Let X be a smooth projective variety over the complex number field. Let f : X → Y be a small contraction, and suppose that each irreducible component Ei of the exceptional locus E of f is a smooth subvariety. Assume that dim E ≤ ½ ( dim X + 1), and the normal bundle [Formula: see text]. Then each Ei ≅ P dim Ei or Q dim Ei. Moreover, the flip f+ : X+ → Y of f exists.

In 1969, Mumford [8] proved that, for a complete non-singular algebraic surface F over the complex number field C, the dimension of the Chow group of zero-cycles on F is infinite if the geometric genus of F is positive. To this end, he defined a regular 2-form ηf on a non-singular variety S for a regular 2-form η on F and for a morphism f: S → SnF, where SnF is the 72-th symmetric product of F, and he showed that ηf vanishes if all 0-cycles f(s), s ∈ S, are rationally equivalent. Roitman [9] later generalized this to a higher dimensional smooth projective variety V.

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.

Abstract We develop a local positivity theory for movable curves on projective varieties similar to the classical Seshadri constants of nef divisors. We give analogues of the Seshadri ampleness criterion, of a characterization of the augmented base locus of a big and nef divisor, and of the interpretation of Seshadri constants as an asymptotic measure of jet separation. As application, we show in any characteristic that if $C$ is a smooth curve with ample normal bundle in a smooth projective variety then the class of $C$ is in the strict interior of the Mori cone. This was conjectured by Peternell and proved by Ottem and Lau in Characteristic 0.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to study geometric properties of non-degenerate smooth projective varieties of small degree from a birational point of view. First, using the positivity property of double point divisors and the adjunction mappings, we classify smooth projective varieties in $\mathbb{P}$r of degree d ⩽ r + 2, and consequently, we show that such varieties are simply connected and rationally connected except in a few cases. This is a generalisation of P. Ionescu's work. We also show the finite generation of Cox rings of smooth projective varieties in $\mathbb{P}$r of degree d ⩽ r with counterexamples for d = r + 1, r + 2. On the other hand, we prove that a non-uniruled smooth projective variety in $\mathbb{P}$r of dimension n and degree d ⩽ n(r − n) + 2 is Calabi–Yau, and give an example that shows this bound is also sharp.

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.

A degeneration of K3 surfaces (over the complex number field) is a proper holomorphic map π: X→Δ from a three dimensional complex manifold to a disc, such that, for t ≠ 0, the fibres Xt = π-1(t) are smooth K3 surfaces (i.e. surfaces Xt with trivial canonical class KXt = 0 and dim H1(Xt, Oxt) = 0).

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.

AbstractLet (X, L) be a polarized manifold over the complex number field with dim X = n. In this paper, we consider a conjecture of M. C. Beltrametti and A. J. Sommese and we obtain that this conjecture is true if n = 3 and h0(L) ≥ 2, or dim Bs |L| ≤ 0 for any n ≥ 3. Moreover we can generalize the result of Sommese.

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 $X$.
