On Ueno's conjecture K (Q842304): Difference between revisions

The famous Iitaka \(C_{n,m}\) conjecture states that if \(f: X\rightarrow Y\) is a surjective morphism of smooth complex projective varieties with connected general fiber \(F\), then their Kodaira dimensions satisfy \[ \kappa (X)\geq \kappa (F)+\kappa (Y). \] An important test case is Ueno's conjecture K: Let \(a:X\rightarrow A\) be the Albanese map of \(X\) with general fiber \(F\), then (1) \(a\) is a surjective morphism with connected fibers, (2) \(\kappa(F)=0\), (3) there is an étale cover \(B\rightarrow A\) such that \(X\times_A B\) is birationally equivalent to \(F\times B\) over \(A\). In this paper, the authors prove the following theorem: Let \(X\) be a smooth projective variety with \(\kappa(X)=0\) and \(a:X\rightarrow A\) be its Albanese map with general fiber \(F\), then \(\kappa(F)\leq \)dim\(A\). The idea of the proof is similar to \textit{Y. Kawamata}'s proof in [Invent. Math. 66, 57--71 (1982; Zbl 0461.14004)]. The technique is to use the theory of Fourier-Mukai transforms to estimate \(\kappa(F)\).
