Globally F-regular varieties: Applications to vanishing theorems for quotients of Fano varieties (Q5954577): Difference between revisions

The main results of this paper are on the vanishing of higher cohomology modules of certain line bundles. The author introduces globally F-regular varieties as follows: a projective variety over a Frobenius-finite (prime characteristic) field is globally F-regular if it admits some section ring that is F-regular. A scheme (in characteristic 0) is of strongly F-regular type if in some standard ``reduction to characteristic \(p\)'' a dense set of closed fibers (of positive prime characteristic) is globally F-regular. The author proves that these varieties satisfy strong vanishing properties. Examples of varieties of globally F-regular type are Fano varieties with rational singularities, projective toric varieties, and geometric invariant quotients. Smith proves equivalent formulations of global F-regularity in terms of stable Frobenius splitting. All the theory and notions are carefully and elegantly explained.
