Abstract: We extend two results on Chow (semi-)stability to positive characteristics. One is on the stability of non-singular projective hypersurfaces of degree greater than 2, and the other is the criterion by Y. Lee in terms of log canonical thresholds. Some properties of log-canonicity in positive characteristics are discussed with a couple of examples, in connection with the proof of the latter one. It is also proven in appendix that the sum of Chow (semi-)stable cycles are again Chow (semi-)stable.

Review text

The goal of this paper is to extend two well-known results to a field \(k\) of arbitrary characteristic. The first result is that a non singular projective hypersurface of degree \(d\geq 3\) is Chow stable. The second result is that for \(X\) an effective cycle of dimension \(r\) and degree \(d\) in \(\mathbb{P}^n_k\), \(Z(X)\subset \mathrm{Gr}(n-r,n+1)\) the Chow divisor of \(X\), if the log canonical threeshold \(\mathrm{lct}(\mathrm{Gr}(n-r,n+1),Z(X))\) of the induced log pair is greater than \((n+1)/d\) then one has Chow stability of \(X\). The first result was proved by D. Mumford and the second by Y. Lee for characteristic \(0\). The differences with the original proofs are explained in details and some examples and counterexamples are given about the behavior of the lct in positive characteristic. The paper is well written and contains interesting materials.
