with Fixed Sectional Genus.
E.
BALLICO (*)
Let X be a
projective variety (say, smooth)
and L E Pic(X)
with Lample.
Set n : =dim (X)
andI~ : = KX .
Recall that the sectional genusg(L)
of L can be definedby
the formula:2g (L) -
2= (K
+ It isknown
([F2])
thatg(L)
is aninteger
and thatg(L) ~
0 if L isample.
IfC c X is a curve which is
scheme-theoretically
the intersection of n -1 divisors in theng (L) by
theadjunction
formula.In [F2],
Th.
13.1,
it wasproved
that for evertinteger g
the setT (n, g)
ofpairs (X, L)
with X smoothcomplete variety
of dimension n(in
characteristic0)
and L E Pic(X)
with Lample
and withg(L)
= g is bounded. Recall that here «bounded» means the existence of analgebraic
scheme T(a parameter space),
a flatmorphism f.
X - T and L E Pic(X )
such that forevery t
E T we haveL( f -1 (t))
and viceversa everypair (X, L)
ET (n, g)
arises
(up
toisomorphism)
in this way; theimportant thing
here is that T isalgebraic,
notonly locally algebraic (and
inparticular
it hasonly finitely
many irreduciblecomponents).
Now fix a rank r vector bundle E on X. In
[Fl] (or
see[F2],
p. 174 and p.175)
T.Fujita
gave two definitions of sectional genus for the vec-tor bundle E. First we describe the less
interesting
one(in
ouropin- ion) ;
take as sectional genus theinteger g (Op~E~ (1 ))
whereOP(1) (1)
is thetautological quotient
line bundle onP(E);
thisinteger
was called the0(1)-sectional
genus(see [F2],
p.175);
with this definition it is easy to work(obtaining
for instance lists ofpairs (X, E)
with low genera and Eample) using properties
proven forpolarized
manifolds. Here is the second definition: set L : =cl (E)
and callcl-sectional
genus of E theinteger g(L).
Both definitions have two verybig advantages: they
are very
general (i.e. they
arealways defined)
andthey
are useful.However
they
are not very natural for thefollowing
reason; if for in- stance C is a curve which isscheme-theoretically
the zero locus(s)o
ofs E
H° (X, E),
then ingeneral Pa (C)
is neither the0(l)-sectional
genus(*) Indirizzo dell’A.:

of Mathematics,University
of Trento, 38050 Povo (TN),Italy.
208
nor the
cl-sectional
genus ofE; indeed,
if E =MBI
with M EPic (X)
then in
general
the cl-genus of E is notg(M),
since L =M 0’ (which
isseldom
isomorphic
toM).
In
[B]
we gave another definition of sectional genus for the vector bundleE,
butonly
underextremely strong assumptions: E spanned by
its
global
sections and rank(E)
+ 1 = dim(X).
Under these assump-tions,
forgeneral
the zero locus(s)o
is a curve(even
smooth in characteristiczero)
and it is natural to call «the»(or
«a»)
sectional genus of E. Note thatby
theadjunction
formula we have(C) -
2 =(K
+L) (E). By [FL]
it is easy to check that if E and K + L areample,
thenPa (C) g (L).
,Here is the main result of this note.
THEOREM 0.1. Assume that the
algebraically
closed basefield
Khas
char (K)
= 0. Then the setA(n, r, g) : _ ~ (X, E):
X is a smooth pro-jective manifold
and E is a rank rample
vector bundle on X with cl- sectional genusg } is
bounded.Then we prove the
following
result 0.3 about the boundedness for the sectional genus in the senseof [B].
To state 0.3 we need the follow-ing
definition.DEFINITION 0.2. A
pair (X, E)
with X n-dimensionalprojective
manifold and E rank r vector bundle on X is called a scroll over a curve
(or
a classical scroll or,briefly,
ascroll)
if there is a smooth curveC,
arank n vector bundle F on C and a
morphism
7r: X - C such that 7r is iso-morphic
to theprojection P(F)
- C and the restriction of E to every fiber of n(which
isisomorphic
toP’-1)
is the direct sum of r line bun- dles ofdegree
1.By
the basechange
theorem and theprojection formula,
the lastcondition of 0.2 is
equivalent
to the existence of H E Pic(X)
and a rank r vector bundle A on C with E =7r* (A) (H)
and = 1 forevery x E
C;
note that such a bundle is n-uniform in the sense of Ishimu-ra
([Is]).
