Abstract Let {{k}} be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and let {f:X\to Y} be a morphism of smooth projective varieties over the ring {k((t))} of formal Laurent series. We prove that if a general geometric fiber of f is rationally connected, then the induced map {f^{\mathrm{an}}:X^{\mathrm{an}}\to Y^{\mathrm{an}}} between the Berkovich analytifications of X and Y is a homotopy equivalence. Two important consequences of this result are that the Berkovich analytification of any {\mathbb{P}^{n}} -bundle over a smooth projective {k((t))} -variety is homotopy equivalent to the Berkovich analytification of the base, and that the Berkovich analytification of a rationally connected smooth projective variety over {k((t))} is contractible.

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.

In this paper we are dealing with the following problem: determine all normal (or smooth) projective varieties X over an algebraically closed field k supporting a given variety Y as an ample Cartier divisor.

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.

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.

AbstractWe prove that the vanishing of the functoriality morphism for the étale fundamental group between smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ forces the same property for the fundamental groups of stratifications.

In this paper varieties are always assumed to be defined over the field [Copf ] of complex numbers.Given a smooth projective variety Z, the classification of smooth projective varieties X containing Z as an ample divisor occupies an extremely important position in the theory of polarized varieties and it is well-known that the structure of Z imposes severe restrictions on that of X. Inspired by this philosophy, we set up the following condition ([midast ]) in [LM1] in order to generalize several results on ample divisors to ample vector bundles:([midast ]) [Escr ] is an ample vector bundle of rank r [ges ] 2 on a smooth projective variety X of dimension n such that there exists a global section s ∈ Γ([Escr ]) whose zero locus Z = (s)0 is a smooth subvariety of X of dimension n − r [ges ] 1.

AbstractFor certain product varieties, Murre's conjecture on Chow groups is investigated. More precisely, let k be an algebraically closed field, X be a smooth projective variety over k and C be a smooth projective irreducible curve over k with function field K. Then we prove that if X (resp. XK) satisfies Murre's conjectures (A) and (B) for a set of Chow-Künneth projectors {, 0 ≤ i ≤ 2dim X} of X (resp. for {()K} of XK) and if for any j, , then the product variety X × C also satisfies Murre's conjectures (A) and (B). As consequences, it is proved that if C is a curve and X is an elliptic modular threefold over k (an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0) or an abelian variety of dimension 3, then Murre's conjecture (B) is true for the fourfold X × C.

We show that the torsion in the group of indecomposable $(2,1)$-cycles on a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field is isomorphic to a twist of its Brauer group, away from the characteristic. In particular, this group is infinite as soon as $b_{2}-{\it\rho}>0$. We derive a new insight into Roǐtman’s theorem on torsion $0$-cycles over a surface.

We investigate the deformations of pairs [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a line bundle on a smooth projective variety [Formula: see text], defined over an algebraically closed field [Formula: see text] of characteristic 0. In particular, we prove that the DG-Lie algebra controlling the deformations of the pair [Formula: see text] is homotopy abelian whenever [Formula: see text] has trivial canonical bundle, and so these deformations are unobstructed.
