A generalization of the Kobayashi-Ochiai theorem

Publication date 26 February 2009

Abstract: Let

p h i : B b b C^{n} o X

a holomorphic map to an

n

-dimensional connected compact complex manifold

X

. We establish links between the positivity properties of the canonical bundle of

X

and the rate of growth of

p h i

which extend results of Kodaira and Kobayashi-Ochiai. For example: if the average degree of

p h i

on balls of radius

r

grows slowlier than

r^{2 n}

, then

K_{X}

is not pseudo-effective. If

X

is moreover projective, it is uniruled. Assuming now that

K_{X}

is pseudoeffective, of numerical dimension

u

, we show that the characteristic function of

p h i

grows at least as fast as

r^{((2 n) / (n - u))}

.
