AbstractWe prove that the vanishing of the functoriality morphism for the étale fundamental group between smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ forces the same property for the fundamental groups of stratifications.

Abstract Let {{k}} be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and let {f:X\to Y} be a morphism of smooth projective varieties over the ring {k((t))} of formal Laurent series. We prove that if a general geometric fiber of f is rationally connected, then the induced map {f^{\mathrm{an}}:X^{\mathrm{an}}\to Y^{\mathrm{an}}} between the Berkovich analytifications of X and Y is a homotopy equivalence. Two important consequences of this result are that the Berkovich analytification of any {\mathbb{P}^{n}} -bundle over a smooth projective {k((t))} -variety is homotopy equivalent to the Berkovich analytification of the base, and that the Berkovich analytification of a rationally connected smooth projective variety over {k((t))} is contractible.

Arbitrary Characteristic

We define formal orbifolds over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic as curves together with some branch data. Their étale coverings and their fundamental groups are also defined. These fundamental groups approximate the fundamental group of an appropriate affine curve. We also define vector bundles on these objects and the category of orbifold bundles on any smooth projective curve. Analogues of various statements about vector bundles which are true in characteristic zero are also proved. Some of these are positive characteristic avatars of notions which appear in the second author’s work [A. J. Parmeswaran, Parabolic coverings I: Case of curves, J. Ramanujam Math. Soc. 25(3) (2010) 233–251.] in characteristic zero.

Abstract “Even more so is the word ‘crystalline’, a glacial and impersonal concept of his which disdains viewing existence from a single portion of time and space” Eileen Myles, “The Importance of Being Iceland” For a smooth variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$ to a differential 1-form $\alpha $ on the Frobenius twist $X^{\textrm{(1)}}$ one can associate an Azumaya algebra ${{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }$, defined as a certain central reduction of the algebra ${{\mathcal{D}}}_X$ of “crystalline differential operators” on $X$. For a resolution of singularities $\pi :X\to Y$ of an affine variety $Y$, we study for which $\alpha $ the class $[{{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }]$ in the Brauer group $\textrm{Br}(X^{\textrm{(1)}})$ descends to $Y^{\textrm{(1)}}$. In the case when $X$ is symplectic, this question is related to Fedosov quantizations in characteristic $p$ and the construction of noncommutative resolutions of $Y$. We prove that the classes $[{{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }]$ descend étale locally for all $\alpha $ if ${{\mathcal{O}}}_Y\widetilde{\rightarrow }\pi _\ast{{\mathcal{O}}}_X$ and $R^{1}\pi _*\mathcal O_X = R^2\pi _*\mathcal O_X =0$. We also define a certain class of resolutions, which we call resolutions with conical slices, and prove that for a general reduction of a resolution with conical slices in characteristic $0$ to an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$ classes $[{{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }]$ descend to $Y^{\textrm{(1)}}$ globally for all $\alpha $. Finally we give some examples; in particular, we show that Slodowy slices, Nakajima quiver varieties, and hypertoric varieties are resolutions with conical slices.

In [10] it was proved that, if X denotes a non singular surface which is a complete intersection in (k an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0) and C an irreducible curve on X, which is a set-theoretic complete intersection in X, then C is actually a complete intersection in X; the key point was to show that Pic (X) modulo the subgroup generated by the class of is torsion-free.

Smooth Projective Varieties

Let$X$be a smooth complex projective variety with basepoint$x$. We prove that every rigid integral irreducible representation$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}(X\!,x)\rightarrow \operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{C})$is of geometric origin, i.e., it comes from some family of smooth projective varieties. This partially generalizes an earlier result by Corlette and the second author in the rank 2 case and answers one of their questions.

The Relationship

This paper examines the relationship between the automorphism group of a hyperelliptic curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two and the 2-rank of the curve. In particular, we exploit the wild ramification to use the Deuring–Shafarevich formula in order to analyze the ramification of hyperelliptic curves that admit extra automorphisms and use this data to impose restrictions on the genera and 2-ranks of such curves. We also show how some of the techniques and results carry over to the case where our base field is of characteristic p > 2.

AbstractLet X be a normal projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field and let Z be a subvariety. Let D be an ${\mathbb R}$-Cartier ${\mathbb R}$-divisor on X. Given an expression (*) D$\sim_{\mathbb R}$t1H1 +. . .+ tsHs with ti ∈ ${\mathbb R}$ and Hi very ample, we define the (*)-restricted volume of D to Z and we show that it coincides with the usual restricted volume when Z$\not\subseteq$B+(D). Then, using some recent results of Birkar [Bir], we generalise to ${\mathbb R}$-divisors the two main results of [BCL]: The first, proved for smooth complex projective varieties by Ein, Lazarsfeld, Mustaţă, Nakamaye and Popa, is the characterisation of B+(D) as the union of subvarieties on which the (*)-restricted volume vanishes; the second is that X − B+(D) is the largest open subset on which the Kodaira map defined by large and divisible (*)-multiples of D is an isomorphism.
