Curves on Threefolds and a Conjecture of Griffiths-harris
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that any arithmetically Gorenstein curve on a smooth, general hypersurface X ⊂ P of degree at least 6, is a complete intersection. This gives a characterisation of complete intersection curves on general type hypersurfaces in P. We also verify that certain 1-cycles on a general quintic hypersurface are non-trivial elements of the Griffiths group.

Some finiteness results for Calabi–Yau threefolds
We investigate the moduli theory of Calabi–Yau threefolds, and using Griffiths’ work on the period map, we derive some finiteness results. In particular, we confirm a prediction of Morrison’s Cone Conjecture.
متن کاملOn a Conjecture of Serre on Abelian Threefolds
A conjecture of Serre predicts a precise from of Torelli Theorem for genus 3 curves, namely, an indecomposable principally polarized abelian threefold is a Jacobian if and only if some specific invariant is a square. We study here a three dimensional family of such threefolds, introduced by Howe, Leprevost and Poonen. By a new formulation, we link their results to the conjecture of Serre. Then,...
متن کاملCubic Threefolds and Abelian Varieties of Dimension Five
Cubic threefolds have been studied in algebraic geometry since classical times. In [5], Clemens and Griffiths proved that the intermediate Jacobian JX of a smooth cubic threefold is not isomorphic as a principally polarized abelian variety to a product of Jacobians of curves, which implies the irrationality of X. They also established the Torelli theorem for cubic threefolds: the principally po...
متن کاملCurves of Small Degree on Cubic Threefolds
In this article we consider the spaces H(X) parametrizing smooth curves of degree d and genus g on a smooth cubic threefold X ⊂ . For 1 ≤ d ≤ 5, we show that each variety H(X) is irreducible of dimension 2d.
متن کاملOn Silverman's conjecture for a family of elliptic curves
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $Bbb{Q}$ with the given Weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. If $D$ is a squarefree integer, then let $E^{(D)}$ denote the $D$-quadratic twist of $E$ that is given by $E^{(D)}: y^2=x^3+aD^2x+bD^3$. Let $E^{(D)}(Bbb{Q})$ be the group of $Bbb{Q}$-rational points of $E^{(D)}$. It is conjectured by J. Silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $...
