Semispecial tensors and quotients of the polydisc
Abstract
Let $X$ be a complex-projective variety with klt singularities and ample canonical divisor. We prove that $X$ is a quotient of the polydisc by a group acting properly discontinuously and freely in codimension one if and only if $X$ admits a semispecial tensor with reduced hypersurface. This extends a result of Catanese and Di Scala to singular spaces, and answers a question raised by these authors. As a key step in the proof, we establish the Bochner principle for holomorphic tensors on klt spaces in the negative K\"{a}hler--Einstein case.
