Video summary
The video presents a mathematical talk centered on extending holomorphic sections within families of Kähler manifolds, specifically addressing conditions under which a section defined over a central fiber can be extended to the entire total space. The speaker outlines a structured approach involving proper smooth families where fibers are Kähler, utilizing canonical boundaries and line bundles that are multiples of these boundaries. A key hypothesis involves finding an extension of a section such that its associated differential operator satisfies specific $L^2$ conditions on the central fiber. Under these constraints, particularly when the curvature of the line bundle is semi-positive, the main conclusion is that the section can indeed be extended one step further to the whole space, effectively solving the infinitesimal extension problem for this class of families.
The presentation contrasts this result with classical approaches and previous work by mathematicians like Matsumura, highlighting a significant distinction in the assumptions regarding metrics. Unlike earlier results that required a privileged semi-positive metric over the entire family, this new framework operates without such a global positivity assumption, relying instead on the specific behavior of the section near singularities. The speaker explains that the motivation stems from a broader conjecture about pluricanonical sections and emphasizes that while the problem was solved for projective families by Antoninov in 2002 using ample line bundles, the current setup deals with non-reduced settings where standard tools like Hodge theory must be adapted to handle logarithmic poles and singular connections.
To prove these results, the talk details a sophisticated application of differential geometry involving intrinsic operators derived from vector fields and singular connections. The core strategy involves iteratively differentiating equations to eliminate powers of the defining section $s$, transforming an initially unfriendly equation with severe poles into one featuring only logarithmic poles. This transformation relies on a generalized version of the Hodge decomposition theorem adapted for currents, allowing the separation of harmonic forms from exact terms even in the presence of singularities. By manipulating these equations and utilizing the specific structure of the metric's curvature, the speaker demonstrates that the difference between the original form and its extension becomes $\bar{\partial}$-exact, thereby confirming the extendability of the section.
Finally, the speaker applies this theoretical breakthrough to injectivity theorems in a compact manifold setting with simple normal crossing divisors. The result establishes that the map induced by holomorphic forms into cohomology is injective for any degree $q$, provided the line bundle has semi-positive curvature and the section does not vanish identically on intersections of divisor components. The proof technique involves constructing a new metric that combines smooth and singular parts to convert poles along specific divisors into logarithmic ones, which can then be managed using vector fields and contraction arguments. This work contributes to a broader industry of injectivity theorems, building upon contributions from researchers like Fujino, Choi, and Matsumura, and offers a powerful tool for understanding the geometry of singular spaces without relying on global positivity assumptions.

we started with this project with Junior
and saw a couple of years ago the idea
was to
prove some results and also to celebrate
uh
who persons joining The Elegant Club of
over 70s gentlemen
so what you will see next it's somehow
updated version of that of the paper
so let's you know how do we move this
okay
this is how my talk will be structured
and let's start with a few let's say
notations we have here a proper smooth
family such that all the fibers are
Keller
and as usual we not KX here the
canonical boundary of the global family
and then let's assume that we have a
line bounded on on the total space on x
and for each positive okay we consider
this shift
X Plus L Twisted with this ugly beast
memory so so the the sections of this
shift are holomorphic sections module or
t to the to the power K plus one okay so
deeper is not zero but it's a multiple
of this t to the power K plus one okay
you are presented in a big down to earth
terms and then of course we have a
projection from SK plus 1 to FK
which is simply
the one you will imagine very natural
and then the the main question that I
would like to discuss next is um so
let's say that we have a section here in
this
sorry
we had a pause I mean I we lost you we
lost you
you uh your introduction of the FK
sheaves I see all right well let's hope
for for no more interruptions internet
here has been uh you know intermittent
okay so
uh so we we have this this shift FK so
like the holomorphic sections or in K
plus n modular t to the power K plus one
and then
