Kodaira energies of polarized log varieties

Abstract

Let L be an ample line bundle on a log variety (V, D) having only log terminal singularities.The Kodaira energy of such a triple (V, D, L) is defined as follows: κε=-Inf{t\in Q | K(V,D)+tL is big}. Here K(V,D)=K_V+D is the log canonical bundle of (V,D) and "big" means κ=dim V. We first show that the rationality of κε, when it is negative, follows from log Flip theorems (thus it is proved for dim V\le 3 at present). Second we consider the case in which D=0, dim V=3 and V has only terminal singularities. Let S be the set of all the possible values of Kodaira energies of such polarized log threefolds. We prove that S has no negative limit point. This result is closely related to the boundedness of Fano 3-folds.

Classification of Varieties with Canonical Curve Section via Gaussian maps on Canonical Curves

Let $C \subset P^{g-1}$ be a smooth canonical curve of genus $g \geq 3$. The purpose of this article is to further develop a method to classify varieties having $C$ as their curve section, using Gaussian map computations. In a previous article a careful analysis of the degeneration to the cone over the hyperplane section was made for _prime_ Fano threefolds, that is Fano threefolds whose Picard group is generated by the hyperplane bundle. In this article we extend this method and classify Fano threefolds of higher index (which still have Picard number one). We are also able to classify Mukai varieties, i.e. varieties of dimension four or more with canonical curve sections.

Boundedness and $K^2$ for log surfaces

Let $ε, C$ be two positive real numbers, and $\mathcal C \subset \mathbb R$ be a DCC (descending chain condition) set. Let $(X, B = \sum b_j B_j)$ denote a projective surface with an $\mathbb R$-divisor. Then (1) The class $\{X\}$ of surfaces for which there exists a divisor $B$ such that $(X,B)$ is $ε$-log terminal and $-(K_X + B)$ is nef (excluding only those for which at the same time $K_X\equiv 0$, $B=0$, and $X$ has at worst Du Val singularities), is bounded. (2) The set $\{(K_X + B)^2\}$ of squares for the semi log canonical pairs $(X, B)$ with ample $K_X + B$ and $b_j \in \mathcal C$, is a DCC set. (3) The class $\{(X,B)\}$ of pairs such that $(X, B)$ is semi log canonical, $K_X + B$ is ample, $(K_X + B)^2 = C$ and $b_j \in \mathcal C$, is bounded.
