bundle which restricted to the zero section $X'\rightarrow S'$ is weakly $E_2$-Morita equivalent to the structure sheaf $\mathscr O_{X'}$ of the Frobenius twist $X'$ of $X$. Explicitly, we show that the $(\infty,2)$-category of coherent (left-)modules over $\mathscr O_{X'}$ is equivalent to the full subcategory of the $…
Using compactifications in the logarithmic cotangent bundle, we obtain a formula for the Chern classes of the pushforward of Lagrangian cycles under an open embedding with normal crossing complement. This generalizes earlier results of Aluffi and Wu-Zhou. The first application of our formula is a geometric description of Chern-Mather classes of an arbitrary very affine variety, generalizing earlier results of Huh which held under the smooth and schon assumptions. As the second application, we confirm an involution formula relating sectional maximum likelihood (ML) degrees and ML bidegrees, whi…