THEOREM 0.3. Assume
char (K)
= 0. SetY(3, 2, g) :_ I(X, E):
X isa smooth
projective threefold
and E a rank 2ample
andspanned
vectorbundle on X
with g as
sectional genus in the senseof [B],
and(X, E)
is not ascrolll.
ThenY(3, 2, g)
is bounded.Theorems 0.1 and 0.3 will be
proved (using heavily
the rank 1 caseproved in [F2],
Th.13.1)
in the first section. In the second(and last)
section we turn to thepositive
characteristic case, and prove theboundedness of
A(2, 2, g) (Theorem 2.1 ).
Theproof
of 2.1 will use in anessential way
[Ek].
It is very easy to show that in 0.3 we have to ex-clude the scrolls
(X, E). Indeed,
with the notations of0.3,
we may find(exactly
as in[Fu2],
Remark13.3,
for the rank 1case)
E with sectional genus C and determinant ofarbitrarly high
self-intersection:just
takea very
positive
H. We think that the existence of theseexceptional
cas-es shows that the definition of sectional genus
given
in[B]
is a very nat- ural one(although
it is veryrestrictive).
One defines the sectional genusg(E)
of a vector bundle E on acomplete variety X
with dim(X) =
=
rank (E)
+ 1 = n,by
the formula:2g (E) -
2 =(Kx
+ C1(E))
cn _ 1(E) (assuming Kx
not toobad).
However we were unable to prove much aboutg(E)
withoutassuming strong
restrictions on E.1. Proofs of 0.1 and 0.3.
We work over an
algebraically
closed base field K. In this sectionwe will assume
always
char(K)
= 0. This section containsexactly
theproofs
of 0.1 and 0.3. In this paper we will use both additive and multi-plicative
notations for line bundles anddivisors,
and make standard abuses of notationsswitching
from line bundles to divisors or vice-versa.
Here X will be a
projective
manifold with dim(X)
= n and E arank r
ample
vector bundle on X. Take L : = C1(E)
E Pic(X)
with L am-ple ;
setg : = g (L).
DEFINITION 1.1. Let
B(X, L, r)
be the set of rank rample
vectorbundles on X with L as determinant.
Unless otherwise stated we will assume L : = cl
(E).
First we need two easy and very well-known remarks.
REMARK 1.2. Since E is
ample,
we have L ~ C > 0 for every curveC of X
(no
restriction on the characteristic of the base field or thesingu-
larities of
X).
REMARK 1.3.
By 1.2,
the smoothness of X and Moritheory,
wehave
( K
+tL) ~
C > 0 for every curve C in X and everyinteger t
withrt > n + 1
(no
restriction on the characteristic of these basefield).
Note that if K + tL isnef,
then K +(t
+1)
L isample by
Kleimanampleness
criterion. In
particular, checking directly
the case n = r = 2 and X =p2
we obtain that K + nL is
ample
if n ~ 2 and r ~ 2.210
LEMMA 1.4. Fix an
ample
vector bundle F on acomplete
mani-fold
V and aninteger
t > 0. ThenF(det (F)0’)
is Nakanopositive.
Fur-thermore = 0
for
every i > 0.PROOF. The first
part (which
is linearalgebra)
wasproved (j ointly) by Demailly
and Skoda(see [D1]
or[D2]
or[Skl]
or[Sk2]).
The secondpart
is a theorem of Nakano(see either [N] or [D2],
Cor.0.5,
or
[Sk1])..
LEMMA 1.5. Fix an
integer m
such that mL is veryample,.
ThenE(kL
+K)
isspanned by
itsglobal
sectionsfor
everyinteger
k ;(n -
- 1) m + 1.
