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.

Let $X$ be a normal complex projective variety, $T\subseteq X$ a subvariety of dimension $m$ (possibly $T=X$) and $a:X\rightarrow A$ a morphism to an abelian variety such that $\text{Pic}^{0}(A)$ injects into $\text{Pic}^{0}(T)$; let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in \text{Pic}^{0}(A)$ a general element.We introduce two new ingredients for the study of linear systems on $X$. First of all, we show the existence of a factorization of the map $a$, called the eventual map of $L$ on $T$, which controls the behavior of the linear systems $|L\otimes \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}|_{|T}$, asymptotically with respect to the pullbacks to the connected étale covers $X^{(d)}\rightarrow X$ induced by the $d$-th multiplication map of $A$.Second, we define the so-called continuous rank function$x\mapsto h_{a}^{0}(X_{|T},L+xM)$, where $M$ is the pullback of an ample divisor of $A$. This function extends to a continuous function of $x\in \mathbb{R}$, which is differentiable except possibly at countably many points; when $X=T$ we compute the left derivative explicitly.As an application, we give quick short proofs of a wide range of new Clifford–Severi inequalities, i.e., geographical bounds of the form $$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle \text{vol}_{X|T}(L)\geqslant C(m)h_{a}^{0}(X_{|T},L), & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$ where $C(m)={\mathcal{O}}(m!)$ depends on several geometrical properties of $X$, $L$ or $a$.

Abstract We study codimension one holomorphic distributions on the projective three-space, analyzing the properties of their singular schemes and tangent sheaves. In particular, we provide a classification of codimension one distributions of degree at most 2 with locally free tangent sheaves and show that codimension one distributions of arbitrary degree with only isolated singularities have stable tangent sheaves. Furthermore, we describe the moduli space of distributions in terms of Grothendieck’s Quot-scheme for the tangent bundle. In certain cases, we show that the moduli space of codimension one distributions on the projective space is an irreducible, nonsingular quasi-projective variety. Finally, we prove that every rational foliation and certain logarithmic foliations have stable tangent sheaves.

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.

We consider the question of relating extrinsic geometric characters of a smooth irreducible complex projective variety, which is invariant by a one-dimensional holomorphic foliation on a complex projective space, to geometric objects associated to the foliation.

AbstractLet U/ℂ be a smooth quasi-projective variety of dimension d, CHr (U,m) Bloch's higher Chow group, andclr,m: CHr (U,m) ⊗ ℚ → homMHS (ℚ(0), H2r−m (U, ℚ(r)))the cycle class map. Beilinson once conjectured clr,m to be surjective [Be]; however, Jannsen was the first to find a counterexample in the case m = 1 [Ja1]. In this paper we study the image of clr,m in more detail (as well as at the “generic point” of U) in terms of kernels of Abel-Jacobi mappings. When r = m, we deduce from the Bloch-Kato conjecture (now a theorem) various results, in particular that the cokernel of clm,m at the generic point is the same for integral or rational coefficients.

AbstractLet X be projective variety over an algebraically closed field k and G be a finite group with g.c.d.(char(k), |G|) = 1. We prove that any representations of G on a coherent sheaf, ρ : G → End(ℰ), has a natural decomposition ℰ ≃ ⊕ V ⊗k ℱV, where G acts trivially on ℱV and the sum run over all irreducible representations of G over k.

In this paper we prove a lifting result for local cohomology. As a special case we get the following result for the Serre-cohomology over a projective variety:Proposition (1·1). Let ℱ be a coherent sheaf over X, where X is a projective variety over an algebraically closed field k. Let i ≽ 0 and assume that there is a pencil P of hyper-plane sections which is in general position with respect to ℱ (which means that x ∉ H, ∀x ∈ Ass(ℱ), ∀H∈p), and such that for each H ∈ P Hi(X, ℱ│H(n)) = 0, ∀n ≪ 0. Then Hi + 1(X, ℱ) = 0, ∀n ≪ 0.
