Structure of geometrically non-reduced varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2023-01-06 v2

Abstract

We prove a structural result for geometrically non-reduced varieties and give applications to Fano varieties. For example, we show that if XX is the generic fibre of a Mori fibre space of relative dimension nn, and the characteristic is p>2n+1p>2n+1, then any geometric non-reducedness of XX comes from the base of some fibration.
