K-equivalence in Birational Geometry and Characterizations of Complex Elliptic Genera

چکیده
We show that for smooth complex projective varieties the most general combinations of chern numbers that are invariant under the K-equivalence relation consist of the complex elliptic genera. §

K-equivalence in Birational Geometry
In this article we survey the background and recent development on the Kequivalence relation among birational manifolds. The content is based on the author’s talk at ICCM-2001 at Taipei. I would like to dedicate this article to Professor Chern, Shiing-shen to celebrate his 90th birthday. For manifolds, K-equivalence is the same as c1-equivalence. In this sense, a major part of birational geomet...
متن کاملBirational Geometry of Rationally Connected Manifolds via Quasi-lines
This is, mostly, a survey of results about the birational geometry of rationally connected manifolds, using rational curves analogous to lines in Pn (quasi-lines). Various characterizations of a Zariski neighbourhood of a line in Pn are obtained, some of them being new. Also, methods of formal geometry are applied for deducing results of birational nature.
متن کاملMath Research Experience: Surface Intersections
During the summer between my junior and senior year, I was extremely lucky to be one of the 80 rising seniors who were admitted to the Research Science Institute (RSI) held at MIT. My mentor was Ryan Reich, a graduate student from Harvard University. Before the program, I was contacted by my mentor and was given a couple of project ideas. I could either do a project on tropical geometry or do a...
متن کاملAn Analogue of the Novikov Conjecture in Complex Algebraic Geometry
We introduce an analogue of the Novikov Conjecture on higher signatures in the context of the algebraic geometry of (nonsingular) complex projective varieties. This conjecture asserts that certain “higher Todd genera” are birational invariants. This implies birational invariance of certain extra combinations of Chern classes (beyond just the classical Todd genus) in the case of varieties with l...
متن کاملEuler and algebraic geometry
Euler’s work on elliptic integrals is a milestone in the history of algebraic geometry. The founders of calculus understood that some algebraic functions could be integrated using elementary functions (logarithms and inverse trigonometric functions). Euler realized that integrating other algebraic functions leads to genuinely different functions, elliptic integrals. These functions are not some...
