    Abelian covers and isotrivial canonical fibrations

    Full text link
    We classify all the surfaces of general type whose canonical map is composed with a pencil if they are the quotient of the diagonal action by an Abelian group acting over the product of two curves. As far as we know all the previous examples with isotrivial canonical map are very particular cases of our construction; moreover we find an unexpected action by a group of order 16. This construction can be easily generalizable to all dimensions.Comment: To Appear Comm. in Al

    Generalized adjoint forms on algebraic varieties

    Full text link
    We prove a full generalization of the Castelnuovo's free pencil trick. We show its analogies with the Adjoint Theorem; see L. Rizzi, F. Zucconi, Differential forms and quadrics of the canonical image, arXiv:1409.1826 and also Theorem 1.5.1 in G. P. Pirola, F. Zucconi, Variations of the Albanese morphisms, J. Algebraic Geom. 12 (2003), no. 3, 535-572. Moreover we find a new formulation of the Griffiths's infinitesimal Torelli Theorem for smooth projective hypersurfaces using meromorphic 11-forms.Comment: 18 page

    Circle of Sarkisov links on a Fano 33-fold

    Full text link
    For a general Fano 33-fold of index 11 in the weighted projective space P(1,1,1,1,2,2,3)\mathbb{P}(1,1,1,1,2,2,3) we construct 22 new birational models that are Mori fibre spaces, in the framework of the so-called Sarkisov program. We highlight a relation between the corresponding birational maps, as a circle of Sarkisov links, visualising the notion of relations (due to Kaloghiros) in Sarkisov program

    Differential forms and quadrics of the canonical image

    Full text link
    Let π ⁣:XB\pi\colon\mathcal{X}\to B be a family over a smooth connected analytic variety BB, not necessarily compact, whose general fiber XX is smooth of dimension nn, with irregularity n+1\geq n+1 and such that the image of the canonical map of XX is not contained in any quadric of rank 2n+3\leq 2n+3. We prove that if the Albanese map of XX is of degree 11 onto its image then the fibers of π ⁣:XB\pi\colon\mathcal{X}\to B are birational under the assumption that all the 11-forms and all the nn-forms of a fiber are holomorphically liftable to X\mathcal{X}. Moreover we show that generic Torelli holds for such a family π ⁣:XB\pi\colon \mathcal{X}\to B if, in addition to the above hypothesis, we assume that the fibers are minimal and their minimal model is unique. There are counterexamples to the above statements if the canonical image is contained inside quadrics of rank 2n+3\leq 2n+3. We also solve the infinitesimal Torelli problem for an nn-dimensional variety XX of general type with irregularity n+1\geq n+1 and such that its cotangent sheaf is generated and the canonical map is a rational map whose image is not contained in a quadric of rank less or equal to 2n+32n+3.Comment: 23 pages, revised version incorporating referees' comments, exposition improve

    A note on Torelli-type theorems for Gorenstein curves

    Full text link
    Using the notion of generalized divisors introduced by Hartshorne, we adapt the theory of adjoint forms to the case of Gorenstein curves. We show an infinitesimal Torelli-type theorem for vector bundles on Gorenstein curves. We also construct explicit counterexamples to the infinitesimal Torelli claim in the case of a reduced reducible Gorenstein curve.Comment: 17 page
