AbstractLet ϕ: X → M be a morphism from a smooth irreducible complex quasi-projective variety X to a Grassmannian variety M such that the image is of dimension ≥ 2. Let D be a reduced hypersurface in M, and γ a general linear automorphism of M. We show that, under a certain differentialgeometric condition on ϕ(X) and D, the fundamental group π1((γ ○ ϕ)−1 (M \ D)) is isomorphic to a central extension of π1(M \ D) × π1(X) by the cokernel of π2(ϕ) : π2(X) → π2(M).

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.

1. Let k be an infinite field and let V/k be an irreducible variety of dimension ≧ 2 in a projective n-space Pn over k. Let P and Q be two k-rational points on V In this paper, we describe ideal-theoretically the generic hyperplane section of V through P and Q (Theorem 1) and prove that the section is almost always an absolutely irreducible variety over k1/pe if V/k is absolutely irreducible (Theorem 3). As an application (Theorem 4), we give a new simple proof of an important special case of the existence of a curve connecting two rational points of an absolutely irreducible variety [4], namely any two k-rational points on V/k can be connected by an irreducible curve.I wish to thank Professor A. Seidenberg for his continued advice and encouragement on my thesis research.

Conditions are given for a class 2 nilpotent group to have no central extensions of class 3. This is related to Betti numbers and to the problem of representing a class 2 nilpotent group as the fundamental group of a smooth projective variety.

Abstract Relying on a notion of “numerical effectiveness” for Higgs bundles, we show that the category of “numerically flat” Higgs vector bundles on a smooth projective variety X is a Tannakian category. We introduce the associated group scheme, that we call the “Higgs fundamental group scheme of X,” and show that its properties are related to a conjecture about the vanishing of the Chern classes of numerically flat Higgs vector bundles.

In this paper, we study the singularities of a general hyperplane section $H$ of a three-dimensional quasi-projective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We prove that if $X$ has only canonical singularities, then $H$ has only rational double points. We also prove, under the assumption that $p>5$, that if $X$ has only klt singularities, then so does $H$.

Let K be a function field of one variable over a perfect field k and let v be a valuation of K over k. Then is the different-divisor (Verzweigungsdivisor) of K/k(x), and (x)∞ is the denominator-divisor (Nennerdivisor) of x. In §1 we consider a generalization of this theorem in the function fields of many variables under some conditions. In §2 and §3 we consider the differential forms of the first kind on algebraic varieties, or the differential forms which are finite at every simple point of normal varieties and subadjoint hypersurfaces which are developed by Clebsch and Picard in the classical case. In §4 we give a proof of the following theorem. Let Vr be a normal projective variety defined over a field k of characteristic 0, and let ω1, …, ωs be linearly independent simple closed differential forms which are finite at every simple point of Vr. Then the induced forms on a generic hyperplane section are also linearly independent.
