On certain complex projective manifolds with Hodge numbers \(h^{10}=4\) and \(h^{20}=5\) (Q2335873)

Let \( Z\) be a closed connected complex submanifold of \(\mathbb{P}^N_\mathbb{C}\) that satisfies the following: \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] The Hodge numbers of \(Z\) satisfy \(h^{10}(Z)=4\) and \(h^{20}(Z)=5\). \item[(ii)] The image of an Albanese map \(\alpha(Z)\subset\mathrm{Alb}(Z)\) has dimension \(\geq 2\). \item[(iii)] \(\mathrm{Alb}(Z)\) is a simple abelian variety. \end{itemize} Surfaces which satisfy these three conditions are constructed in Section 6 and the author considers the possible endomorphism algebras of the Albanese variety of \(Z\), \(E(\mathrm{Alb}(Z)):=\mathrm{End}(\mathrm{Alb}(Z))\otimes \mathbb{ Q}\). The main results are the following theorems. Theorem 0.2. \(E(\mathrm{Alb}(Z))\) does not have type I in Albert's classification of endomorphism algebras of simple abelian varieties. If \(E(\mathrm{Alb}(Z))\) has type II, then \(\dim_{\mathbb{Q}}(E(\mathrm{Alb}(Z)))\neq 8\). If \(E(\mathrm{Alb}(Z))\) has type IV, then \(\dim_{\mathbb{Q}}(E(\mathrm{Alb}(Z)))\neq 4\). Theorem 0.3. If \(E=E(\mathrm{Alb}(Z))\) is an imaginary quadratic number field, then the Hodge group of \(\mathrm{Alb}(Z)\) is the special unitary group of a four-dimensional Hermitian E-vector space. Furthermore, the Hodge group is quasi-split. The key step to prove the theorems is to show that \(Z\) does not admit a nonconstant morphism to a curve of genus \(\geq 2\) and the Hodge number \(h^{20}\) of the Hodge structure \(I^2 :=\mathrm{Ker}(\alpha^*:H^2(\mathrm{Alb}(Z), \mathbb{Q})\rightarrow H^2(Z,\mathbb{Q}))\) is \(1\).
