Generalized Albanese morphisms

From MaRDI portal
Publication:5480022




Abstract: We define generalizations of the Albanese variety for a projective variety X. The generalized Albanese morphisms X --> Alb_r(X) contract those curves C in X for which the induced morphism Hom(pi_1(X),U(r)) --> Hom(pi_1(C),U(r)) has a finite image. Thus, they may be interpreted as a U(r)-version of the Shafarevich morphism.
