On a Grauert-Riemenschneider vanishing theorem for Frobenius split varieties in characteristic pThis paper is about sheaf cohomology for varieties (schemes) in characteristic p>0. We assume the presence of a Frobenius splitting. (See V.B. Mehta and A. Ramanathan, Frobenius splitting and…V. B. Mehta, Wilberd van der Kallen·Feb 13, 1992SaveLearn
On irregular links at infinity of algebraic plane curvesWe give two proofs of a conjecture of the first author (Inv. Math. 98, 1989) that a reduced algebraic plane curve is regular at infinity if and only if its link at infinity is a regular toral link.…Walter D. Neumann, Le Van Thanh·Feb 12, 1992SaveLearn
The algebraic de Rham theorem for toric varietiesOn an arbitrary toric variety, we introduce the logarithmic double complex, which is essentially the same as the algebraic de Rham complex in the nonsingular case, but which behaves much better in…Tadao Oda·Feb 12, 1992SaveLearn
Twistors, Kaehler Manifolds, and Bimeromorphic Geometry IIUsing examples of compact complex 3-manifolds which arise as twistor spaces, we show that the class of compact complex manifolds bimeromorphic to Kähler manifolds is not stable under small…Claude LeBrun, Yat-Sun Poon·Feb 11, 1992SaveLearn
On the difference between real and complex arrangementsLet B be an arrangement of linear complex hyperplanes in Cd. Then a classical result by Orlik \& Solomon asserts that the cohomology algebra of the complement can be constructed from the…Günter M. Ziegler·Feb 11, 1992SaveLearn
Mirror symmetry and rational curves on quintic threefolds: a guide for mathematiciansWe give a mathematical account of a recent string theory calculation which predicts the number of rational curves on the generic quintic threefold. Our account involves the interpretation of Yukawa…David R. Morrison·Feb 10, 1992SaveLearn
Complex Contact Threefolds and Their Contact CurvesA complex contact threefold is a threefold with a two-dimensional non-integrable holomorphic distribution. A contact curve on a contact threefold is an integrable curve of the distribution. This work…Yun-Gang Ye·Feb 7, 1992SaveLearn
Gorenstein Threefold Singularities with Small Resolutions via Invariant Theory for Weyl GroupsWe classify simple flops on smooth threefolds, or equivalently, Gorenstein threefold singularities with irreducible small resolution. There are only six families of such singularities, distinguished…Sheldon Katz, David R. Morrison·Feb 5, 1992SaveLearn
Rational Curves on Calabi-Yau ThreefoldsThe point is to compare the mathematical meaning of the ``number of rational curves on a Calabi-Yau threefold'' to the meaning ascribed to the same notion by string theorists.Sheldon Katz·Feb 5, 1992SaveLearn
