Abstract Tropical geometry and the theory of Newton–Okounkov bodies are two methods that produce toric degenerations of an irreducible complex projective variety. Kaveh and Manon showed that the two are related. We give geometric maps between the Newton–Okounkov bodies corresponding to two adjacent maximal-dimensional prime cones in the tropicalization of $X$. Under a technical condition, we produce a natural “algebraic wall-crossing” map on the underlying value semigroups (of the corresponding valuations). In the case of the tropical Grassmannian $Gr(2,m)$, we prove that the algebraic wall-crossing map is the restriction of a geometric map. In an appendix by Nathan Ilten, he explains how the geometric wall-crossing phenomenon can also be derived from the perspective of complexity-one $T$-varieties; Ilten also explains the connection to the “combinatorial mutations” studied by Akhtar–Coates–Galkin–Kasprzyk.

Let $X$ be a normal complex projective variety, $T\subseteq X$ a subvariety of dimension $m$ (possibly $T=X$) and $a:X\rightarrow A$ a morphism to an abelian variety such that $\text{Pic}^{0}(A)$ injects into $\text{Pic}^{0}(T)$; let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in \text{Pic}^{0}(A)$ a general element.We introduce two new ingredients for the study of linear systems on $X$. First of all, we show the existence of a factorization of the map $a$, called the eventual map of $L$ on $T$, which controls the behavior of the linear systems $|L\otimes \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}|_{|T}$, asymptotically with respect to the pullbacks to the connected étale covers $X^{(d)}\rightarrow X$ induced by the $d$-th multiplication map of $A$.Second, we define the so-called continuous rank function$x\mapsto h_{a}^{0}(X_{|T},L+xM)$, where $M$ is the pullback of an ample divisor of $A$. This function extends to a continuous function of $x\in \mathbb{R}$, which is differentiable except possibly at countably many points; when $X=T$ we compute the left derivative explicitly.As an application, we give quick short proofs of a wide range of new Clifford–Severi inequalities, i.e., geographical bounds of the form $$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle \text{vol}_{X|T}(L)\geqslant C(m)h_{a}^{0}(X_{|T},L), & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$ where $C(m)={\mathcal{O}}(m!)$ depends on several geometrical properties of $X$, $L$ or $a$.

We consider the question of relating extrinsic geometric characters of a smooth irreducible complex projective variety, which is invariant by a one-dimensional holomorphic foliation on a complex projective space, to geometric objects associated to the foliation.

AbstractLetXbe a smooth complex projective variety with a holomorphic vector field with isolated zero setZ. From the results of Carrell and Lieberman there exists a filtrationF0⊂F1⊂ · · · ofA(Z), the ring of ℂ-valued functions onZ, such thatas graded algebras. In this note, for a smooth projective toric variety and a vector field generated by the action of a 1-parameter subgroup of the torus, we work out this filtration. Our main result is an explicit connection between this filtration and the polytope algebra ofX.

AbstractIn this paper we examine different problems regarding complete intersection varieties of high multidegree in a smooth complex projective variety. First we prove an existence theorem for jet differential equations that generalizes a theorem of Diverio. Then we show how one can deduce hyperbolicity for generic complete intersections of high multidegree and high codimension from the known results on hypersurfaces. Finally, motivated by a conjecture of Debarre, we focus on the positivity of the cotangent bundle of complete intersections, and prove some results towards this conjecture; among other things, we prove that a generic complete intersection surface of high multidegree in a projective space of dimension at least four has an ample cotangent bundle.

We study the Iitaka–Kodaira dimension of nef relative anti-canonical divisors. As a consequence, we prove that given a complex projective variety with klt singularities, if the anti-canonical divisor is nef, then the dimension of a general fibre of the maximal rationally connected fibration is at least the Iitaka–Kodaira dimension of the anti-canonical divisor.

AbstractWe investigate the pairs (X, ε) consisting of a smooth complex projective variety X of dimension n and an ample vector bundle ε of rank n − 1 on X such that ε has a section whose zero locus is a smooth elliptic curve.

Let$X$be a smooth complex projective variety with basepoint$x$. We prove that every rigid integral irreducible representation$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}(X\!,x)\rightarrow \operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{C})$is of geometric origin, i.e., it comes from some family of smooth projective varieties. This partially generalizes an earlier result by Corlette and the second author in the rank 2 case and answers one of their questions.

Let (X, L) be a quasi-polarized pair, i.e. X is a normal complex projective variety and L is a nef and big line bundle on it. We study, up to birational equivalence, the positivity (nefness) of the adjoint bundles KX + rL for high rational numbers r. For this we run a Minimal Model Program with scaling relative to the divisor KX + rL. We give then some applications, namely the classification up to birational equivalence of quasi-polarized pairs with sectional genus 0, 1 and of embedded projective varieties X ⊂ ℙN with degree smaller than 2 codim ℙN(X) + 2.

In 1983, Nochka proved a conjecture of Cartan on defects of holomorphic curves in ℂPn relative to a possibly degenerate set of hyperplanes. In this paper, we generalize Nochka's theorem to the case of curves in a complex projective variety intersecting hypersurfaces in subgeneral position. Further work will be needed to determine the optimal notion of subgeneral position under which this result can hold, and to lower the effective truncation level which we achieved.

Let [Formula: see text] be a smooth complex projective variety, [Formula: see text] a morphism to an abelian variety such that [Formula: see text] injects into [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be a line bundle on [Formula: see text]; denote by [Formula: see text] the minimum of [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. The so-called Clifford–Severi inequalities have been proven in [M. A. Barja, Generalized Clifford–Severi inequality and the volume of irregular varieties, Duke Math. J. 164(3) (2015) 541–568; M. A. Barja, R. Pardini and L. Stoppino, Linear systems on irregular varieties, J. Inst. Math. Jussieu (2019) 1–39; doi:10.1017/S1474748019000069]; in particular, for any [Formula: see text] there is a lower bound for the volume given by: [Formula: see text] and, if [Formula: see text] is pseudoeffective, [Formula: see text] In this paper, we characterize varieties and line bundles for which the above Clifford–Severi inequalities are equalities.
