Arithmetic Degree

Let be a dominant rational self-map of a smooth projective variety defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$. For each point $P\in X(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$ whose forward $f$-orbit is well defined, Silverman introduced the arithmetic degree $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}_{f}(P)$, which measures the growth rate of the heights of the points $f^{n}(P)$. Kawaguchi and Silverman conjectured that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}_{f}(P)$ is well defined and that, as $P$ varies, the set of values obtained by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}_{f}(P)$ is finite. Based on constructions by Bedford and Kim and by McMullen, we give a counterexample to this conjecture when $X=\mathbb{P}^{4}$.

Hyperkähler Varieties

The Hilbert scheme $X^{[3]}$ of length-3 subschemes of a smooth projective variety $X$ is known to be smooth and projective. We investigate whether the property of having a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition is stable under taking the Hilbert cube. This is achieved by considering an explicit resolution of the rational map $X^{3}{\dashrightarrow}X^{[3]}$. The case of the Hilbert square was taken care of in Shen and Vial [Mem. Amer. Math. Soc.240(1139) (2016), vii+163 pp]. The archetypical examples of varieties endowed with a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition is given by abelian varieties. Recent work seems to suggest that hyperKähler varieties share the same property. Roughly, if a smooth projective variety $X$ has a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition, then the Chow rings of its powers $X^{n}$ have a filtration, which is the expected Bloch–Beilinson filtration, that is split.

Abstract We prove a uniform version of the Dynamical Mordell–Lang Conjecture for étale maps; also, we obtain a gap result for the growth rate of heights of points in an orbit along an arbitrary endomorphism of a quasiprojective variety defined over a number field. More precisely, for our 1st result, we assume $X$ is a quasi-projective variety defined over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$, endowed with the action of an étale endomorphism $\Phi $, and $f\colon X\longrightarrow Y$ is a morphism with $Y$ a quasi-projective variety defined over $K$. Then for any $x\in X(K)$, if for each $y\in Y(K)$, the set $S_{x,y}:=\{n\in{\mathbb{N}}\colon f(\Phi ^n(x))=y\}$ is finite, then there exists a positive integer $N_x$ such that $\sharp S_{x,y}\le N_x$ for each $y\in Y(K)$. For our 2nd result, we let $K$ be a number field, $f:X\dashrightarrow{\mathbb{P}}^1$ is a rational map, and $\Phi $ is an arbitrary endomorphism of $X$. If ${\mathcal{O}}_{\Phi }(x)$ denotes the forward orbit of $x$ under the action of $\Phi $, then either $f({\mathcal{O}}_{\Phi }(x))$ is finite, or $\limsup _{n\to \infty } h(f(\Phi ^n(x)))/\log (n)>0$, where $h(\cdot )$ represents the usual logarithmic Weil height for algebraic points.

AbstractGiven a smooth projective variety, a Chow–Künneth decomposition is called multiplicative if it is compatible with the intersection product. Following works of Beauville and Voisin, Shen and Vial conjectured that hyper-Kähler varieties admit a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition. In this paper, based on the mysterious link between Fano varieties with cohomology of K3 type and hyper-Kähler varieties, we ask whether Fano varieties with cohomology of K3 type also admit a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition, and provide evidence by establishing their existence for cubic fourfolds and Küchle fourfolds of type c7. The main input in the cubic hypersurface case is the Franchetta property for the square of the Fano variety of lines; this was established in our earlier work in the fourfold case and is generalized here to arbitrary dimension. On the other end of the spectrum, we also give evidence that varieties with ample canonical class and with cohomology of K3 type might admit a multiplicative Chow–Künneth decomposition, by establishing this for two families of Todorov surfaces.

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.

Extremal Ray

Let X be a smooth projective variety of dimension n over the field of complex numbers. We denote by Kx the canonical bundle of X. By Mori's theory, if Kx is not numerically effective (i.e. if there exists a curve on X which has negative intersection number with Kx), then there exists an extremal ray ℝ+[C] on X and an elementary contraction fR: X → Y associated with ℝ+[C].fR is called a small contraction if it is bi-rational and an isomorphism in co-dimension one.

In this article, we prove a finiteness result on the number of log minimal models for 3-folds in $\operatorname{char}p>5$. We then use this result to prove a version of Batyrev’s conjecture on the structure of nef cone of curves on 3-folds in characteristic $p>5$. We also give a proof of the same conjecture in full generality in characteristic 0. We further verify that the duality of movable curves and pseudo-effective divisors hold in arbitrary characteristic. We then give a criterion for the pseudo-effectiveness of the canonical divisor $K_{X}$ of a smooth projective variety in arbitrary characteristic in terms of the existence of a family of rational curves on $X$.

Abstract 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 $S({\mathscr {X}})$.

Abstract Let $f \colon X \to Y$ be the blow-up of a smooth projective variety $Y$ along its codimension two smooth closed subvariety. In this paper, we show that the moduli space of stable sheaves on $X$ and $Y$ are connected by a sequence of flip-like diagrams. The result is a higher dimensional generalization of the result of Nakajima and Yoshioka, which is the case of $\dim Y=2$. As an application of our general result, we study the birational geometry of the Hilbert scheme of two points.
