Autour d'une conjecture de Kato et Kuzumaki

Abstract

In 1986, Kato and Kuzumaki stated several conjectures in order to give a diophantine characterization of cohomological dimension of fields. In this article, we first prove a local-global principle in this context for number fields. This allows us to give a new proof of one of Kato and Kuzumaki's conjectures for totally imaginary number fields (the first proof was given by Olivier Wittenberg). Our arguments can be generalized to get results for global fields of positive characteristic. We then establish all the conjectures for the fields $\mathbb{C}(x_1,...,x_n)$ and $\mathbb{C}(x_1,...,x_n)((t))$. We finally prove a partial result for the field of Laurent series in two variables $\mathbb{C}((x,y))$. En 1986, Kato et Kuzumaki ont formulé des conjectures cherchant à donner une caractérisation diophantienne de la dimension cohomologique des corps. Dans cet article, nous montrons d'abord un énoncé de type principe local-global dans ce contexte pour les corps de nombres. Cela nous permet de donner une nouvelle démonstration d'une des conjectures de Kato et Kuzumaki pour les corps de nombres totalement imaginaires (la première preuve étant due à Olivier Wittenberg). Nos arguments nous permettent aussi d'obtenir des résultats pour les corps globaux de caractéristique positive. Dans la suite de l'article, nous établissons toutes les conjectures de Kato et Kuzumaki pour les corps $\mathbb{C}(x_1,...,x_n)$ et $\mathbb{C}(x_1,...,x_n)((t))$. Nous montrons finalement un résultat partiel pour le corps de séries de Laurent à deux variables $\mathbb{C}((x,y))$.

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.