um together with the natural projection
between two successive such shifts
and then the question that I would like
to discuss now in the what follows is um
and under which uh conditions for
example positivity or
whatever on L uh a section here in FK
can be lifted can be extended One Step
farther
now uh so let's see what would be the
the main result the main result is as
follows so now we assume that the the
bundle L is simply a multiple of the
canonical boundary KX
and uh we did not buy l straight if I
may call it so the Restriction of L to X
and here we have uh we have a metric
given by the right multiple of the the
section here restricted to the to the
central fiber if you want to the zero
zero infinitesimal neighborhood
the central fiber and then
another part of the data is of the
hypothesis is that there is some
extension of of S as smooth a section of
K plus l
such that so the D Bar is multiple of TK
plus one so this is of course not a
hypothesis the hypothesis is that we can
find such as K such that this L2
hypothesis is satisfied for any Epsilon
positive
okay so this is by no no means
guaranteed the event that here fire
has uh has singularities but we assume
that we can find such an extension
Escape
and then the conclusion is that we can
extend uh our s One Step farther so as
is in the image of Pi K okay so module
of these two hypothesis
which shouldn't be there as some of you
know but modular this hypothesis the
we can do the we can extend S one step
further
so yes for some some more General result
involving
abstract line bundle L not a multiple of
the canonical
so I invite you to check to have a look
on the version of the web
so to put this result in um in a context
let's recall the following
uh of course it's good to start with a
classic
and so on so let's say that we have a
Keller family and the line bundle on X
together with a section
of K plus L over the central fiber
excuse me
so now here the hypothesis are that the
curvature is semi-positive but on the
total space and together with the
natural
hypothesis and then the conclusion is
that we can extend U to the whole Space
so if you want here
um we use Define for k equals to zero in
the previous slide and then we can
extend up to k equals to Infinity so to
speak over the whole family of course
the the
big difference is that we have this
positivity assumption over the whole of
the whole family
another another result which is somehow
In The Same Spirit was established by
matsumura in 2016.
and it says the following so we have
here the uh still a killer seven years
before together with the line bundle and
a section of our shift FK so holomorphic
module or t to the K plus one
uh again the curvature is semi-positive
on the global space
and and then
um another hypothesis that you admits an
extension UK
such that this uh d by UK divided by T
to the power K plus 1 is the N1 form
which is which satisfies this head to uh
hypothesis on the whole family
and then again U extends from K to
Infinity to the to the whole Space
okay so uh so it's somehow in the in the
same spirit
the the big big important difference is
at this level that uh our case we don't
have any any privileged metric uh
semi-positively curve on the whole Space
so
um what would be the motivation for this
for this infinitesimal extension if you
want
of course it comes from this uh
important conjecture of
saying that plural chemical section is
defined over the central fiber of the
family extends to the whole X
and
um
it is somehow
let's say agreed among the people who
work on this problem that is not just a
problem it's not a problem just in
itself but rather what we have to
understand what are the new tools we
have to develop in order to solve it
in any case what is known is that this
was solved in Newton by Anton Co in 2002
for for projected feminism and it's an
embeddings
and it's uh one of the very important
tools in the final generation of
chemical Rings so-called famous bchm
and just to tell you why projective well
projective it's it's needed because the
proof or use in our essential manner
this linear series of uh you know
systems multiple of KX plus a where a is
an amp aligned bundle so I cannot do it
without this ample line boundary and the
three Key properties of of this linear
systems
but okay any must be there and it's not
in the current case
still in the in the in the setup of uh
of the main theorem that I stated before
the for the feminist the the particular
case of Mark Levin was was known so he
was using horse theory in the
non-reduced non-reduced setting
we somehow limit the the
singularities you can admit for this
section we want to extend
okay so as
um
uh I'm a very very optimistic person and
I think that you can follow everything
very quickly online just like that I
will uh
um uh discuss the truth of this of this
result just I will the idea is to
overview somehow the main steps okay
so we have at hand this section as K
which is this multiple of number okay
and we are interested in the the
