Abstract

We prove that every strict Calabi--Yau threefold of Artin--Mazur height one over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>0 admits a projective lift to W(k). No assumption is made on the torsion in its crystalline cohomology, and p is arbitrary. Using the crystalline period map of Brantner and Taelman, we show that the obstruction to extending a lift over W_n(k) is the Bockstein of a torsion coordinate of its period point, and that this coordinate can always be made to vanish by varying the lift. The mixed-characteristic deformation functor need not be smooth: for a Calabi--Yau threefold of height one constructed by Addington and Bragg in characteristic 3, some lifts over W_2(k) do not extend over W_3(k). This disproves a conjecture of Achinger and Zdanowicz.

Deformation of nef adjoint canonical line bundles

Much inspired by J. A. Wiśniewski's nef-value function method, we prove that in a smooth projective family over the unit disk, if the adjoint bundle of the canonical line bundle with a relatively semiample line bundle is nef on one fiber, then it remains nef on all fibers. We further extend this result to the semiampleness of the adjoint canonical line bundles. Using these, we prove the deformation invariance of any generalized plurigenera by assuming that only one fiber admits the semiample canonical line bundle and improve the first author--Xiao-Lei Liu's recent deformation rigidity of projective manifolds with semiample canonical line bundles. In particular, also by E. Viehweg--K. Zuo's result on the minimal number of singular fibers in a family and the first author--X. Liu's isotriviality result, if a projective family over $\mathbb{P}^1$ or an elliptic curve has one fiber with the big and nef (or more generally semiample) canonical line bundle, then all fibers are isomorphic to this fiber. Next, much inspired by M. Andreatta--T. Peternell's deformation theoretical approach, we prove that, in a smooth Kähler family of threefolds, if the canonical line bundle of one fiber is not nef, then none of its small deformations admits a nef canonical line bundle either. This partially confirms a problem posed by F. Campana--T. Peternell and the global stability of semiampleness of canonical line bundles of threefolds under a Kähler smooth deformation.

Stability conditions on products of curves and Hilbert schemes of surfaces

We prove that stability conditions on the derived category of a product of curves of positive genus are uniquely determined by their central charge and the phase of skyscraper sheaves. As an application, we construct stability conditions on Hilbert schemes of points on certain surfaces, including some K3 surfaces of Kummer type.
