Sur une conjecture de Kato et Kuzumaki concernant les hypersurfaces de Fano

Abstract

Nous montrons que les corps p-adiques et les corps de nombres totalement imaginaires v\'erifient la propri\'et\'e C_1^1 conjectur\'ee par Kato et Kuzumaki en 1986. Autrement dit, si k est l'un de ces corps et f(x_0, ..., x_n) est un polyn\^ome homog\`ene de degr\'e au plus n \`a coefficients dans k, tout \'el\'ement de k s'\'ecrit comme produit de normes depuis des extensions finies de k dans lesquelles f admet un z\'ero non trivial. Nous \'etablissons aussi la conjecture d'Ax sur les corps pseudo-alg\'ebriquement clos parfaits pour les corps dont le groupe de Galois absolu est un pro-p-groupe. ----- We prove that p-adic fields as well as totally imaginary number fields satisfy the C_1^1 property conjectured by Kato and Kuzumaki in 1986. In other words, if k denotes such a field and f(x_0, ..., x_n) is a homogeneous polynomial of degree at most n with coefficients in k, every element of k may be written as a product of norms from finite extensions of k in which f possesses a nontrivial zero. As a by-product of the proof, we also establish Ax's conjecture about perfect pseudo-algebraically closed fields for fields whose absolute Galois group is a pro-p-group.

Perverse Euler Characteristics of Hermitian Locally Symmetric Spaces

We prove that finite-volume locally Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type have nonnegative perverse Euler characteristics. To show this, we obtain a nefness result for the logarithmic cotangent bundle of a smooth toroidal compactification. Combining this with a positivity criterion for Euler characteristics of perverse sheaves, we deduce the nonnegativity result. We further prove that the inequality is strict for perverse sheaves with full support. As applications, we get nonnegativity results for perverse Euler characteristics on various moduli spaces.

Coupled Pklt Tuples and Varieties of Pklt Type

We introduce asymptotic multiplier ideal sheaves and log canonical thresholds associated with tuples of pseudoeffective divisors on a projective klt pair. We prove that the threshold of a coupled potentially klt tuple is computed by a quasi-monomial valuation. For varieties of potentially klt type, we prove that every big divisor admits a birational Zariski decomposition with semiample positive part. We also prove finite generation of multisection rings of big divisors and give a criterion for a variety of potentially klt type to be a Mori dream space.

Graded Betti numbers of general curves of large degree

Let $C$ be a smooth projective complex curve of genus $g$ and gonality $k$, and $L$ be a very ample line bundle on $C$. When $L$ has sufficiently large degree, the vanishing and nonvanishing of the Koszul cohomology groups $K_{p,q}(C,L)$ have been determined previously, but the exact values of the graded Betti numbers $\kappa_{p,q}(C, L)$ remain largely unknown. In this paper, we give explicit closed formulas for all graded Betti numbers $\kappa_{p,q}(C, L)$ when the Brill--Noether locus $W_k^1(C)$ has the expected dimension and $H^1(C, L \otimes \omega_C^{-1})=0$. Consequently, we determine the complete Betti table for a general curve when $\deg L \geq 4g-3$ or when $\deg L \geq 3g-3$ and $L$ is general. We also explicitly compute the Boij--S\"{o}derberg coefficient of the section ring $R(C, L)$ governing asymptotic purity, and show eventual monotonicity of the remaining coefficients: they decrease for hyperelliptic curves and increase under a natural generic reducedness assumption on the relevant Brill--Noether loci.
