Non-algebraic compact Kähler threefolds admitting endomorphisms (Q763650): Difference between revisions

The authors classify (up to étale coverings) all non-projective threedimensional compact Kähler manifolds \(X\) which admit a surjective holomorphic map \(f:X\rightarrow X\) whose general fiber has \(d\geq 2\) elements. The map \(f\) is necessarily finite and can only be ramified when \(X\) is uniruled. General results of \textit{F. Campana} [Invent. Math. 63, 187--223 (1981; Zbl 0436.32024)] and \textit{N. Nakayama} and \textit{D.-Q. Zhang} [Math. Ann. 346, No. 4, 991--1018 (2010; Zbl 1189.14043)] imply that the general fiber of the Iitaka fibration of a non-projective compact Kähler manifold \(X\) is not an elliptic curve, hence \(\kappa(X)\leq 1\). For \(X\) non-uniruled \(\kappa(X)\) equals zero or one and is used as classification parameter. If \(\kappa(X)=0\), then \(X\) is either a complex torus or an étale covering of a product \(E\times Y\), \(E\) an elliptic curve, \(Y\) bimeromorphic to a K3 surface. If \(\kappa(X)=1\), then \(X\) is an étale covering of a product \(C\times S\), either \(C\) a surface of general type and \(S\) a complex torus or \(C\) an elliptic curve and \(S\) an elliptic surface. The case \(X\) uniruled is more involved since \(f\) may be ramified. The algebraic dimension of \(X\) serves here as a classification parameter. \(X\) is an étale covering of a projectivized line bundle \(\mathbb P(E)\) over a complex torus \(A\) or a product \(S\times \mathbb P^1\), further details depending on \(a(X)\). The proofs are based on Mori theory for compact Kähler threefolds, see also [the second author, Math. Ann. 311, No. 4, 729--764 (1998; Zbl 0919.32016)]. The authors achieve new results in this area, in particular they establish a minimal model program for compact Kähler threefolds admitting non-trivial finite étale coverings. \newline For endomorphisms of smooth projective threefolds see \textit{Y.
