AbstractWe show that any birational selfmap of a complex projective surface that has dynamical degree greater than one and is defined over a number field automatically satisfies the Bedford–Diller energy condition after a suitable birational conjugacy. As a consequence, the complex dynamics of the map is well behaved. We also show that there is a well-defined canonical height function.

Abstract We show that if X is a smooth complex projective surface with torsion-free cohomology, then the Hilbert scheme $X^{[n]}$ has torsion-free cohomology for every natural number n. This extends earlier work by Markman on the case of Poisson surfaces. The proof uses Gholampour-Thomas’s reduced obstruction theory for nested Hilbert schemes of surfaces.

AbstractLet X be a nonsingular complex projective surface. The Weyl and Zariski chambers give two interesting decompositions of the big cone of X. Following the ideas of [T. Bauer and M. Funke, Weyl and Zariski chambers on K3 surfaces, Forum Math. 24 2012, 3, 609–625] and [S. A. Rams and T. Szemberg, When are Zariski chambers numerically determined?, Forum Math. 28 2016, 6, 1159–1166], we study these two decompositions and determine when a Weyl chamber is contained in the interior of a Zariski chamber and vice versa. We also determine when a Weyl chamber can intersect non-trivially with a Zariski chamber.

AbstractIn this note, we construct a sequence of l.t. surfaces (Xn)n ∈ ℕ such that KXn is ample for all n and such that (K2Xn)n ∈ ℕ is a strictly increasing series with limit equal to 1. This answers (in the affirmative) a question by Alexeev, cf. [Al], 11·1. Here, an l.t. surface is a normal complex projective surface with at most quotient singularities (which is the same as ‘at most log terminal singularities’). A main result of [Al] implies that it is impossible to find a sequence (Xn)n ∈ ℕ of l.t. surfaces with KXn ample for all n such that K2Xn is strictly decreasing. Although our construction is not too difficult, the example is new and has several interesting implications, see Section 4.Without further explanation, we use some fundamental tools concerning l.t. surfaces like Mumford's intersection theory or the notion of minimality; the reader should consult [Blb] and the references quoted there.

Smooth Deformation

Let S0 be a complex projective surface with only isolated Gorenstein singularities (see Introduction to (12)). By Serre's criterion ((4), p. 185) this is equivalent to saying that S0 is normal and Gorenstein. By an algebraic smooth deformation of S0, we shall mean a flat, proper morphism of varieties, ρ: say, with fibre ρ−1(y0) = S0 for some y0 ∈ Y and with the general fibre ρ−1(y) = S being a smooth surface. In the paper (12), we studied such smooth deformations of S0 and in particular the behaviour of the plurigenera Pn of the surfaces in the family. The main result of (12) was the fact that Pn(S0) ≤ Pn(S) for all positive integers n, where the choice of the particular smooth surface was irrelevant by a result of Iitaka(5). To prove the above result we introduced what were called the arithmetic plurigenera of S0, which we define again below. In this paper we shall study more closely these arithmetic quantities, and in the process answer some of the questions posed in (11).

Abstract We develop methods for constructing explicit generators, modulo torsion, of the $K_3$ -groups of imaginary quadratic number fields. These methods are based on either tessellations of hyperbolic $3$ -space or on direct calculations in suitable pre-Bloch groups and lead to the very first proven examples of explicit generators, modulo torsion, of any infinite $K_3$ -group of a number field. As part of this approach, we make several improvements to the theory of Bloch groups for $ K_3 $ of any field, predict the precise power of $2$ that should occur in the Lichtenbaum conjecture at $ -1 $ and prove that this prediction is valid for all abelian number fields.

AbstractLet K be a cyclic number field of odd degree over $${\mathbb {Q}}$$ Q with odd narrow class number, such that 2 is inert in $$K/{\mathbb {Q}}$$ K / Q . We define a family of number fields $$\{K(p)\}_p$$ { K ( p ) } p , depending on K and indexed by the rational primes p that split completely in $$K/{\mathbb {Q}}$$ K / Q , in which p is always ramified of degree 2. Conditional on a standard conjecture on short character sums, the density of such rational primes p that exhibit one of two possible ramified factorizations in $$K(p)/{\mathbb {Q}}$$ K ( p ) / Q is strictly between 0 and 1 and is given explicitly as a formula in terms of the degree of the extension $$K/{\mathbb {Q}}$$ K / Q . Our results are unconditional in the cubic case. Our proof relies on a detailed study of the joint distribution of spins of prime ideals.

A Finite Group

Let 𝕏 be a finite group of primitive Dirichlet characters. Let ξ = ∑χ∈𝕏 aχ χ be a nonzero element of the group ring ℤ[𝕏]. We investigate the smallest prime q that is coprime to the conductor of each χ ∈ 𝕏 and that satisfies ∑χ∈𝕏 aχ χ(q) ≠ 0. Our main result is a nontrivial upper bound on q valid for certain special forms ξ. From this, we deduce upper bounds on the smallest unramified prime with a given splitting type in an abelian number field. For example, let K/ℚ be an abelian number field of degree n and conductor f. Let g be a proper divisor of n. If there is any unramified rational prime q that splits into g distinct prime ideals in ØK, then the least such q satisfies [Formula: see text].

Principal Order

Let R be an order in an algebraic number field. If R is a principal order, then many explicit results on its arithmetic are available. Among others, R is half-factorial if and only if the class group of R has at most two elements. Much less is known for non-principal orders. Using a new semigroup theoretical approach, we study half-factoriality and further arithmetical properties for non-principal orders in algebraic number fields.
