Arithmetic and geometric deformations of threefolds

We show that mixed-characteristic and equicharacteristic small deformations of 3-dimensional canonical (resp., terminal) singularities with perfect residue field of characteristic p>5 are canonical (resp., terminal). We discuss applications to arithmetic a ...

GLOBALLY plus -REGULAR VARIETIES AND THE MINIMAL MODEL PROGRAM FOR THREEFOLDS IN MIXED CHARACTERISTIC

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Joseph Allen Waldron

We establish the Minimal Model Program for arithmetic threefolds whose residue characteristics are greater than five. In doing this, we generalize the theory of global F-regularity to mixed characteristic and identify certain stable sections of adjoint lin ...

On rationally connected varieties over C1 fields of characteristic 0

Marta Pieropan

We use birational geometry to show that the existence of rational points on proper rationally connected varieties over fields of characteristic 0 is a consequence of the existence of rational points on terminal Fano varieties. We discuss several consequenc ...

Singularities of general fibers and the LMMP

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Joseph Allen Waldron

We use the theory of foliations to study the relative canonical divisor of a normalized inseparable base-change. Our main technical theorem states that it is linearly equivalent to a divisor with positive integer coefficients divisible by p - 1. We deduce ...

Positivity Of The Cm Line Bundle For K-Stable Log Fanos

Quentin Arthur Frantisek Posva

We prove the bigness of the Chow-Mumford line bundle associated to a Q-Gorenstein family of log Fano varieties of maximal variation with uniformly K-stable general geometric fibers. This result generalizes a theorem of Codogni and Patakfalvi to the logarit ...

Vanishing theorems in positive characteristic

Emelie Kerstin Arvidsson

The topic of this thesis is vanishing theorems in positive characteristic. In particular, we use "the covering trick of Ekedahl" to investigate the vanishing of

Nonperturbative Mellin Amplitudes

João Pedro Alves Da Silva

Conformal field theory lies at the heart of two central topics in theoretical high energy physics: the study of quantum gravity and the mapping of quantum field theories through the renormalization group. In this thesis we explore a technique to study conf ...

Positivity of the CM line bundle for families of K-stable klt Fano varieties

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Giulio Codogni

The Chow-Mumford (CM) line bundle is a functorial line bundle on the base of any family of klt Fano varieties. It is conjectured that it yields a polarization on the moduli space of K-poly-stable klt Fano varieties. Proving ampleness of the CM line bundle ...

Birational characterization of abelian varieties and ordinary abelian varieties in characteristic p>0

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Lei Zhang

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We give a birational characterization of ordinary abelian varieties over k: a smooth projective variety X is birational to an ordinary abelian variety if and only if kappa(S)(X) = 0 and b(1)(X ...

THE LMMP FOR LOG CANONICAL 3-FOLDS IN CHARACTERISTIC p > 5

Joseph Allen Waldron

We prove that one can run the log minimal model program for log canonical 3-fold pairs in characteristic p > 5. In particular, we prove the cone theorem, contraction theorem, the existence of flips and the existence of log minimal models for pairs with log ...

A note on the fibres of Mori fibre spaces

Giulio Codogni, Roberto Svaldi

We consider the problem of determining which Fano manifolds can be realised as fibres of a Mori fibre space. In particular, we study the case of toric varieties, Fano manifolds with high index and some Fano manifolds with high Picard rank. ...

Frobenius techniques in birational geometry

Zsolt Patakfalvi

This is a survey for the 2015 AMS Summer Institute on Algebraic Geometry about the Frobenius type techniques recently used extensively in positive characteristic algebraic geometry. We first explain the basic ideas through simple versions of the fundamenta ...

On the Hilbert Transform of Wavelets

Michaël Unser, Kunal Narayan Chaudhury

A wavelet is a localized function having a prescribed number of vanishing moments. In this correspondence, we provide precise arguments as to why the Hilbert transform of a wavelet is again a wavelet. In particular, we provide sharp estimates of the locali ...