PROOF. Note that the restriction of a Nakano
positive
bundle to asubmanifold is
again
Nakanopositive (hence
satisfies the Nakano’svanishing
theorem whose content is the last assertion of1.4).
Fix x EX;
take a smooth De
mL ~ I
with andapply
the observationjust made,
theadjunction
exact sequence for thepair (X, D)
and inductionon n. 0
Theorem 0.1 will follow rather
easily
from a result ofFujita ([Fu2],
Th.
13.1)
and the nextproposition.
PROPOSITION 1.6. For
every X, L, and r,
the setB(X, L, r)
is bounded.PROOF.
By
1.5 there is aninteger
m’(depending only
on(X, L),
not on
E)
such thatE(kL
+K)
isspanned by global
sections for every k ~ m’. Fix any suchinteger
k.By
a theorem of Bertinitype
due toKleiman
([Kl2]),
there are r - 1 sections of E which induce an exact sequence:with Z c
S,
Z reduced(and
evensmooth,
since we are in characteristic0),
Z of pure codimension2,
Zrepresenting
the class ofc2 (R(kL
+K));
note that the class of c2
(R(kL
+K))
isrepresented by
the class ofc2 (E)
+(r - 1) (kL
+K) L
+(r/(r - 1)/2) (kL
+K)).
Now we use thatc2.Ln-2 ([BG]
or[FL]),
the existence of aninteger
m >0,
m
depending only
on X andL,
such that H:= mL is veryample,
andthe existence of the Chow
variety (with respect
to theprojective
spaceP(H° (X, H)))
to obtain the boundedness of ++
1)
L +rK), (r - 1) 0)) (in
terms of X andL).
Thus the setB(X, L, r)
isbounded, proving
1.1.PROOF OF 01.
By [Fu],
Th.13.1,
the setA(n, g)
ofpairs (X, L)
withX n-dimensional
projective manifold,
L E Pic(X),
Lample
and of sec-tional genus g with
(X, L)
not a classical scroll(i.e.
a scroll in the senseof [Fu2],
not in the sense ofSommese)
is bounded. Note thatby
1.2 ifL =
det (E)
with Eample, (X, L)
is never a scroll since r : =rank (E)
>> 1.
By
1.6 for every(X, L) E A(n, g)
the setB(X, L)
is bounded. Fromthis, [Ma2],
and«general principles» (as
in[K11],
inparticular [Klll,
Th.
3.13) (or heavy
use ofsemicontinuity theorems)
it would be easy to deduce 0.1. But there is an alternativepath:
use theproof
of 1.6 in arelative
setting;
this ispossible
and 0.1 follows from[Fu],
Th.13.1,
andthe exact sequence
(1)
forfamilies, using
either[BPS]
or[L].
PROOF OF 0.3.
By
1.2 thepair (X, L)
has noexceptional
divisor inthe sense of
[Iol (i.e.
no divisor J =p2
withdeg (L ~ J),),
i.e.(X, L)
is itsown reduction.
By 1.2, [Io], part (1.7)
of the theoremin § 1,
and the fact(X, E)
is not aP2-bundle (again by 1.2),
we obtain that K + L is nef.With the notations
just
introduced(with n
=3)
we haveagain
the ex-act sequence
(1)
with Z smooth curve of genus g. Fix x E X and an inte-gral
surfaceBy
theampleness
of K +L,
thevanishing
of Ko-daira,
the classification of surfaces and the exact sequencewe see that tK + tL is
spanned by global
sectionsif, say, t >
12. Fix a smooth surface S E ~12K
+12L ~ ;
set x : = c2( 12K
+12L) : = 24( g - 1) 4x, then L 3 ~ 8( g - 1),
i.e.L 3 is
boundedonly
interm
of g
and we concludeby
0.1. Thus we may assumeM2
> 4x. Hence isBogomolov
unstable. Hence there is a filtrationwith finite and AM ~ BM
(i.e. A 2 ~ B 2
because A ® B =M).
