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.

Abstract Demailly’s conjecture, which is a consequence of the Green–Griffiths–Lang conjecture on varieties of general type, states that an algebraically hyperbolic complex projective variety is Kobayashi hyperbolic. Our aim is to provide evidence for Demailly’s conjecture by verifying several predictions it makes. We first define what an algebraically hyperbolic projective variety is, extending Demailly’s definition to (not necessarily smooth) projective varieties over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and we prove that this property is stable under extensions of algebraically closed fields. Furthermore, we show that the set of (not necessarily surjective) morphisms from a projective variety Y to a projective algebraically hyperbolic variety X that map a fixed closed subvariety of Y onto a fixed closed subvariety of X is finite. As an application, we obtain that $${{\,\mathrm{Aut}\,}}(X)$$ Aut ( X ) is finite and that every surjective endomorphism of X is an automorphism. Finally, we explore “weaker” notions of hyperbolicity related to boundedness of moduli spaces of maps, and verify similar predictions made by the Green–Griffiths–Lang conjecture on hyperbolic projective varieties.

AbstractLetXbe a smooth complex projective variety with a holomorphic vector field with isolated zero setZ. From the results of Carrell and Lieberman there exists a filtrationF0⊂F1⊂ · · · ofA(Z), the ring of ℂ-valued functions onZ, such thatas graded algebras. In this note, for a smooth projective toric variety and a vector field generated by the action of a 1-parameter subgroup of the torus, we work out this filtration. Our main result is an explicit connection between this filtration and the polytope algebra ofX.

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.

Let (X, L) be a quasi-polarized pair, i.e. X is a normal complex projective variety and L is a nef and big line bundle on it. We study, up to birational equivalence, the positivity (nefness) of the adjoint bundles KX + rL for high rational numbers r. For this we run a Minimal Model Program with scaling relative to the divisor KX + rL. We give then some applications, namely the classification up to birational equivalence of quasi-polarized pairs with sectional genus 0, 1 and of embedded projective varieties X ⊂ ℙN with degree smaller than 2 codim ℙN(X) + 2.

AbstractWe initiate the study of the asymptotic topology of groups that can be realised as fundamental groups of smooth complex projective varieties with holomorphically convex universal covers (these are called here as holomorphically convex groups). We prove the H1-semistability conjecture of Geoghegan for holomorphically convex groups. In view of a theorem of Eyssidieux, Katzarkov, Pantev and Ramachandran [EKPR], this implies that linear projective groups satisfy the H1-semistability conjecture.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a smooth complex projective variety, [Formula: see text] a morphism to an abelian variety such that [Formula: see text] injects into [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be a line bundle on [Formula: see text]; denote by [Formula: see text] the minimum of [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. The so-called Clifford–Severi inequalities have been proven in [M. A. Barja, Generalized Clifford–Severi inequality and the volume of irregular varieties, Duke Math. J. 164(3) (2015) 541–568; M. A. Barja, R. Pardini and L. Stoppino, Linear systems on irregular varieties, J. Inst. Math. Jussieu (2019) 1–39; doi:10.1017/S1474748019000069]; in particular, for any [Formula: see text] there is a lower bound for the volume given by: [Formula: see text] and, if [Formula: see text] is pseudoeffective, [Formula: see text] In this paper, we characterize varieties and line bundles for which the above Clifford–Severi inequalities are equalities.

AbstractLet X be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus g, with g ≥ 2. Let N be a connected component of the moduli space of semistable principal PGLr (ℂ)-bundles over X; it is a normal unirational complex projective variety. We prove that the Brauer group of a desingularization of N is trivial.
