Higgs line bundles, Green-Lazarsfeld sets,and maps of Kähler manifolds to curves
math.AG
Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. The set $\cha(X)$ of one-dimensional complex valued characters of the fundamental group of $X$ forms an algebraic group. Consider the subset of $\cha(X)$ consisting of those characters for which the corresponding local system has nontrivial cohomology in a given degree $d$. This ...

A theory of algebraic cocycles
math.AG
We introduce the notion of an algebraic cocycle as the algebraic analogue of a map to an Eilenberg-MacLane space. Using these cocycles we develop a ``cohomology theory" for complex algebraic varieties. The theory is bigraded, functorial, and admits Gysin maps. It carries a natural cup product and a pairing to $L$-homol...

Configuration spaces and the space of rational curves on a toric variety
math.AG
The space of holomorphic maps from $S^2$ to a complex algebraic variety $X$, i.e. the space of parametrized rational curves on $X$, arises in several areas of geometry. It is a well known problem to determine an integer $n(D)$ such that the inclusion of this space in the corresponding space of continuous maps induces i...

For any Lagrangean K\"ahler submanifold $M \subset T^*{\Bbb C}^n$, there exists a canonical hyper K\"ahler metric on $T^*M$. A K\"ahler potential for this metric is given by the generalized Calabi Ansatz of the theoretical physicists Cecotti, Ferrara and Girardello. This correspondence provides a method for the constru...

Quantum cohomology of projective bundles over P^n

On Rigidity and the Albanese Variety for Parallelizable Manifolds

We study the rigidity questions and the Albanese Variety for Complex Parallelizable Manifolds. Both are related to the study of the cohomology group $H^1(X,\mathcal O)$.

Germs of de Rham cohomology classes which vanish at the generic point

On a conjecture of Le Bruyn
math.AG
Given a generic field extension F/k of degree n>3 (i.e. the Galois group of the normal closure of F is isomorphic to the symmetric group $S_n$), we prove that the norm torus, defined as the kernel of the norm map $N:R_{F/k}(G_m)\to\G_m$, is not rational over k.

Mirror Symmetry and Toric Degenerations of Partial Flag Manifolds
math.AG
In this paper we propose and discuss a mirror construction for complete intersections in partial flag manifolds $F(n_1, ..., n_l, n)$. This construction includes our previous mirror construction for complete intersection in Grassmannians and the mirror construction of Givental for complete flag manifolds. The key idea ...

Triades et familles de courbes gauches
math.AG
Let $A$ be a noetherian ring and $R_A$ be the graded ring $A[X,Y,Z,T]$. In this article we introduce the notion of a triad, which is a generalization to families of curves in ${\bf P}^3_A$ of the notion of Rao module. A triad is a complex of graded $R_A$-modules $(L_1 \to L_0 \to L_{-1})$ with certain finiteness hypoth...

Albanese and Picard 1-motives
math.AG
We define, in a purely algebraic way, 1-motives $Alb^{+}(X)$, $Alb^{-}(X)$, $Pic^{+}(X)$ and $Pic^{-}(X)$ associated with any algebraic scheme $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. For $X$ over $\C$ of dimension $n$ the Hodge realizations are, respectively, $H^{2n-1}(X)(n)$, $H_{1}(X)$, $H^{1}(...

Chern classes and the periods of mirrors
math.AG
We show how Chern classes of a Calabi Yau hypersurface in a toric Fano manifold can be expressed in terms of the holomorphic at a maximal degeneracy point period of its mirror. We also consider the relation between Chern classes and the periods of mirrors for complete intersections in Grassmanian Gr(2,5).

A note on the symplectic structure on the space of G-monopoles
math.AG
Let $G$ be a semisimple complex Lie group with a Borel subgroup $B$. Let $X=G/B$ be the flag manifold of $G$. Let $C=P^1\ni\infty$ be the projective line. Let $\alpha\in H_2(X,{\Bbb Z})$. The moduli space of $G$-monopoles of topological charge $\alpha$ (see e.g. [Jarvis]) is naturally identified with the space $M_b(X,\...

A note on the factorization theorem of toric birational maps after Morelli and its toroidal extension
math.AG
The recent two proofs for the (weak) factorization theorem for birational maps, one by W{\l}odarczyk and the other by Abramovich-Karu-Matsuki-W{\l}odarczyk rely on the results of Morelli. The former uses the process for $\pi$-desingularization (the most subtle part of Morelli's combinatorial algorithm), while the latte...

Jacobian Conjecture and Nilpotent Mappings

We prove the equivalence of the Jacobian Conjecture (JC(n)) and the Conjecture on the cardinality of the set of fixed points of a polynomial nilpotent mapping (JN(n)) and prove a series of assertions confirming JN(n).

On a Chisini Conjecture
math.AG
Chisini's conjecture asserts that for a cuspidal curve $B\subset \mathbb P^2$ a generic morphism $f$ of a smooth projective surface onto $\mathbb P^2$ of degree $\geq 5$, branched along $B$, is unique up to isomorphism. We prove that if $\deg f$ is greater than the value of some function depending on the degree, genus,...

On the minimal free resolution of non-special curves in P^3
math.AG
Here we prove that the minimal free resolution of a general space curve of large degree (e.g. a general space curve of degree d and genus g with d g+3, except for finitely many pairs (d,g)) is the expected one. A similar result holds even for general curves with special hyperplane section and, roughly, d g/2. The proof...

Chow quotients and projective bundle formulas for Euler-Chow series

Given a projective algebraic variety $X$, let $\Pi_p(X)$ denote the monoid of effective algebraic equivalence classes of effective algebraic cycles on $X$. The $p$-th Euler-Chow series of $X$ is an element in the formal monoid-ring $Z[[\Pi_p(X)]]$ defined in terms of Euler characteristics of the Chow varieties $\cvpd{p...

We give a geometric interpretation of the base change homomorphism between the Hecke algebra of GL(n) for an unramified extension of local fields of positive characteristic. For this, we use some results of Ginzburg, Mirkovic and Vilonen related to the geometric Satake isomorphism. We give new proof for these results i...

Linear Systems of Plane Curves with Base Points of Equal Multiplicity

In this article we address the problem of computing the dimension of the space of plane curves of degree $d$ with $n$ general points of multiplicity $m$. A conjecture of Harbourne and Hirschowitz implies that when $d \geq 3m$, the dimension is equal to the expected dimension given by the Riemann-Roch Theorem. Also, sys...

Vector bundles on Fano 3-folds without intermediate cohomology
math.AG
We study the vector bundles without intermediate cohomology on Fano threefolds of index two, degree d=3,4,5 and Betti number one. We obtain a complete characterization in the case of rank-two vector bundles. For arbitrary rank, we give all possible Chern classes of such vector bundles, under some general condition.
