Let $f:,X to mathbb{P}^1$ be a non-isotrivial semi-stable family of varieties of dimension $m$ over $mathbb{P}^1$ with $s$ singular fibers. Assume that the smooth fibers $F$ are minimal, i.e., their canonical line bundles are semiample. Then $kappa(X)leq kappa(F)+1$. If $kappa(X)=kappa(F)+1$, then $s>frac{4}m+2$. If $kappa(X)geq 0$, then $sgeqfrac{4}m+2$. In particular, if $m=1$, $s=6$ and $kappa(X)=0$, then the family $f$ is Teichmuller.
We prove that the moduli spaces of curves of genus 22 and 23 are of general type. To do this, we calculate certain virtual divisor classes of small slope associated to linear series of rank 6 with quadric relations. We then develop new tropical methods for studying linear series and independence of quadrics and show that these virtual classes are represented by effective divisors.
In this note, we apply the semi-ampleness criterion in Lemma 3.1 to prove many classical results in the study of abundance conjecture. As a corollary, we prove abundance for large Kodaira dimension depending only on [BCHM10].
Kodaira fibred surfaces are a remarkable example of projective classifying spaces, and there are still many intriguing open questions concerning them, especially the slope question. The topological characterization of Kodaira fibrations is emblematic of the use of topological methods in the study of moduli spaces of surfaces and higher dimensional complex algebraic varieties, and their compactifications. The paper contains some new results but is mostly a survey paper, dealing with fibrations, questions on monodromy and factorizations in the mapping class group, old and new results on Variation of Hodge Structures, especially a recent answer given (in joint work with Dettweiler) to a long standing question posed by Fujita. In the landscape of our tour, Galois coverings, deformations and rigid manifolds (new results obtained with Ingrid Bauer) projective classifying spaces, the action of the absolute Galois group on moduli spaces, stand also in the forefront. These questions lead to interesting algebraic surfaces, for instance the BCDH surfaces, hypersurfaces in Bagnera-de Franchis varieties, Inoue-type surfaces.
The fundamental group $pi_1(L)$ of a knot or link $L$ may be used to generate magic states appropriate for performing universal quantum computation and simultaneously for retrieving complete information about the processed quantum states. In this paper, one defines braids whose closure is the $L$ of such a quantum computer model and computes their Seifert surfaces and the corresponding Alexander polynomial. In particular, some $d$-fold coverings of the trefoil knot, with $d=3$, $4$, $6$ or $12$, define appropriate links $L$ and the latter two cases connect to the Dynkin diagrams of $E_6$ and $D_4$, respectively. In this new context, one finds that this correspondence continues with the Kodairas classification of elliptic singular fibers. The Seifert fibered toroidal manifold $Sigma$, at the boundary of the singular fiber $tilde {E_8}$, allows possible models of quantum computing.
We give a universal approach to the deformation-obstruction theory of objects of the derived category of coherent sheaves over a smooth projective family. We recover and generalise the obstruction class of Lowen and Lieblich, and prove that it is a product of Atiyah and Kodaira--Spencer classes. This allows us to obtain deformation-invariant virtual cycles on moduli spaces of objects of the derived category on threefolds.