Note thatB 2
> 0by
theampleness
of E. Since BM >0,
if BA0,
thenA 2
> the contradiction comes fromHodge
index theorem. SinceB 2 ~ 1, AB ~ 0, AB ~ x, A 2 ~ B 2
and(A 2 ) ( B 2 ) ~ (AB)2 ,
we obtainM 2 ~ 2x 2
+2x, proving
0.3.2. Positive characteristic.
Here we consider the case char
(K)
>0,
butonly
for n = 2 and r =2;
the restriction «n = 2» will be
extemely important
for theproof.
Hencehere X will be a smooth
projective
surface. Here we will prove the fol-lowing
result.212
PROPOSITION 2.1. Assume p : =
char (K)
> 0. Fix aninteger g ;
0.Then the set
A(2, 2, g) of
allpairs (X, E)
with Xsmooth,
Eample
andspanned,
rank(E)
=2,
E withcl-sectional
genus g(over K)
is bounded.PROOF. The
proof
will be divided into 5steps.
(a) By
theadjunction
formula we have:Hence if K - L ~ 0
(or -
K - L has an upper bounddepending only
ong), L 2
is bounded in terms of g. Note that K - L ~ 0 if X has Kodaira di- mensionx(X ) ~ 0,
Now take E EB(X, L, 2).
Since E isample,
wehave
L 2
> C2 and c2 > 0([BG]
or[FL]).
Hence ifL 2 is
boundedonly
interms
of g
there areonly finitely
manypossibilities
forc2 (E) (for
fixed
g).
(b)
Here we check that 1.6 holds in our situation under the as-sumption
thatK - L ~ 0 (or - K - L is
bounded in termsof g),
and in par- ticular tha it holds if X has Kodaira dimensionx(X) ~
0. Fix L withg(L) = g
andE E B(X, L, 2). By part (a) c2 (E)
can takeonly finitely
many values. We will
give
a few estimatesdepending only
on X andL : =
det (E).
If E isL-stable,
it is sufficient to note that the set of L- stable rank 2 vector bundles on X with C1 = L and fixed c2 is bounded([M1]
and[M2]).
Hence we may assume that E is notL-stable,
i.e. wemay assume the existence of the exact sequence
(3)
with AL ~ BL(i.e.
A 2 > B2).
Note thatB 2
> 0by
theampleness
of E. Since BL >0,
ifBA
0,
thenA 2
> the contradiction comes fromHodge
indextheorem. Since
B 2 ~ 1, AB ~ 0, AB~C2, A 2 ~ B 2
and(A 2) ( B 2 ) ~
;
(AB)2 ,
we obtainL 2 ~ 2(c2 )2
+2c2 , (exactly
the same words as in theproof
of0.3), concluding
thispart.
(c)
Here we assumex(X)
= 2 andgive
the full Proof of 2.1.By steps (a)
and(b)
it is sufficient to check the boundedness of the set of allpairs (X, L)
withfixed g: = g (L).
Fix any such X. Let U be the minimal model of X and let c be the number ofblowing-ups
ofpoints
needed topass from U to X
(hence (KU)2
=K2
+c). By
1.2 we have KL >2c;
since
L 2
>0,
c is boundedonly
in termsof g by
eq.(4).
Since bothL 2
and KL have
2g -
2 as upperbound, by Hodge
index theoremK2 has
anupper bound
depending only
on g. Thus( KU)2
is boundedonly
in termsof g. It is known
(see
for instance[Ko])
that thisimplies
the bounded-ness of the set of all
possible
minimal modelsU,
hence of thepossible
surfaces X. Hence we may fix
X;
it remainsonly
to show that the set ofpossible
L on a fixed X is bounded(or equivalently
the set of allpossi-
ble
3K + 6L).
Consider thepossible
Hilbertpolynomials p(t):=
: =
~(0(~(3~+6L))=a~+~~+~(0~)).
