Z\'ero-cycles sur les surfaces de del Pezzo (Variations sur un th\`eme de Daniel Coray)

Abstract

In 1974, D. Coray showed that on a smooth cubic surface with a closed point of degree prime to 3 there exists such a point of degree 1, 4 or 10. We first show how a combination of generisation, specialisation, Bertini theorems and large fields avoids considerations of special cases in his argument. For smooth cubic surfaces with a rational point, we show that any zero-cycle of degree at least 10 is rationally equivalent to an effective cycle. We establish analogues of these results for del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2 and of degree 1. For smooth cubic surfaces without a rational point, we relate the question whether there exists a degree 3 point which is not on a line to the question whether rational points are dense on a del Pezzo surface of degree 1. ---- Une surface cubique lisse qui poss\`ede un point ferm\'e de degr\'e premier \`a 3 poss\`ede un tel point de degr\'e 1, 4 ou 10 (Coray, 1974). Un m\'elange de g\'en\'erisation, de sp\'ecialisation, de th\'eor\`emes de Bertini et d'utilisation des corps fertiles donne de la souplesse \`a sa m\'ethode. Pour les surfaces cubiques avec un point rationnel, on montre que tout z\'ero-cycle de degr\'e au moins 10 est rationnellement \'equivalent \`a un z\'ero-cycle effectif. On \'etablit l'analogue de ces r\'esultats pour les surfaces de del Pezzo de degr\'e 2 et de degr\'e 1. On discute l'existence de points ferm\'es de degr\'e 3 non align\'es sur une surface cubique sans point rationnel. On la relie \`a la question de la densit\'e des points rationnels sur une surface de del Pezzo de degr\'e 1.

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.
