Abstract

Kawakami and the author showed that a projective variety with an int-amplified endomorphism of degree invertible in the base field satisfies Bott vanishing. That was a new way to analyze which varieties have nontrivial endomorphisms. In this paper, we extend that result to a logarithmic version of Bott vanishing for an endomorphism with a totally invariant divisor. We apply this to Fano 3-folds. Meng-Zhang-Zhong showed that the only smooth complex Fano 3-folds that admit an int-amplified endomorphism are the toric ones. Also, Achinger-Witaszek-Zdanowicz showed that the only smooth complex Fano 3-folds that are images of toric varieties are the toric ones. Using log Bott vanishing, we reprove both results and extend them to characteristic p, for morphisms of degree prime to p.

G3-Criteria and Applications

The G3-property of a subvariety was introduced by Hironaka-Matsumura, and plays an important role for deducing connectedness and extension results. Unfortunately, it's a rather elusive notion, which is not always easy to establish. Most of the existing work is concentrated on subvarieties of homogeneous varieties. The first goal of this article is to show that mobility assumptions on the subvariety, considered in works of Badescu, Chow, Debarre, Voisin, yield a certain partial positivity property, slightly stronger than G3, previously introduced by the author. Second, we apply the result to prove that, in numerous situations, the splitting of the normal bundle of a smooth two-codimensional subvariety implies that it is a complete intersection.

Nodal degeneration of chiral algebras I: Global structure and gluing formula

We define a natural extension of a universal factorization algebra $\mathcal{A}$ to families of stable punctured curves, by integrating over all semistable modifications. We prove that the resulting sheaf of factorization homology satisfies a natural gluing formula, by tensoring over a certain derived associative algebra $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^0$, generalizing the Verlinde formula for gluing of conformal blocks.