jurisdiction Lambda divided by DTS or
this I hope the notation is very clear
so Lambda K is a n n plus one one form
so of course is divisible by DT so we
take the Restriction to the to the
essential fiber
X
and then uh given this equation here uh
what we know about Lambda K is that
these people are closed on the central
fiber
and then the the conclusion so what we
want to achieve is equivalent to the
fact that uh Lambda K is D Bar exact
okay so but here we only require this on
the central fiber okay that's it that's
a deep important difference with this
time to
the usual setting when we try to solve
the D by equation on the space to the
SpaceX
and then uh so in trying to do so
showing that Lambda K is B Bar exact
the first step would be to do the
following
to show that in fact this Lambda K
thanks to the property we have here
can be written in the image of the
operator D Bar and D Prime
um I mean so the the on the central
fiber and point wise in the complement
of this set s equals to zero
so D Prime is the the
with you
corresponding to this to this L and the
singular singular connection and um so
this is certainly a good news because it
looks like what it should right if we
have a look at the Hodge Theory this is
Alpha and beta would be smooth we will
be done but that's of course not the
case we only have coefficients here
uh smooth divided by some powers of the
section s and who's responsible for that
you will see it in a moment here
so let's see how we go about this this
claim of course we have this equation on
the total space
we want to get rid of this uh multiple
T2 to the power K plus one so the most
natural idea would be to uh
simply take the derivative of that with
respect to T now of course we are on a
manifold we cannot take derivatives just
like that
so we have to construct some some
intrinsic objects which will do this for
us and this is
um those are very very well known so we
construct a d derivative in order to do
that
so the the component derivative that we
will take is the one induced by the
extension we have at hand so it would be
singular here so again FK is just C
Infinity but still the formula still
makes sense
and in the end we will restrict on the
central fiber so in this case uh
honestly an automorphic section the
function
and then another another object here is
that is a vector field
a smooth Vector field on the whole
family which is D over DT plus something
else okay so this is the existence of
such object it's standard
and then we Define the lead derivative
acting on forms of this type
we simply contract with the vector field
here x i and take D Prime okay so in
doing so
of course uh we get some map within
those spaces but it's not exactly
correct because we get some poles right
because of the Prime here is singular
nevertheless so we can we can
he was delivered derivative for this
equation and what we get on the right
hand side it's not difficult to guess
it's simply this right so we take the
derivative this lowest index here with
one degree
and on the left hand side let's see so
we said that we take the contraction
with PSI and then we Theta D Prime
so when you commute PSI and V bar you
get this term here
and then
um uh Computing D Prime and D Bar then
you will get something like the
curvature form so
the the the formula will look I mean
you'll replace this last
by this expression here
so somehow given given the the type of
the connection that we choose the
curvature term here has uh influence on
the right hand side if you want it
becomes this
so after one derivative
this equation transforms like that so we
lower the index here which is what we
wanted but we have some additional um
guy here in the image of D Prime and
moreover this guy is singular right
because
now we would like to do this uh to
repeat this process in order to get rid
of t to the k
and then the the important remark here
because we have a new enemy here D Prime
of this form
so the the remark is that when we take a
D Bar oxide so PSI was D over DT plus
something so the D Bar kills the over DT
so the the contraction is still multiple
of DT
and then delete the derivative of D
Prime of such object has the same shape
now this is just a differential geometry
uh formula
rather long but nothing spectacular is
happening here
so the point is now that um
we can do this that we can repeat this
process right so you can iterate this
process so of the K plus 1 derivatives
if we are at this point
and the shape of Alpha and beta of
course it's uh if you have the Curiosity
of doing this already after two
derivatives it gets very complicated but
we know that we know that uh the
coefficients would be metamorphic forms
of the type indicated in the claim
okay so let's say that we have this uh
this equality here at this point now the
the point is that this um
uh equation can be obtained without any
L2 hypothesis but the L2 hypothesis that
we have at the beginning which was
exactly this one on the central fiber
now this one uh can be somehow used in
