Lefschetz Defect in Families

Algebraic Geometry 2025-01-20 v1

Abstract

We provide a cohomological characterization of the Lefschetz defect of smooth complex projective varieties. As a consequence, we deduce that the Lefschetz defect of a smooth Fano variety is invariant under smooth deformation. We also characterize the Lefschetz defect of an abelian variety in terms of its isogeny factors, and study it in families.
