    On the connectedness principle and dual complexes for generalized pairs

    No full text
    Let (X,B)(X,B) be a pair, and let f ⁣:XSf \colon X \rightarrow S be a contraction with (KX+B)-(K_X + B) nef over SS. A conjecture, known as the Shokurov-Koll\'{a}r connectedness principle, predicts that f1(s)Nklt(X,B)f^{-1} (s) \cap \mathrm{Nklt}(X,B) has at most two connected components, where sSs \in S is an arbitrary schematic point and Nklt(X,B)\mathrm{Nklt}(X,B) denotes the non-klt locus of (X,B)(X,B). In this work, we prove this conjecture, characterizing those cases in which Nklt(X,B)\mathrm{Nklt}(X,B) fails to be connected, and we extend these same results also to the category of generalized pairs. Finally, we apply these results and the techniques to the study of the dual complex for generalized log Calabi-Yau pairs, generalizing results of Koll\'{a}r-Xu and Nakamura.Comment: Final version, to appear in "Forum of Mathematics, Sigma

    Hyperbolicity for log canonical pairs and the cone theorem

    No full text
    Given a log canonical pair (X, Delta), we show that K-X + Delta is nef assuming there is no non-constant map from the affine line with values in the open strata of the stratification induced by the non-klt locus of (X, Delta). This implies a generalization of the Cone Theorem where each K-X + Delta-negative extremal ray is spanned by a rational curve that is the closure of a copy of the affine line contained in one of the open strata of Nklt(X, Delta). Moreover, we give a criterion of Nakai type to determine when under the above condition K-X + Delta is ample and we prove some partial results in the case of arbitrary singularities

    A geometric characterization of toric singularities

    No full text
    Given a projective contraction π ⁣:XZ\pi \colon X\rightarrow Z and a log canonical pair (X,B)(X, B) such that (KX+B)-(K_X+B) is nef over a neighborhood of a closed point zZz\in Z, one can define an invariant, the complexity of (X,B)(X, B) over zZz \in Z, comparing the dimension of XX and the relative Picard number of X/ZX/Z with the sum of the coefficients of those components of BB intersecting the fibre over zz. We prove that the complexity of (X,B)(X,B) over zZz\in Z is non-negative and that when it is zero then (X,B)Z(X,\lfloor B \rfloor) \rightarrow Z is formally isomorphic to a morphism of toric varieties around zZz\in Z. In particular, considering the case when π\pi is the identity morphism, we get a geometric characterization of singularities that are formally isomorphic to toric singularities. This gives a positive answer to a conjecture due to Shokurov.Etant donné une contraction projective π ⁣:XZ\pi \colon X \to Z et une paire log canonique (X,B)(X, B) telle que (KX+B)-(K_X+B) soit numeriquement effectif sur un voisinage d'un point fermé zZz \in Z, on peut définir un invariant, la complexité de (X,B)(X, B) sur zZz \in Z, en comparant la dimension de XX et le nombre de Picard relatif de X/ZX/Z avec la somme des coefficients des composantes de BB qui intersectent la fibre sur zz. Nous demonstrons que, dans les hypothèses ci-dessus, la complexité de la paire logarithmique (X,B)(X, B) sur zZz\in Z est non-négative, et que, lorsqu'elle est nulle, alors (X,B)Z(X, \lfloor B \rfloor) \to Z est formellement isomorphe à un morphisme de variétés toriques autour de zZz \in Z. En particulier, en considérant le cas où π\pi est le morphisme d'identité, on obtient une caractérisation géométrique des singularités qui sont formellement isomorphes aux singularités toriques, résolvant ainsi une conjecture de Shokurov

    Effective algebraic integration in bounded genus

    No full text
    We introduce and study birational invariants for foliations on projective surfaces built from the adjoint linear series of positive powers of the canonical bundle of the foliation. We apply the results in order to investigate the effective algebraic integration of foliations on the projective plane. In particular, we describe the Zariski closure of the set Σd,g\Sigma_{d,g} of foliations on P2\mathbb P^2 of degree dd admitting rational first integrals with fibers having geometric genus bounded by gg

    Birational boundedness of low-dimensional elliptic Calabi-Yau varieties with a section

    No full text
    We prove that there are finitely many families, up to isomorphism in codimension one, of elliptic Calabi-Yau manifolds Y -> X with a rational section, provided that dim(Y) <= 5 and Y is not of product type. As a consequence, we obtain that there are finitely many possibilities for the Hodge diamond of such manifolds. The result follows from log birational boundedness of Kawamata log terminal pairs (X, Delta) with K-X + Delta numerically trivial and not of product type, in dimension at most four

    Local and global applications of the Minimal Model Program for co-rank one foliations on threefolds

    No full text
    We provide several applications of the minimal model program to the local and global study of co-rank one foliations on threefolds. Locally, we prove a singular variant of Malgrange's theorem, a classification of terminal foliation singularities and the existence of separatrices for log canonical singularities. Globally, we prove termination of flips, a connectedness theorem on lc centres, a non-vanshing theorem and some hyperbolicity properties of foliations.Comment: 55 pages; new version taking into account referee comments, to appear in JEM

    Rational curves and strictly nef divisors on Calabi--Yau threefolds

    No full text
    We give a criterion for a nef divisor D to be semi-ample on a Calabi-Yau threefold X when D3=0=c2(X)⋅D and c3(X)≠0. As a direct consequence, we show that on such a variety X, if D is strictly nef and ν(D)≠1, then D is ample; we also show that if there exists a Cariter divisor D≢0 in the boundary of the nef cone of X, then X contains a rational curve when its topological Euler characteristic is not 0

    Boundedness of elliptic Calabi-Yau varieties with a rational section

    No full text
    We show that for each fixed dimension d2d\geq 2, the set of dd-dimensional klt elliptic varieties with numerically trivial canonical bundle is bounded up to isomorphism in codimension one, provided that the torsion index of the canonical class is bounded and the elliptic fibration admits a rational section. This case builds on an analogous boundedness result for the set of rationally connected log Calabi-Yau pairs with bounded torsion index. In dimension 33, we prove the more general statement that the set of ϵ\epsilon-lc pairs (X,B)(X,B) with (KX+B)-(K_X +B) nef and rationally connected XX is bounded up to isomorphism in codimension one

    Effective generation for foliated surfaces: Results and applications

    No full text
    We prove some results on the birational structure and invariants of a foliated surface (X,F)(X, \mathcal F) in terms of the adjoint divisor KF+ϵKXK_{\mathcal F}+\epsilon K_X, 0 < \epsilon \ll 1. Several applications of these ideas are considered as well