order to improve Alpha and beta here to
make to to replace the ugly ones that we
have here beautiful ones which is uh
which by which we mean the four I mean
the following
so we take a low resolution of the of
the devices so the device is maybe very
singular
hypersurface and we make this divisorial
and the simple normal crossing of the
support
so we write the components like e plus F
you will see y e plus F in one second in
one click
so somehow the this equation
uh so we take the pullback of of the
integral on X hat and then due to some
arithmetic uh
conditions here with the m and the
vanishing order of s
what you can what you can do is to
transform Lambda K in a form with values
in E plus n where e is has this shape
and L
has this metric with coefficients
strictly between zero and one okay this
makes the difference between these two
type of components here
and then so if we change the rotation
and Alpha and beta and Lambda and
everything so we can forget about
everything else now our equation looks
like that
Lambda Lambda K divided by the let's say
the section Associated to this it's in
the image of D Bar plus d Prime as here
but now
the the novelty is that we can assume
that those Alpha and beta have
logarithmic poles that is a huge gain
that we have
uh out of this simple number causing
condition and after this L2 okay so so
we transform this equation which is
rather unfriendly into something with
log poles which
okay and then uh so now let's look at
this this equation a little bit closer
um so uh we can assume Alpha equals to
zero to start with simply by moving this
term on the other on the other hand on
the other
side
and
observing that se times Alpha is is
regular because Alpha has uh log pulse
and then somehow the heart of the matter
would be to establish the establish the
following general statement so here
Omega C uh would be a metric with let's
say chronic singularities but
coefficients are
standard like one minus one over m
well one minus one over some integer
which is divisible enough so that the
coefficients that we have in the
curvature of L are so when multiply with
this here we will become integers okay
so we need this this to work we expected
this sort of metric
and then uh we have a hermitian line
boundary on X which which looks like
that the curvature is has some
divisorial path and we allow some some
smooth semi-positive one one but in the
curvature
and then we also consider this time a NQ
form
for Q at least one a form with values in
L plus e
so uh and we assume that we can find
forms better on and better too with this
sort of log pulse in E plus the
singularities that this metric has
such that we have uh the quotient Lambda
divided by SE is in the image of D Prime
of beta 1 plus this smooth part of the
curvature wedge beta 2.
so uh so um
and you will see so if we ignore here
Alpha which we said that we can do
that's exactly the type of hypothesis we
are here in two so we assume that this
whole is pointwise the complement of
this divisor and the conclusion is that
Lambda is the bar exact
which is exactly how which was exactly
our goal so so this is uh somehow the
the main result which makes uh things
work at this point
and of course if this slide is called DB
bar lemis for obvious reasons right
because
um is uh somehow if you have a
generalized version of the usual typical
name and the host Theory okay if you
have the novelty is that we allow the
curvature of Health to be part of the
story
and still if we have the right sign
which means
positive then we can draw the same
conclusion
now just I will just comment one second
about the the the tools that we use in
order to to prove such a result
of course since uh it's about digital
Lemma no wonder that host the
composition comes into the picture
it's a little bit more General version
that what we learn in school as horse
decomposition but still given that we
are in a very
um
somehow
friendly situation having here
singularities but which are
so that the connecting light is are of
the standard type are all default type
so the only reason we need this is
because of the singularities we have in
L and still get a
we need a complete analog of the house
decomposition which we can do by simply
mimicking the visual proof
and another piece of of uh information
if you want is that we have we are able
to establish as a consequence of this
version of host decomposition and we
have the so-called the ramkodea
decomposition for currents which are
induced by a lot for not forms without
points now
um so
that if we have a current on a manifold
of a PQ type then you can write it as we
can Define its projection on the space
of harmonic forms and plus the LaPlace
of the green operator of some other
current okay so so the the horse
decomposition holds if you
provided that it's written and
interpreted in the right way sense of
current
and if you want one of the the first uh
very nice application that I know of
that was by Judo noguchi who showed that
actually
holomorphic forms with blog posts are
