The bounded height conjecture of Bombieri, Masser, and Zannier states that for any sufficiently generic algebraic subvariety of a semiabelian $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$-variety $G$ there is an upper bound on the Weil height of the points contained in its intersection with the union of all algebraic subgroups having (at most) complementary dimension in $G$. This conjecture has been shown by Habegger in the case where $G$ is either a multiplicative torus or an abelian variety. However, there are new obstructions to his approach if $G$ is a general semiabelian variety. In particular, the lack of Poincaré reducibility means that quotients of a given semiabelian variety are intricate to describe. To overcome this, we study directly certain families of line bundles on $G$. This allows us to demonstrate the conjecture for general semiabelian varieties.

AbstractWe ask when the CM (Castelnuovo–Mumford) regularity of a vector bundle on a projective variety X is numerical, and address the case when X is an abelian variety. We show that the continuous CM-regularity of a semihomogeneous vector bundle on an abelian variety X is a piecewise-constant function of Chern data, and we also use generic vanishing theory to obtain a sharp upper bound for the continuous CM-regularity of any vector bundle on X. From these results we conclude that the continuous CM-regularity of many semihomogeneous bundles — including many Verlinde bundles when X is a Jacobian — is both numerical and extremal.

We study questions surrounding cup-product maps which arise from pairs of non-degenerate line bundles on an abelian variety. Important to our work is Mumford's index theorem which we use to prove that non-degenerate line bundles exhibit positivity analogous to that of ample line bundles. As an application we determine the asymptotic behavior of families of cup-product maps and prove that vector bundles associated to these families are asymptotically globally generated. To illustrate our results we provide several examples. For instance, we construct families of cup-product problems which result in a zero map on a one-dimensional locus. We also prove that the hypothesis of our results can be satisfied, in all possible instances, by a particular class of simple abelian varieties. Finally, we discuss the extent to which Mumford's theta groups are applicable in our more general setting.

AbstractThe S-fundamental group scheme is the group scheme corresponding to the Tannaka category of numerically flat vector bundles. We use determinant line bundles to prove that the S-fundamental group of a product of two complete varieties is a product of their S-fundamental groups as conjectured by Mehta and the author. We also compute the abelian part of the S-fundamental group scheme and the S-fundamental group scheme of an abelian variety or a variety with trivial étale fundamental group.

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.

Abstract In this paper, we prove that a smooth projective variety X of characteristic p > 0 is an ordinary abelian variety if and only if KX is pseudo-effective and $F_{*}^{e}{\mathcal {O}}_{X}$ splits into a direct sum of line bundles for an integer e with pe > 2.

We show birationality of the morphism associated to line bundles L of type (1,…,1,2,…,2,4,…,4) on a generic g-dimensional abelian variety into its complete linear system such that h0(L) = 2g. When g = 3, we describe the image of the abelian threefold and from the geometry of the moduli space SUC(2) in the linear system |2θC|, we obtain analogous results in ℙH0(L).
