On a rigidity criterion for del Pezzo fibrations over ${\mathbb P}^1$

Abstract

We discuss the rigidity problem for Mori fibrations on del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1, 2 and 3 over ${\mathbb P}^1$ and formulate the following conjecture: such a del Pezzo fibration $V/{\mathbb P}^1$ is birationally rigid if and only if its quasi-effective and adjunction thresholds coincide. We prove the "only if" part of this conjecture.

On the geography of 3-folds via asymptotic behavior of invariants

We study the geography problem for 3-folds of general type through the asymptotic behavior of invariants of $n$-th root covers. We first prove, in arbitrary dimension and for non-singular branch loci, that the Chern numbers are asymptotic to $n$ times the corresponding logarithmic Chern numbers of the base pair. In dimension three, for simple normal crossing branch divisors, we construct cyclic partial resolutions using toric methods and prove that, for asymptotic arrangements, the invariants $c_1^3, c_1c_2$, and $c_3$ have the same asymptotic behavior. We also obtain explicit families of 3-folds with ample canonical divisors that exhibit controlled Chern slopes.

Lift-independence problem in the $p$-adic Simpson correspondence for curves

Let $X$ be a proper smooth rigid analytic variety over a complete algebraically closed $p$-adic field $\mathbf C$. Fix a continuation $\operatorname{Exp}$ of $\exp$. Faltings, in the curve case, and Heuer showed that any lifting $\widetilde X$ of $X$ over $B_{\mathrm{dR}}^+/t^2$ induces an equivalence between the category of Higgs bundles on $X_{\text{ét}}$ and the category of $v$-vector bundles on $X_v$. Changing $\widetilde X$ is known to alter the correspondence nontrivially. This raises the natural question of how the isomorphism class of the Higgs bundle associated with a fixed $v$-vector bundle varies with $\widetilde X$, a question that has not been systematically studied. In this paper, we address this question when $X$ is a curve of genus $g\ge 2$. More precisely, we call a Higgs bundle lift-independent if it corresponds to the same $v$-bundle under the $p$-adic Simpson correspondence for every lifting $\widetilde X$. We prove the following results. (1) Every lift-independent Higgs bundle of rank $r\le g$ is nilpotent. (2) Every semistable lift-independent Higgs bundle of rank $r\le \sqrt{g}+1$ has zero Higgs field. (3) In contrast, vanishing fails even within the class singled out by Faltings' conjecture: there always exists a lift-independent semistable Higgs bundle of degree $0$ with nonzero Higgs field.

On the topology of fibers of complex polynomial maps

We recast known results on the cohomology of fibers of complex polynomial maps, with particular emphasis on vanishing ranges, and establish new results on the vanishing cohomology of a polynomial at a bifurcation value. We also derive sharp upper bounds for the first possibly nonvanishing Betti number of general and atypical fibers in terms of local singularity invariants. These results extend several theorems of Tibăr, Siersma, Dimca, and others from the case of isolated singularities, including singularities at infinity, to polynomial maps with arbitrary singularities.
