Characterizing Projective Spaces for Varieties with at Most Quotient Singularities
نویسنده
چکیده
We generalize the well-known numerical criterion for projective spaces by Cho, Miyaoka and Shepherd-Barron to varieties with at worst quotient singularities. Let X be a normal projective variety of dimension n ≥ 3 with at most quotient singularities. Our result asserts that if C · (−KX) ≥ n + 1 for every curve C ⊂ X, then X ∼= P .

For Gorenstein quotient spaces C d =G, a direct generalization of the classical McKay correspondence in dimensions d 4 would primarily demand the existence of projective, crepant desingularizations. Since this turned out to be not always possible, Reid asked about special classes of such quotient spaces which would satisfy the above property. We prove that the underlying spaces of all Gorenstei...

A Fano variety is a projective variety whose anticanonical class is ample. A 2–dimensional Fano variety is called a Del Pezzo surface. In higher dimensions, attention originally centered on smooth Fano 3–folds, but singular Fano varieties are also of considerable interest in connection with the minimal model program. The existence of Kähler–Einstein metrics on Fano varieties has also been explo...

An immediate generalization of the classical McKay correspondence for Gorenstein quotient spaces C/G in dimensions r ≥ 4 would primarily demand the existence of projective, crepant, full desingularizations. Since this is not always possible, it is natural to ask about special classes of such quotient spaces which would satisfy the above property. In this paper we give explicit necessary and suf...
متن کاملIntersection Spaces and Hypersurface Singularities
We give an elementary introduction to the first author’s theory of intersection spaces associated to complex projective varieties with only isolated singularities. We also survey recent results on the deformation invariance of intersection space homology in the context of projective hypersurfaces with an isolated singularity.
