The strength for line bundles

We introduce the strength for sections of a line bundle on an algebraic variety. This generalizes the strength of homogeneous polynomials that has been recently introduced to resolve Stillman's conjecture, an important problem in commutative algebra. We establish the first properties of this notion and give some tool to obtain upper bounds on the strength in this framework. Moreover, we show some results on the usual strength such as the reducibility of the set of strength two homogeneous polynomials.

Heat Kernels Estimates for Hermitian Line Bundles on Manifolds of Bounded Geometry

We consider a family of semiclassically scaled second-order elliptic differential operators on high tensor powers of a Hermitian line bundle (possibly, twisted by an auxiliary Hermitian vector bundle of arbitrary rank) on a Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry. We establish an off-diagonal Gaussian upper bound for the associated heat kernel. The proof is based on some tools from the theory of operator semigroups in a Hilbert space, results on Sobolev spaces adapted to the current setting, and weighted estimates with appropriate exponential weights.

aCM vector bundles on projective surfaces of nonnegative Kodaira dimension

In this paper, we contribute to the construction of families of arithmetically Cohen–Macaulay (aCM) indecomposable vector bundles on a wide range of polarized surfaces [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] an ample line bundle. In many cases, we show that for every positive integer [Formula: see text] there exists a family of indecomposable aCM vector bundles of rank [Formula: see text], depending roughly on [Formula: see text] parameters, and in particular they are of wild representation type. We also introduce a general setting to study the complexity of a polarized variety [Formula: see text] with respect to its category of aCM vector bundles. In many cases we construct indecomposable vector bundles on [Formula: see text] which are aCM for all ample line bundles on [Formula: see text].

Seshadri constants on principally polarized abelian surfaces with real multiplication

Seshadri constants on abelian surfaces are fully understood in the case of Picard number one. Little is known so far for simple abelian surfaces of higher Picard number. In this paper we investigate principally polarized abelian surfaces with real multiplication. They are of Picard number two and might be considered the next natural case to be studied. The challenge is to not only determine the Seshadri constants of individual line bundles, but to understand the whole Seshadri function on these surfaces. Our results show on the one hand that this function is surprisingly complex: on surfaces with real multiplication in $$\mathbb {Z}[\sqrt{e}]$$ Z [ e ] it consists of linear segments that are never adjacent to each other—it behaves like the Cantor function. On the other hand, we prove that the Seshadri function is invariant under an infinite group of automorphisms, which shows that it does have interesting regular behavior globally.

Injectivity theorem for pseudo-effective line bundles and its applications

We formulate and establish a generalization of Kollár’s injectivity theorem for adjoint bundles twisted by suitable multiplier ideal sheaves. As applications, we generalize Kollár’s torsion-freeness, Kollár’s vanishing theorem, and a generic vanishing theorem for pseudo-effective line bundles. Our approach is not Hodge theoretic but analytic, which enables us to treat singular Hermitian metrics with nonalgebraic singularities. For the proof of the main injectivity theorem, we use L 2 L^{2} -harmonic forms on noncompact Kähler manifolds. For applications, we prove a Bertini-type theorem on the restriction of multiplier ideal sheaves to general members of free linear systems.

Seshadri constants on some Quot schemes

Let E be a vector bundle of rank n on ℙ 1 {\mathbb{P}^{1}} . Fix a positive integer d. Let 𝒬 ⁢ ( E , d ) {\mathcal{Q}(E,d)} denote the Quot scheme of torsion quotients of E of degree d and let Gr ⁢ ( E , d ) {\mathrm{Gr}(E,d)} denote the Grassmann bundle that parametrizes the d-dimensional quotients of the fibers of E. We compute Seshadri constants of ample line bundles on 𝒬 ⁢ ( E , d ) {\mathcal{Q}(E,d)} and Gr ⁢ ( E , d ) {\mathrm{Gr}(E,d)} .

Non-Archimedean volumes of metrized nef line bundles

Let $L$ be a line bundle on a proper, geometrically reduced scheme $X$ over a non-trivially valued non-Archimedean field $K$. Roughly speaking, the non-Archimedean volume of a continuous metric on the Berkovich analytification of $L$ measures the asymptotic growth of the space of small sections of tensor powers of $L$. For a continuous semipositive metric on $L$ in the sense of Zhang, we show first that the non-Archimedean volume agrees with the energy. The existence of such a semipositive metric yields that $L$ is nef. A second result is that the non-Archimedean volume is differentiable at any semipositive continuous metric. These results are known when $L$ is ample, and the purpose of this paper is to generalize them to the nef case. The method is based on a detailed study of the content and the volume of a finitely presented torsion module over the (possibly non-noetherian) valuation ring of $K$.
