For each $n geq 3$ the authors provide an $n$-dimensional rigid compact complex manifold of Kodaira dimension $1$. First they construct a series of singular quotients of products of $(n-1)$ Fermat curves with the Klein quartic, which are rigid. Then using toric geometry a suitable resolution of singularities is constructed and the deformation theories of the singular model and of the resolutions are compared, showing the rigidity of the resolutions.
In this paper the authors study quotients of the product of elliptic curves by a rigid diagonal action of a finite group $G$. It is shown that only for $G = operatorname{He(3)}, mathbb Z_3^2$, and only for dimension $geq 4$ such an action can be free. A complete classification of the singular quotients in dimension 3 and the smooth quotients in dimension $4$ is given. For the other finite groups a strong structure theorem for rigid quotients is proven.
This article investigates the subject of rigid compact complex manifolds. First of all we investigate the different notions of rigidity (local rigidity, global rigidity, infinitesimal rigidity, etale rigidity and strong rigidity) and the relations among them. Only for curves these notions coincide and the only rigid curve is the projective line. For surfaces we prove that a rigid surface which is not minimal of general type is either a Del Pezzo surface of degree >= 5 or an Inoue surface. We give examples of rigid manifolds of dimension n >= 3 and Kodaira dimensions 0, and 2 <=k <= n. Our main theorem is that the Hirzebruch Kummer coverings of exponent n >= 4 branched on a complete quadrangle are infinitesimally rigid. Moreover, we pose a number of questions.
A nilmanifold is a (left) quotient of a nilpotent Lie group by a cocompact lattice. A hypercomplex structure on a manifold is a triple of complex structure operators satisfying the quaternionic relations. A hypercomplex nilmanifold is a compact quotient of a nilpotent Lie group equipped with a left-invariant hypercomplex structure. Such a manifold admits a whole 2-dimensional sphere $S^2$ of complex structures induced by quaternions. We prove that for any hypercomplex nilmanifold $M$ and a generic complex structure $Lin S^2$, the complex manifold $(M,L)$ has algebraic dimension 0. A stronger result is proven when the hypercomplex nilmanifold is abelian. Consider the Lie algebra of left-invariant vector fields of Hodge type (1,0) on the corresponding nilpotent Lie group with respect to some complex structure $Iin S^2$. A hypercomplex nilmanifold is called abelian when this Lie algebra is abelian. We prove that all complex subvarieties of $(M,L)$ for generic $Lin S^2$ on a hypercomplex abelian nilmanifold are also hypercomplex nilmanifolds.
Using Galois theory, we construct explicitly (in all complex dimensions >1) an infinite family of simple complex tori of algebraic dimension 0 with Picard number 0.
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].
