What Is Missing in Canonical Models for Proper Normal Algebraic Surfaces?

چکیده
Smooth surfaces have finitely generated canonical rings and projective canonical models. For normal surfaces, however, the graded ring of multicanonical sections is possibly nonnoetherian, such that the corresponding homogeneous spectrum is noncompact. I construct a canonical compactification by adding finitely many non-Q-Gorenstein points at infinity, provided that each Weil divisor is numerically equivalent to a Q-Cartier divisor. Similar results hold for arbitrary Weil divisors instead of the canonical class.

Normal Del Pezzo Surfaces Containing a Nonrational Singularity
Working over perfect ground fields of arbitrary characteristic, I classify minimal normal del Pezzo surfaces containing a nonrational singularity. As an application, I determine the structure of 2-dimensional anticanonical models for proper normal algebraic surfaces. The anticanonical ring may be non-finitely generated. However, the anticanonical model is either a proper surface, or a proper su...
متن کاملOn contractible curves on normal surfaces
We give characterizations of contractible curves on proper normal algebraic surfaces in terms of complementary Weil divisors. From this we obtain some generalizations of the classical criteria for contractibility of Castelnuovo and Artin. Furthermore, we will derive a finiteness result on homogeneous spectra defined by Weil divisors on proper normal algebraic surfaces.
متن کاملThere Are Enough Azumaya Algebras on Surfaces
Using Maruyama’s theory of elementary transformations, I show that the Brauer group surjects onto the cohomological Brauer group for separated geometrically normal algebraic surfaces. As an application, I infer the existence of nonfree vector bundles on proper normal algebraic surfaces.
متن کاملCanonical Symplectic Structures and Deformations of Algebraic Surfaces
We show that a minimal surface of general type has a canonical symplectic structure (unique up to symplectomorphism) which is invariant for smooth deformation. Our main theorem is that the symplectomorphism type is also invariant for deformations which allow certain normal singular-ities, called Single Smoothing Singularities (and abbreviated as SSS), and moreover for deformations yielding Q-Go...
متن کاملOn the C°° Invariance of the Canonical Classes of Certain Algebraic Surfaces
1. The results announced in this article concern certain aspects of the diffeomorphism classification of algebraic surfaces, and in particular, the role of the canonical class. We establish our results by developing a general criterion under which the possibilities for Donaldson's polynomial invariants for smooth 4-manifolds [2] are severely limited. We then use these limitations to conclude th...
