Hyperbolicity of adjoint linear series on varieties with positive tangent bundle

Algebraic Geometry 2025-12-30 v2

Abstract

Let XX be a smooth projective variety of dimension n3n\geq 3, and let LL be an ample line bundle on XX. In this article, we study the algebraic hyperbolicity of a very general section of the adjoint linear series KX+mL|K_X+mL| when the tangent bundle TXT_X of XX has suitable positivity properties. As a consequence, we show that the linear system KX+mL|K_X+mL| is hyperbolic (or pseudo-hyperbolic) for m3n+1m\geq 3n+1, for various classes of polarized pairs (X,L)(X,L), thus providing new evidence of a conjecture that was proposed by the second and fourth authors. Moreover, when XX is abelian, we show that the linear system mL|mL| is hyperbolic for mnm\geq n, and the same holds when mn1m\geq n-1, if L|L| has no base divisors. It turns out that these bounds for abelian varieties are sharp. We also prove analogous statements for Kummer varieties and certain classes of hyperelliptic varieties.
