Abstract

Enriques manifolds and Log Enriques varieties have attracted a lot of interest in the last years. In this paper we study Enriques manifolds and Log Enriques varieties that are respectively étale and quasi-étale quotients of Calabi-Yau manifolds. We produce several examples by studying quotients of generalized Fermat manifolds of Calabi-Yau type. These are complete intersections of Fermat type manifolds all of the same degree and were described recently by Hidalgo, Hughes and Leyton-Álvarez. We describe all their quotients by a fixed-point-free automorphism. Most of the quotients are Log Enriques varieties or Calabi-Yau varieties with terminal singularities. In one case we get a family of Enriques manifolds which is a subfamily of a family described previously by Boissière, Camere and the third author, which is one of the two so far known families of Enriques manifolds of Calabi-Yau type. This family is obtained as an étale quotient of order two of a Calabi-Yau manifold complete intersection of quadrics, the other family is the Hilbert scheme of $n$ points on an Enriques surface. In the last part of the paper we show that these two families are different by computing their second Betti numbers, which are equal to one and eleven respectively.

On the fundamental groups of subelliptic varieties

We show that the fundamental group of any smooth subelliptic variety is finite. Moreover, it is also proved that every finite group can be realized as the fundamental group of a smooth subelliptic variety. As a consequence, it follows that there exists a smooth subelliptic variety homotopy equivalent to the $n$-sphere if and only if $n>1$. This result can be considered as a negative answer to the algebraic version of Gromov's problem on the homotopy types of Oka manifolds.

Minimal energy local systems on curves

Let $Σ_{g,n}$ be an orientable topological surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. When $g = 0$, Deroin and Tholozan studied the class of supra-maximal representations $π_1(Σ_{0,n})\to \mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$, and they showed that the supra-maximal representations form a compact component of a real relative character variety. We study a collection of rank $r$ local systems on $Σ_{g,n}$ which we call of minimal energy. These are generalizations of supra-maximal representations, and underlie polarizable complex variations of Hodge structure for any choice of complex structure on $Σ_{g,n}$. Like the supra-maximal representations, the minimal energy local systems form compact components of relative character varieties of real forms of $\mathrm{GL}_r(\mathbb{C})$. We show that when the local monodromy data around the punctures is chosen to be unitary and generic, and the relative character variety is nonempty, these minimal energy local systems always exist. When $g > 0$, we show that the minimal energy local systems come from unitary representations of $π_1(Σ_{g,n})$. If $g = 0$ we show that they do not always come from unitary representations, and we study their structure in general.

Hypergeometric local systems and parabolic bundles

Beukers and Heckman gave necessary and sufficient conditions for a hypergeometric function $_n F_{n-1}$ to be algebraic. We give a new proof of this theorem by passing through the Mehta-Seshadri correspondence. In particular, we explicitly write down the parabolic bundle corresponding to a unitary hypergeometric local system.
