On equivalences of derived and singular categories

Let X and Y be two smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks and consider a pair of functions f: X → $ \mathbb{A}^1 $ \mathbb{A}^1 , g:Y → $ \mathbb{A}^1 $ \mathbb{A}^1 . Assuming that there exists a complex of sheaves on X × $ \mathbb{A}^1 $ \mathbb{A}^1 Y which induces an equivalence of D ^b (X) and D ^b (Y), we show that there is also an equivalence of the singular derived categories of the fibers f ⁻¹(0) and g ⁻¹(0). We apply this statement in the setting of McKay correspondence, and generalize a theorem of Orlov on the derived category of a Calabi-Yau hypersurface in a weighted projective space, to products of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in simplicial toric varieties with nef anticanonical class.     

Gallot–Tanno theorem for closed incomplete pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and applications

We extend the Gallot–Tanno theorem to closed pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. It is done by showing that if the cone over a manifold admits a parallel symmetric (0, 2)-tensor then it is Riemannian. Applications of this result to the existence of metrics with distinct Levi-Civita connections but having the same unparametrized geodesics and to the projective Obata conjecture are given. We also apply our result to show that the holonomy group of a closed (O(p + 1, q), S ^p,q )-manifold does not preserve any nondegenerate splitting of \mathbb R^p+1,q{\mathbb {R}^{p+1,q}}.     

Galois coverings and endomorphisms of projective varieties

We prove that the vector bundle associated to a Galois covering of projective manifolds is ample (resp. nef) under very mild conditions. This results is applied to the study of ramified endomorphisms of Fano manifolds with b ₂ = 1. It is conjectured that is the only Fano manifold admitting an endomorphism of degree d ≥ 2, and we verify this conjecture in several cases. An important ingredient is a generalization of a theorem of Andreatta–Wisniewski, characterizing projective space via the existence of an ample subsheaf in the tangent bundle.

Un théorème d'annulation “à la Kawamata-Viehweg”

The vanishing theorem of Kawamata and Viehweg is an important extension of Kodaira's theorem to nef and big line bundles. We extend it to nef vector bundles of arbitrary rank over smooth projective varieties: the hypothesis of a positive self intersection becomes a positivity condition for caracteristic numbers defined by certain Schur polynomials. We derive this condition from an expression of the self-intersection of a line bundle on a relative flag manifold, which provides some insight into the corresponding Gysin morphism. This expression is itself a byproduct of some expansions of the Chern character of symmetric powers, that should be of independant interest.      

Cone theorem via Deligne–Mumford stacks

We prove the cone theorem for varieties with LCIQ singularities using deformation theory of stable maps into Deligne–Mumford stacks. We also obtain a sharper bound on −(K _X + D)-degree of (K _X + D)-negative extremal rays for projective -factorial log terminal threefold pairs (X, D).     

Relations between the Kähler cone and the balanced cone of a Kähler manifold

In this paper, we consider a natural map from the Kähler cone of a compact Kähler manifold to its balanced cone. We study its injectivity and surjectivity. We also give an analytic characterization theorem on a nef class being Kähler.     

On nef reductions of projective irreducible symplectic manifolds

Let X be a projective irreducible symplectic manifold and L be a non trivial nef divisor on X. Assume that the nef dimension of L is strictly less than the dimension of X. We prove that L is semiample. Partially supported by Grant-in-Aid no. 15740002 (Japan Society for Promotion of Sciences)     

Remarks on the Gieseker-Petri divisor in genus eight

In the moduli space of curves of genus 8, M ₈, denote by GP ₈ the locus of curves that do not satisfy the Gieseker-Petri theorem. In this short note we study the projective plane models of curves of genus 8 that do not satisfy the Gieseker-Petri theorem. We use these projective models to exhibit an irreducible divisorial component in GP ₈ and we show that GP ₈ is an irreducible divisor.     

Some Comments on Projective Quadrics Subordinate to Pseudo-Hermitian Spaces

We study in some detail the structure of the projective quadric Q′ obtained by taking the quotient of the isotropic cone in a standard pseudo-hermitian space H _p,q with respect to the positive real numbers \mathbb R⁺{\mathbb R^{+}} and, further, by taking the quotient [(Q)\tilde] = Q￠/U(1){\tilde Q = Q^\prime /U(1)}. The case of signature (1, 1) serves as an illustration. Q̃ is studied as a compactification of \mathbb R ×H_p-1,q-1{\mathbb R \times H_{p-1,q-1}}     

The geometry of the moduli space of one-dimensional sheaves

Let Md be the moduli space of stable sheaves on P2with Hilbert polynomial dm+1.In this paper,we determine the effective and the nef cone of the space Md by natural geometric divisors.Main idea is to use the wall-crossing on the space of Bridgeland stability conditions and to compute the intersection numbers of divisors with curves by using the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem.We also present the stable base locus decomposition of the space M6.As a byproduct,we obtain the Betti numbers of the moduli spaces,which confirm the prediction in physics.     

Divisorial Zariski decompositions on compact complex manifolds

Using currents with minimal singularities, we introduce pointwise minimal multiplicities for a real pseudo-effective (1,1)-cohomology class α on a compact complex manifold X, which are the local obstructions to the numerical effectivity of α. The negative part of α is then defined as the real effective divisor N(α) whose multiplicity along a prime divisor D is just the generic multiplicity of α along D, and we get in that way a divisorial Zariski decomposition of α into the sum of a class Z(α) which is nef in codimension 1 and the class of its negative part N(α), which is an exceptional divisor in the sense that it is very rigidly embedded in X. The positive parts Z(α) generate a modified nef cone, and the pseudo-effective cone is shown to be locally polyhedral away from the modified nef cone, with extremal rays generated by exceptional divisors. We then treat the case of a surface and a hyper-Kähler manifold in some detail. Using the intersection form (respectively the Beauville-Bogomolov form), we characterize the modified nef cone and the exceptional divisors. The divisorial Zariski decomposition is orthogonal, and is thus a rational decomposition, which fact accounts for the usual existence statement of a Zariski decomposition on a projective surface, which is thus extended to the hyper-Kähler case. Finally, we explain how the divisorial Zariski decomposition of (the first Chern class of) a big line bundle on a projective manifold can be characterized in terms of the asymptotics of the linear series |kL| as k→∞.     

A Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for Mori dream spaces

Let X be a smooth Mori dream space of dimension ?? 4. We show that, if X satisfies a suitable GIT condition which we call small unstable locus, then every smooth ample divisor Y of X is also a Mori dream space. Moreover, the restriction map identifies the Néron?CSeveri spaces of X and Y, and under this identification every Mori chamber of Y is a union of some Mori chambers of X, and the nef cone of Y is the same as the nef cone of X. This Lefschetz-type theorem enables one to construct many examples of Mori dream spaces by taking ??Mori dream hypersurfaces?? of an ambient Mori dream space, provided that it satisfies the GIT condition. To facilitate this, we then show that the GIT condition is stable under taking products and taking the projective bundle of the direct sum of at least three line bundles, and in the case when X is toric, we show that the condition is equivalent to the fan of X being 2-neighborly.     

Projective contact manifolds

The present work is concerned with the study of complex projective manifolds X which carry a complex contact structure. In the first part of the paper we show that if K _X is not nef, then either X is Fano and b ₂(X)=1, or X is of the form ℙ(T _Y ), where Y is a projective manifold. In the second part of the paper we consider contact manifolds where K _X is nef. Oblatum 15-X-1999 & 3-II-2000?Published online: 8 May 2000     

ISOGENOUS OF THE ELLIPTIC CURVES OVER THE RATIONALS

AbstractAn elliptic curve is a pair (E,O), where ?is a smooth projective curve of genus 1 and O is a point of E, called the point at infinity. Every elliptic curve can be given by a Weierstrass equationE:y2 a1xy a3y = x3 a2x2 a4x a6.Let Q be the set of rationals. E is said to be dinned over Q if the coefficients ai, i = 1,2,3,4,6 are rationals and O is defined over Q.Let E/Q be an elliptic curve and let E(Q)tors be the torsion group of points of E denned over Q. The theorem of Mazur asserts that E(Q)tors is one of the following 15 groupsE(Q)tors　Z/mZ, m = 1,2,..., 10,12,Z/2Z × Z/2mZ, m = 1,2,3,4.We say that an elliptic curve E'/Q is isogenous to the elliptic curve E if there is an isogeny, i.e. a morphism : E E' such that (O) = O, where O is the point at infinity.We give an explicit model of all elliptic curves for which E(Q)tors is in the form Z/mZ where m= 9,10,12 or Z/2Z × Z/2mZ where m = 4, according to Mazur's theorem. Morever, for every family of such elliptic curves, we give an explicit m     

Remarks on the nef cone on symmetric products of curves

Let C be a very general curve of genus g and let C ⁽²⁾ be its second symmetric product. This paper concerns the problem of describing the convex cone of all numerically effective -divisors classes in the Néron–Severi space . In a recent work, Julius Ross improved the bounds on in the case of genus five. By using his techniques and by studying the gonality of the curves lying on C ⁽²⁾, we give new bounds on the nef cone of C ⁽²⁾ when C is a very general curve of genus 5 ≤ g ≤ 8.

The l-component of the unipotent Albanese map

We prove a finiteness theorem for the local l ≠ p-component of the -unipotent Albanese map for curves. As an application, we refine the non-abelian Selmer varieties arising in the study of global points and deduce thereby a new proof of Siegel’s theorem for affine curves over of genus one with Mordell–Weil rank at most one.     

Ample subvarieties and rationally connected fibrations

Under some positivity assumptions, extension properties of rationally connected fibrations from a submanifold to its ambient variety are studied. Given a family of rational curves on a complex projective manifold X inducing a covering family on a submanifold Y with ample normal bundle in X, the main results relate, under suitable conditions, the associated rational connected fiber structures on X and on Y. Applications of these results include an extension theorem for Mori contractions of fiber type and a classification theorem in the case Y has a structure of projective bundle or quadric fibration.

A criterion for weak convergence on Berkovich projective space

We give a criterion for the weak convergence of unit Borel measures on the N-dimensional Berkovich projective space P^N_K{{\bf P}^{N}_K} over a complete non-archimedean field K. As an application, we give a sufficient condition for a certain type of equidistribution on P^N_K{{\bf P}^{N}_K} in terms of a weak Zariski-density property on the scheme-theoretic projective space \mathbb P^N_[(K)\tilde]{{\mathbb P}^N_{\tilde{K{}_{\vphantom{0}}}}} over the residue field [(K)\tilde]{\tilde{K}} . As a second application, in the case of residue characteristic zero we give an ergodic-theoretic equidistribution result for the powers of a point a in the N-dimensional unit torus \mathbb T^N_K{{\mathbb T}^N_K} over K. This is a non-archimedean analogue of a well-known result of Weyl over \mathbb C{\mathbb C} , and its proof makes essential use of a theorem of Mordell-Lang type for \mathbb G_m^N{{\mathbb G}_m^N} due to Laurent.     

An extension of Fujita’s non-extendability theorem for Grassmannians

In this paper we study smooth complex projective varieties X containing a Grassmannian of lines ${{\mathbb G}(1, r)}$ which appears as the zero locus of a section of a rank two nef vector bundle E. Among other things we prove that the bundle E cannot be ample.
