We classify projective manifolds with flat holomorphic conformal structures.
Projective structures on compact real manifolds are classical objects in real differential geometry. Complex manifolds with a holomorphic projective structure on the other hand form a special class as soon as the dimension is greater than one. In the Kähler Einstein case, projective space, tori and ball quotients are essentially the only examples. They can be described purely in terms of Chern class conditions. We give a complete classification of all projective manifolds carrying a projective structure. The only additional examples are modular abelian families over quaternionic Shimura curves. They can also be described purely in terms of Chern class conditions.
Let M be a complex projective manifold with the property that for any compact Riemann surface C and holomorphic map f: C -> M the pullback of the tangent bundle of M is semistable. We prove that in this case M is a curve or a finite etale quotient of an abelian variety answering a conjecture of I. Biswas.
Let N a compact complex submanifold of a compact complex manifold M. We say N splits in M, if the holomorphic tangent bundle sequence splits holomorphically. By a result of Mok a splitting submanifold of a Kaehler Einstein manifold with a projective structure is totally geodesic. The classification of all splitting submanifolds of families of fake elliptic curves given here completes the case of threefolds M with a projective structure by a previous result of the authors.
We study projective manifolds M admitting a (flat) holomorphic normal projective connection and show that the Iitaka fibration (up to etale coverings) defines a smooth abelian group scheme structure on M.
In continuation of our paper in Math. Ann. 333 we classify smooth complex projective threefolds X with -K_X big and nef but not ample and Picard number 2, whose anticanonical map is small. We assume also that the Mori contraction of X and of its flop are not both birational.
We classify almost del Pezzo manifolds in arbitrary dimension n, i.e., projective manifolds X with big and nef anticanonical bundle -K_X, such that -K_X is divisible by n-1.
We study smoothings of Fano threefolds. We prove that the Picard number remains constant in the case of terminal Gorenstein singularities.
We start the classification of smooth projective threefolds X whose anticanonical bundles -K_X are big and nef but not ample. In this paper we treat the case b_2(X) = 2 and the morphism associated with the base point free linear system |-mK_X|, m>>0, is divisorial.
We classify all Gorenstein Fano threefolds with at worst canonical singularities for which the anticanonical system has a nonempty base locus.
In the late 50's A. Van de Ven stated that the only compact submanifolds with splitting tangent sequence of the projective space are linear subspaces. In this paper a classification of all submanifolds with splitting tangent sequence of some further classes of (homogeneous) manifolds is given, like quadrics or abelian varieties.
The authors give a complete classification of projective threefolds admitting a holomorphic conformal structure. A Corollary is the complete list of projective threefolds, whose tangent bundle is a symmetric square.
We study Fano threefolds with Picard number one equipped with a holomorphic section in $Ω_V^1(1)$.
The consequences of the splitting of higher jet sequences of vector bundles on a compact complex (Kaehler) manifold are studied, proving an infinitesimal convers to a result of I.Biswas.
The authors give a complete classification of projective threefolds admitting a holomorphic normal projective connection. Moreover, they prove a general structure theorem on complex projective manifolds admitting a holomorphic normal projective connection, saying in particular, that any such manifold is either the projective space or minimal in the sense of Mori.
