Groupe de Picard et groupe de Brauer des compactifications lisses d'espaces homog`enes

Abstract

This is a thoroughly revised version of math.AG/0502516v1 (24 Feb. 2005). Let k be a field of characteristic zero. Let Y=G/H, where G is a connected linear algebraic group over k and H is a connected closed k-subgroup of G. Let X be a smooth compactification of Y over k. We prove the conjecture set forward in the previous version : the Galois-lattice given by the geometric Picard group of X is flasque. The previous version had only partial results in this direction. They were obtained at the expense of a long d'etour via local and global fields. We owe the drastic improvement to a suggestion by O. Gabber. The previous version also assumed G semisimple simply connected. We can dispense with this. The result now covers the previously known case Y=G, with G an arbitrary connected linear algebraic group. ----- Ceci est une version enti`erement r'evis'ee de math.AG/0502516v1 (24 f'ev. 2005). Soient k un corps de caract'eristique z'ero, G un k-groupe lin'eaire connexe et H un k-sous-groupe ferm'e connexe de G. Notons Y=G/H. Soit X une k-compactification lisse de Y. Dans la pr'ec'edente version, nous avancions la conjecture : le module galoisien donn'e par le groupe de Picard g'eom'etrique de X (c'est un r'eseau) est un module flasque. Nous 'etablissions des cas particuliers de cette conjecture, sous l'hypoth`ese suppl'ementaire que G est semi-simple simplement connexe, au moyen d'une r'eduction alambiqu'ee au cas des corps p-adiques. Le pr'esent texte, qui doit beaucoup à une suggestion d'O. Gabber, 'etablit la conjecture dans le cas g'en'eral.

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.
