Let $X$ be a normal projective variety and $f:X\to X$ a non-isomorphic polarized endomorphism. We give two characterizations for $X$ to be a toric variety. First we show that if $X$ is $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial and $G$-almost homogeneous for…

In this paper, we prove that a smooth projective variety $X$ of characteristic $p>0$ is an ordinary abelian variety if and only if $K_X$ is pseudo-effective and $F^e_*\mathcal O_X$ splits into a direct sum of line bundles for an integer $e$…

We show how to construct tilting bundles for a class of smooth projective varieties using characteristic $p$ methods. Given such a variety $X$, reduce it modulo a prime number and consider the direct image of the structure sheaf under the…

In this paper, we obtain a characterization of toric varieties via int-amplified endomorphisms. We prove that if $f \colon X \to X$ is an int-amplified endomorphism of a smooth complex projective variety $X$, then $X$ is toric if and only…

We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo $p^2$ - we expect that such varieties, after a finite \'etale cover, admit a toric fibration over…

For an ordinary abelian variety $X$, $F^e_*\mathcal{O}_X$ is decomposed into line bundles for every positive integer $e$. Conversely, if a smooth projective variety $X$ satisfies this property and its Kodaira dimension is non-negative, then…

In this paper we show that quotients of smooth projective toric varieties by $\mu_p$ in positive characteristics $p$ are toric varieties.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$ whose tangent bundle is nef. We prove that $X$ admits a smooth morphism $X \to M$ such that the fibers are Fano varieties with…

In this paper, we prove that a smooth projective globally $F$-split variety with numerically flat tangent bundle is an \'etale quotient of an ordinary abelian variety. We also show its logarithmic analog, which contains a characterization…

Let $D$ be a reduced divisor in $\mathbb P^n_k$ for an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic $p > 0$. We prove that if $(\mathbb P^n_k, D)$ is Frobenius liftable modulo $p^2$, then $D$ is a toric divisor. As a corollary,…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety of dimension $n$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ with ${\rm char}(k)=p>0$ and $F:X\to X_1$ be the relative Frobenius morphism. For any vector bundle $W$ on $X$, we prove that instability of…

Let X be a smooth toric variety stratified by the torus action. This paper is a presentation of a description of the category Perv_X of perverse sheaves on X relatively to the fixed stratification. We define a category of representations of…

We show that a Fourier--Mukai equivalence between smooth projective varieties of characteristic $p$ which commutes with either pushforward or pullback along Frobenius is a composition of shifts, isomorphisms, and tensor product with…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Given a semistable vector bundle $E$ over $X$, we show that its direct image $F\_*E$ under the Frobenius map…

This is a quick survey on the characteristic varieties associated to rank one local systems on a smooth, irreducible, quasi-projective complex variety $M$. A key new result is Proposition 1.8, giving additional information on the…

The main result of this paper is a structural theorem for projective Q-factorial toric varieties X in P^N, covered by lines. We prove that there exists a toric fibration f: X -> Z, locally trivial in the Zariski topology, with fiber a…

We give a $K$-theoretic criterion for a quasi-projective variety to be smooth. If $\mathbb{L}$ is a line bundle corresponding to an ample invertible sheaf on $X$, it suffices that $K_q(X) = K_q(\mathbb{L})$ for all $q\le\dim(X)+1$.

We give a new, shorter computation of Frobenius push-forwards of line bundles on toric varieties.

In this paper, which is the sequel to arXiv:1410.3742, we study the Frobenius pushforward of the structure sheaf on the adjoint varieties in type ${\bf A}_3$ and ${\bf A}_4$. We show that this pushforward sheaf decomposes into a direct sum…

Let X be a smooth, complete, toric variety. We study those curves C in X that are contractible, in the sense that there exists an equivariant morphism with connected fibers, with source X, that contracts exactly the irreducible curves that…
