Characterizing some polarized Fano fibrations via Hilbert curves

The Hilbert curve of a complex polarized manifold [Formula: see text] is the complex affine plane curve of degree [Formula: see text] defined by the Hilbert-like polynomial [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the canonical bundle of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are regarded as complex variables. A natural expectation is that this curve encodes several properties of the pair [Formula: see text]. In particular, the existence of a fibration of [Formula: see text] over a variety of smaller dimension induced by a suitable adjoint bundle to [Formula: see text] translates into the fact that the Hilbert curve has a quite special shape. Along this line, Hilbert curves of special varieties like Fano manifolds with low coindex, as well as fibrations over low-dimensional varieties having such a manifold as general fiber, endowed with appropriate polarizations, are investigated. In particular, several polarized manifolds relevant for adjunction theory are completely characterized in terms of their Hilbert curves.

Cohomology of Flat Principal Bundles

We invoke the classical fact that the algebra of bi-invariant forms on a compact connected Lie group G is naturally isomorphic to the de Rham cohomology H*dR(G) itself. Then, we show that when a flat connection A exists on a principal G-bundle P, we may construct a homomorphism EA: H*dR(G)→H*dR(P), which eventually shows that the bundle satisfies a condition for the Leray–Hirsch theorem. A similar argument is shown to apply to its adjoint bundle. As a corollary, we show that that both the flat principal bundle and its adjoint bundle have the real coefficient cohomology isomorphic to that of the trivial bundle.

Effective Faithful Tropicalizations Associated to Adjoint Linear Systems

Let R be a complete discrete valuation ring of equi-characteristic zero with fraction field K. Let X be a connected smooth projective variety of dimension d over K, and let L be an ample line bundle over X. We assume that there exist a regular strictly semistable model ${\mathscr {X}}$ of X over R and a relatively ample line bundle ${\mathscr {L}}$ over ${\mathscr {X}}$ with $\left .{{\mathscr {L}}}\right \vert_{{X}} \cong L$. Let $S({\mathscr {X}})$ be the skeleton associated to ${\mathscr {X}}$ in the Berkovich analytification Xan of X. In this article, we study when $S({\mathscr {X}})$ is faithfully tropicalized into tropical projective space by the adjoint linear system |L⊗m ⊗ ωX|. Roughly speaking, our results show that if m is an integer such that the adjoint bundle is basepoint free, then the adjoint linear system admits a faithful tropicalization of $S({\mathscr {X}})$.

Some applications of the theory of harmonic integrals

In this survey, we present recent techniques on the theory of harmonic integrals to study the cohomology groups of the adjoint bundle with the multiplier ideal sheaf of singular metrics. As an application, we give an analytic version of the injectivity theorem.

Monodromy group for a strongly semistable principal bundle over a curve, II

Let X be a geometrically irreducible smooth projective curve defined over a field k. Assume that X has a k–rational point; fix a k–rational point x ε X. From these data we construct an affine group scheme X defined over the field k as well as a principal X–bundle over the curve X. The group scheme X is given by a ℚ–graded neutral Tannakian category built out of all strongly semistable vector bundles over X. The principal bundle is tautological. Let G be a linear algebraic group, defined over k, that does not admit any nontrivial character which is trivial on the connected component, containing the identity element, of the reduced center of G. Let EG be a strongly semistable principal G–bundle over X. We associate to EG a group scheme M defined over k, which we call the monodromy group scheme of EG, and a principal M–bundle EM over X, which we call the monodromy bundle of EG. The group scheme M is canonically a quotient of X, and EM is the extension of structure group of . The group scheme M is also canonically embedded in the fiber Ad(EG)x over x of the adjoint bundle.

On relative base point freeness of adjoint bundle

We give an effective result on the relative base point freeness of an adjoint bundle for a pair of a projective morphism and a relatively ample line bundle.

Seifert-fibred homology 3-spheres,V-surfaces and the Floer index

Let Σ be a Seifert-fibred homology 3-sphere. We are interested in the chain complex for the Floer homology of Σ. This is generated by the critical points of the ChernSimons functional acting on the moduli space of irreducibleSU(2)-connections modulo gauge-equivalence, i.e. the equivalence classes of flat connections: see [6]. Specifically, we ask the question: given the holonomy ρ of a flat connectionCρ, what is the index ofCρin the chain complex? By definition thisFloer indexis given by the spectral flow of a family of twisted signature operators with coefficients in the adjoint bundle (with fibre su(2)) corresponding to any path of connections joining the trivial connection toCρ. We will calculate this spectral flow by an almost entirely direct method, obtaining a formula in terms of the dimensions of spaces of π1(Σ)- automorphic functions. These dimensions will be evaluated to give the numerical result previously obtained using a different method by Fintushel and Stern: see [5].