We have 2a =(3K
+6L)2
(which,
for fixedX,
is boundedonly
in terms ofg). By general princi- ples (see
for instanceagain [Kll],
Th.3.13)
it is sufficient togive
abound for
I a’ I
in terms of g, orequivalently
to bound It waschecked
in[AB] (using
the theorem stated in the introductionof [Ek]
as fundamental
tool)
thath 1 (3K
+6L)
= 0. Fix apoint x
of X. Note thatwe may find D e
3K
+ 6L ~11
withhigh multiplicity,
rrt at x, and in-creasing
withh ° (3K
+6L). By
the easypart
of a criterion ofampleness
due to Seshadri
([Ha]),
p.37),
and the fact that(3K
+6L) L ~ 12g,
wesee that m is bounded
by
a function of g; the same holds true for +6L).
Sinceh 2 (3K
+6L)
=0,
we obtain thatI
is boundedonly
in terms of g.(d)
Here we prove the full statement of 2.1 under theassumption
that
K(P 5 1, except
for the class ofquasi-elliptic
surfaces with p = 2or p = 3 and = 1 considered as
exceptional
cases in[Ek],
Th. 1.6of §
2.By assumption
we mayapply
Ekedhal’svanishing
theorem([Ek],
Th. 1.6 of
§ 2).
Thus withq : = q (X ) : _
: =
h 1 (OX).
Hence q is bounded in termsof g
ifk(X ) ~ 0;
if =1,
to prove the same assertion we need to bound p - this is doneexactly
as inthe last
part
ofstep (c).
Hence we may fix q. IfL 2 ~ 4q
+t(g)
witht(g)
any function
depending only
on g, theproof
ofpart (b) applies.
Thus wemay assume
L 2
>4q
+t(g)
for suitablet(g). By [BCM],
Th. 0.1 and Re- mark1.1,
for the case «k =1 »,
the line bundle K + L is veryample
forsuitable
t(g) (in
the casex(X)
= 1 we have to use thath ° (2K)
is bound- edby
a function of g,again by
theampleness
criterion of Seshadri([Ha],
p.37) exactly
as in the lastpart
ofstep (c)).
Let h be the embed-ding
of X into aprojective
space P determinedby K
+ Note thatsince
(K
+L)2 = K2 + KL + 2g - 2 8 + 2g - 2,
the set ofpossible
Xis bounded
(e.g. by
the existence of the Chow varieties ofP);
thus(as
in the first sketch of theproof
of0.1)
we may fix X. Fix ageneral integral
Cue
K + L ~ .
+
L 2 ,
wehave - KL ~ 7 + (L 2 )/3.
Thusby
eq.(4)
theinteger L 2
isbounded in terms
of g
and we mayapply
theproof
inpart (b).
(e)
Here we check theexceptional
cases with p = 2 or p = 3 leftopen in
step (d).
We haveonly
to find a suitableample
line bundle to whom toapply
Ekedhalvanishing theorem,
to obtain the boundedness of Let~:
X - C be thequasi-elliptic
fibration(i.e.
the Albanesemap).
Sinceby
1.2 K + L isnef,
we have( K
+L)2 > 0,
i.e.L 2 , KL,
andthe number of
blowing-ups
needed to obtain X from its minimal modelare bounded
by
a function of g. Look atparts (a)
and(b)
of the state-ment
of [Ek],
Th. 1.6in § 2;
we will use the notations of that statement.We do not need Kodaira
vanishing
forL;
it is sufficient to have itfor,
214
say,
L : = L ®3 .
With the notations of loc. cit. it is sufficient to checkthat h0(NXL-1)=0 if p=2 and h0(MXL-1)=0 if p=3. Note that
the
degree
of the restriction to ageneral
fiberof ~
of the line bundleN (if p = 2) or M (if p = 3) depend only
on p, not onX,
because it can be calculated aftercompletion
at onesufficiently general fiber,
further-more, this
degree depends only
on whathappens
to the restriction of such a line bundle near the cusp of T.Thus,
for instancefor p
=3,
deg (L )
will begreater
than such adegree;
henceh ° ( M ® L -1 )
= 0 aswanted.
