Let X be a smooth projective variety of dimension n over the field of complex numbers. We denote by Kx the canonical bundle of X. By Mori's theory, if Kx is not numerically effective (i.e. if there exists a curve on X which has negative intersection number with Kx), then there exists an extremal ray ℝ+[C] on X and an elementary contraction fR: X → Y associated with ℝ+[C].fR is called a small contraction if it is bi-rational and an isomorphism in co-dimension one.

AbstractIn this article, we give a new construction of a Kähler-Einstein metric on a smooth projective variety with ample canonical bundle. As a consequence, for a dominant projective morphismf:X→Swith connected fibers such that a general fiber has an ample canonical bundle, and for a positive integerm, we construct a canonical singular Hermitian metrichE,monwith semipositive curvature in the sense of Nakano.

We show that a$\mathbb{P}$-object and simple configurations of$\mathbb{P}$-objects have a formal derived endomorphism algebra. Hence the triangulated category (classically) generated by such objects is independent of the ambient triangulated category. We also observe that the category generated by the structure sheaf of a smooth projective variety over the complex numbers only depends on its graded cohomology algebra.

The present note is intended to be a supplement to [9], in which the following is proven: Let V be a smooth projective variety over the field of complex numbers C, T a smooth quasi-projective variety, Z a cycle in T × V of codimension p. If Z(t) is l-cube equivalent to zero for general t e T, then, setting r = dim V − p,vanishes for l′ < l, where {tZ} is the correspondence defined by Z.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over the complex numbers, and $\Delta \subseteq X$ a reduced divisor with normal crossings. We present a slightly simplified proof for the following theorem of Campana and P\u{a}un: If some tensor power of the bundle $\Omega_X^1(\log \Delta)$ contains a subsheaf with big determinant, then $(X, \Delta)$ is of log general type. This result is a key step in the recent proof of Viehweg's hyperbolicity conjecture. Comment: 9 pages. Formatted using epigamath.sty

Let X be a smooth projective variety over the complex number field. Let f : X → Y be a small contraction, and suppose that each irreducible component Ei of the exceptional locus E of f is a smooth subvariety. Assume that dim E ≤ ½ ( dim X + 1), and the normal bundle [Formula: see text]. Then each Ei ≅ P dim Ei or Q dim Ei. Moreover, the flip f+ : X+ → Y of f exists.

We investigate the deformations of pairs [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a line bundle on a smooth projective variety [Formula: see text], defined over an algebraically closed field [Formula: see text] of characteristic 0. In particular, we prove that the DG-Lie algebra controlling the deformations of the pair [Formula: see text] is homotopy abelian whenever [Formula: see text] has trivial canonical bundle, and so these deformations are unobstructed.

AbstractGiven a smooth projective variety, a Chow–Künneth decomposition is called multiplicative if it is compatible with the intersection product. Following works of Beauville and Voisin, Shen and Vial conjectured that hyper-Kähler varieties admit a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition. In this paper, based on the mysterious link between Fano varieties with cohomology of K3 type and hyper-Kähler varieties, we ask whether Fano varieties with cohomology of K3 type also admit a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition, and provide evidence by establishing their existence for cubic fourfolds and Küchle fourfolds of type c7. The main input in the cubic hypersurface case is the Franchetta property for the square of the Fano variety of lines; this was established in our earlier work in the fourfold case and is generalized here to arbitrary dimension. On the other end of the spectrum, we also give evidence that varieties with ample canonical class and with cohomology of K3 type might admit a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition, by establishing this for two families of Todorov surfaces.

AbstractLet X be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field k. Nori constructed a category of vector bundles on X, called essentially finite vector bundles, which is reminiscent of the category of representations of the fundamental group (in characteristic zero). In fact, this category is equivalent to the category of representations of a pro-finite group scheme which controls all finite torsors. We show that essentially finite vector bundles coincide with those which become trivial after being pulled back by some proper and surjective morphism to X.
