This paper continues the study of non-general type subvarieties begun in a joint paper with Schneider and Sommese [14]. We prove uniruledness of a projective manifold containing a submanifold not of general type whose normal bundle has positivity properties and study moreover the rational quotient. We also relate the fundamental groups and a prove a cohomological criterion for a manifold to be rationally connected (weak version of a conjecture of Mumford).

Abstract Given a Kähler fiber space p : X → Y {p:X\to Y} whose generic fiber is of general type, we prove that the fiberwise singular Kähler–Einstein metric induces a semipositively curved metric on the relative canonical bundle K X / Y {K_{X/Y}} of p. We also propose a conjectural generalization of this result for relative twisted Kähler–Einstein metrics. Then we show that our conjecture holds true if the Lelong numbers of the twisting current are zero. Finally, we explain the relevance of our conjecture for the study of fiberwise Song–Tian metrics (which represent the analogue of KE metrics for fiber spaces whose generic fiber has positive but not necessarily maximal Kodaira dimension).

Abstract A special cubic fourfold is a smooth hypersurface of degree 3 and dimension 4 that contains a surface not homologous to a complete intersection. Special cubic fourfolds give rise to a countable family of Noether–Lefschetz divisors {{\mathcal{C}}_{d}} in the moduli space {{\mathcal{C}}} of smooth cubic fourfolds. These divisors are irreducible 19-dimensional varieties birational to certain orthogonal modular varieties. We use the “low-weight cusp form trick” of Gritsenko, Hulek, and Sankaran to obtain information about the Kodaira dimension of {{\mathcal{C}}_{d}} . For example, if {d=6n+2} , then we show that {{\mathcal{C}}_{d}} is of general type for {n>18} , {n\notin\{20,21,25\}} ; it has nonnegative Kodaira dimension if {n>13} and {n\neq 15} . In combination with prior work of Hassett, Lai, and Nuer, our investigation leaves only twenty values of d for which no information on the Kodaira dimension of {{\mathcal{C}}_{d}} is known. We discuss some questions pertaining to the arithmetic of K3 surfaces raised by our results.

Abstract Let X be a complex projective manifold, L an ample line bundle on X, and assume that we have a ℂ* action on (X;L). We classify such triples (X; L;ℂ*) for which the closure of a general orbit of the ℂ* action is of degree ≤ 3 with respect to L and, in addition, the source and the sink of the action are isolated fixed points, and the ℂ* action on the normal bundle of every fixed point component has weights ±1. We treat this situation by relating it to the classical adjunction theory. As an application, we prove that contact Fano manifolds of dimension 11 and 13 are homogeneous if their group of automorphisms is reductive of rank ≥ 2.

Let [Formula: see text] be a general Fano complete intersection of type [Formula: see text]. If at least one [Formula: see text] is greater than [Formula: see text], we show that [Formula: see text] contains rational curves of degree [Formula: see text] with balanced normal bundle. If all [Formula: see text] are [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we show that [Formula: see text] contains rational curves of degree [Formula: see text] with balanced normal bundle. As an application, we prove a stronger version of the theorem of Tian [27], Chen and Zhu [4] that [Formula: see text] is separably rationally connected by exhibiting very free rational curves in [Formula: see text] of optimal degrees.

We study the Iitaka–Kodaira dimension of nef relative anti-canonical divisors. As a consequence, we prove that given a complex projective variety with klt singularities, if the anti-canonical divisor is nef, then the dimension of a general fibre of the maximal rationally connected fibration is at least the Iitaka–Kodaira dimension of the anti-canonical divisor.

Let ℒ be a very ample line bundle on ℳ, a projective manifold of dimension n ≥3. Under the assumption that Kℳ + (n-2) ℒ has Kodaira dimension n, we study the degree of the map ϕ associated to the complete linear system |2(KM + (n-2) L)|, where (M, L) is the first reduction of (ℳ, ℒ). In particular we show that under a number of conditions, e.g. n ≥ 5 or Kℳ + (n-3)ℒ having nonnegative Kodaira dimension, the degree of ϕ is one, i.e. ϕ is birational. We also show that under a mild condition on the linear system |KM + (n-2) L| satisfied for all known examples, ϕ is birational unless (ℳ, ℒ) is a three dimensional variety with very restricted invariants. Moreover there is an example with these invariants such that deg ϕ= 2.

Let X be a complex, rationally connected, projective manifold. We show that X admits a modification [Formula: see text] that contains a quasi-line, i.e. a smooth rational curve whose normal bundle is a direct sum of copies of [Formula: see text]. For manifolds containing quasi-lines, a sufficient condition of rationality is exploited: there is a unique quasi-line from a given family passing through two general points. We define a numerical birational invariant, e(X), and prove that X is rational if and only if e(X)=1. If X is rational, there is a modification [Formula: see text] which is strongly-rational, i.e. contains an open subset isomorphic to an open subset of the projective space whose complement is at least 2-codimensional. We prove that strongly-rational varieties are stable under smooth, small deformations. The argument is based on a convenient characterization of these varieties. Finally, we relate the previous results and formal geometry. This relies on ẽ(X, Y), a numerical invariant of a given quasi-line Y that depends only on the formal completion [Formula: see text]. As applications we show various instances in which X is determined by [Formula: see text]. We also formulate a basic question about the birational invariance of ẽ(X, Y).

It was conjectured by Lang that a complex projective manifold is Kobayashi hyperbolic if and only if it is of general type together with all of its subvarieties. We verify this conjecture for projective manifolds whose universal cover carries a bounded, strictly plurisubharmonic function. This includes in particular compact free quotients of bounded domains. Comment: 10 pages, no figures, comments are welcome. v3: following suggestions made by the referee, the exposition has been improved all along the paper, we added a variant of Theorem A which includes manifolds whose universal cover admits a bounded psh function which is strictly psh just at one point, and we added a section of examples. Final version, to appear on \'Epijournal G\'eom. Alg\'ebrique

This chapter discusses complex algebraic surfaces, with particular emphasis on the Miyaoka-Yau inequality and the rough classification of surfaces. Every complex algebraic surface is birationally equivalent to a smooth surface containing no exceptional curves. The latter is known as a minimal surface. Two related birational invariants, the plurigenus and the Kodaira dimension, play an important role in distinguishing between complex surfaces. The chapter first provides an overview of the rough classification of (smooth complex connected compact algebraic) surfaces before presenting two approaches that, in dimension 2, give the Miyaoka-Yau inequality. The first, due to Miyaoka, uses algebraic geometry, whereas the second, due to Aubin and Yau, uses analysis and differential geometry. The chapter also explains why equality in the Miyaoka-Yau inequality characterizes surfaces of general type that are free quotients of the complex 2-ball.