closed in his uh in his proof this was
somehow the code era the composition of
a current was uh that the first I think
very nice is spectacular if you want
application of these techniques
somehow we do something like that here
okay so this we use it for this type of
currents and then well a few things are
happening
um and we are able to show that we're
able basically to use that uh
the the
familiar like
the The Familiar Duality Duality
argument to say that Lambda which the
form of the right degree
um is bounded by the quantity that you
know
so
um yeah unfortunately I cannot I cannot
go farther into the details of this but
um somehow if you remember these
keywords I think that's rather that's
good enough and in any case this solves
the problem here so um
for Q equals to 1 we have exactly what
we are waiting for we're expecting that
Lambda is
um
debug exact
sign so let me
um
now uh present an application of this
this
and uh it's that statement is the
following so we have a compacable
manifold
together with a simple number possible
noise e and we have also a line bundle
which here is called f
which is in down with a metric
non-singular well this exists after all
in more similar Matrix such that the
curvature is semi-positive so it's a
semi-positive hermitian semi-positive
line bundle
and we also have a holomorphic section
of some multiple
but it has the the property that when we
restrict to any uh intersection of the
components of E
this is not Vanishing identically okay
and the conclusion is that the map this
section induces in cohomology for HQ in
this form so NQ forms with values in E
plus f
is injective for any Q positive
so this is uh one of the
[Music]
um
results in a whole industry called
injectivity theorems and then um
I put here some some of the contributors
started with tanker Colonial server or
maybe uh somehow at the beginning
some many things happen in the meantime
and
in uh nowadays
maybe the main contributor would be here
like uh fujino Chan and Choi and
matsumura
somehow in an axis projective this was
established by uh
and he asked this question one of his
work like um some time ago
um uh in the meantime many particular
cases were established but um
somehow
not in this degree of generality
so let's see what this has to do with
the DP bar Lemma so um I will only
discuss a very particular case when this
zero set of of the section which gives
the map
is a smooth hyper surface it's why
and then things since we have this
hypothesis that as restricted on any
intersection is non-vanishing
not identically Vanishing then of course
the sum here would be would have a
simple number Crossing
and then so let's take a NQ form Alpha
with values in this e plus F such that
when we multiply it with s then it
becomes D Bar exact
and then we will do something horrible
we will divide by S and F E so of course
this equation will still hold but
naturally in the complement of the zero
set of those right because I mean we
didn't solve the problem right we just
reform reformulate this equality here
and now so the idea is to somehow do
something with this form in order to
make it look like in the image of the D
prime plus eventually something having
to do with the curvature of f
and then this is done as follows so
let's say that we consider the following
metric on on F like the
this convex combination of the the
smooth metric that we have this Phi F
and a small fraction of the uh of the
section s itself okay in this this
defines a Pneumatic on F
which of course looks at the first side
like a crazy thing to do because we have
here a perfectly smooth semi-positively
Curve Metric and we replace it with
something which is singular
but the idea is that um
by using this by using the singularities
of this metric we can construct these
forms Theta beta1 and beta2 such that
this new form here has only log poles
along e as opposed to this one which has
spawns along e plus y
and then the the other ones better and
beta2 they have log calls along the B
plus y
so once again the the in order to do
this the singular part of the of the
metric is crucial
okay so so somehow we do simple
manipulations with this and uh Vector
Fields smooth vectors tangent tangent
to y in the tangent in the logarithmic
tangent excuse me uh
Associated to Y and then uh by by
contraction and derivatives we can
replace this with the distance the idea
is we can eliminate the poles of the
pulse of along y
and now so if we combine this equality
which holds again in the complement of
the sum with the the previous one it
follows that we have this new expression
Lambda minus D Bar of this form divided
by s e is in the image of the prime plus
Theta f
now this is again uh in the complement
of this device but the the the as
opposed to this equality it holds in the
sense of currents on the whole on the
manifold for x
and anyway in any case we can apply the
the
um
previous result and
showing that which gives us precisely
that this difference is uh is the deeper
exact and so that's the case for Lambda
