On moment map and bigness of tangent bundles of $G$-varieties

Abstract

Let $G$ be a connected algebraic group and let $X$ be a smooth projective $G$-variety. In this paper, we prove a sufficient criterion to determine the bigness of the tangent bundle $TX$ using the moment map ${\Phi }_X^G:T^{\ast }X\to {\mathfrak{g}}^{\ast }$. As an application, the bigness of the tangent bundles of certain quasi-homogeneous varieties are verified, including symmetric varieties, horospherical varieties and equivariant compactifications of commutative linear algebraic groups. Finally, we study in details the Fano manifolds $X$ with Picard number $1$ which is an equivariant compactification of a vector group ${\mathbb{G}}_a^n$. In particular, we will determine the pseudoeffective cone of $\mathbb{P}(T^{\ast }X)$ and show that the image of the projectivised moment map along the boundary divisor $D$ of $X$ is projectively equivalent to the dual variety of the VMRT of $X$.
