Generic Projections

AbstractLet X be a smooth projective variety of dimension n in Pr, and let π:X→Pn+c be a general linear projection, with c>0. In this paper we bound the scheme-theoretic complexity of the fibers of π. In his famous work on stable mappings, Mather extended the classical results by showing that the number of distinct points in the fiber is bounded by B:=n/c+1, and that, when n is not too large, the degree of the fiber (taking the scheme structure into account) is also bounded by B. A result of Lazarsfeld shows that this fails dramatically for n≫0. We describe a new invariant of the scheme-theoretic fiber that agrees with the degree in many cases and is always bounded by B. We deduce, for example, that if we write a fiber as the disjoint union of schemes Y′ and Y′′ such that Y′ is the union of the locally complete intersection components of Y, then deg Y′+deg Y′′red≤B. Our method also gives a sharp bound on the subvariety of Pr swept out by the l-secant lines of X for any positive integer l, and we discuss a corresponding bound for highly secant linear spaces of higher dimension. These results extend Ran’s ‘dimension +2 secant lemma’.

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.

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 paper we examine different problems regarding complete intersection varieties of high multidegree in a smooth complex projective variety. First we prove an existence theorem for jet differential equations that generalizes a theorem of Diverio. Then we show how one can deduce hyperbolicity for generic complete intersections of high multidegree and high codimension from the known results on hypersurfaces. Finally, motivated by a conjecture of Debarre, we focus on the positivity of the cotangent bundle of complete intersections, and prove some results towards this conjecture; among other things, we prove that a generic complete intersection surface of high multidegree in a projective space of dimension at least four has an ample cotangent bundle.

In this article, we prove a finiteness result on the number of log minimal models for 3-folds in $\operatorname{char}p>5$. We then use this result to prove a version of Batyrev’s conjecture on the structure of nef cone of curves on 3-folds in characteristic $p>5$. We also give a proof of the same conjecture in full generality in characteristic 0. We further verify that the duality of movable curves and pseudo-effective divisors hold in arbitrary characteristic. We then give a criterion for the pseudo-effectiveness of the canonical divisor $K_{X}$ of a smooth projective variety in arbitrary characteristic in terms of the existence of a family of rational curves on $X$.

Abstract Let R be a complete discrete valuation ring of equi-characteristic zero with fraction field K. Let X be a connected smooth projective variety of dimension d over K, and let L be an ample line bundle over X. We assume that there exist a regular strictly semistable model ${\mathscr {X}}$ of X over R and a relatively ample line bundle ${\mathscr {L}}$ over ${\mathscr {X}}$ with $\left .{{\mathscr {L}}}\right \vert_{{X}} \cong L$. Let $S({\mathscr {X}})$ be the skeleton associated to ${\mathscr {X}}$ in the Berkovich analytification Xan of X. In this article, we study when $S({\mathscr {X}})$ is faithfully tropicalized into tropical projective space by the adjoint linear system |L⊗m ⊗ ωX|. Roughly speaking, our results show that if m is an integer such that the adjoint bundle is basepoint free, then the adjoint linear system admits a faithful tropicalization of $S({\mathscr {X}})$.

Abstract Given a projective variety $X\subset\mathbb{P}^n$ of codimension $k+1$, the Chow hypersurface $Z_X$ is the hypersurface of the Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}(k, n)$ parametrizing projective linear spaces that intersect $X$. We introduce the tropical Chow hypersurface $\operatorname{Trop}(Z_X)$. This object only depends on the tropical variety $\operatorname{Trop}(X)$ and we provide an explicit way to obtain $\operatorname{Trop}(Z_X)$ from $\operatorname{Trop}(X)$. We also give a geometric description of $\operatorname{Trop}(Z_X)$. We conjecture that, as in the classical case, $\operatorname{Trop}(X)$ can be reconstructed from $\operatorname{Trop}(Z_X)$ and prove it for the case when $X$ is a curve in $\mathbb{P}^3$. This suggests that tropical Chow hypersurfaces could be the key to construct a tropical Chow variety.

The purpose of this paper is to study the containment problem for the corresponding ideal [Formula: see text] of a special zero dimensional subscheme [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], what we call a fat nearly-complete intersection. We show that for every positive integer [Formula: see text], the equality [Formula: see text] holds.
