Endomorphisms of singular del Pezzo surfaces

Burt Totaro

A natural problem of algebraic dynamics is to classify the complex projective varieties that admit an endomorphism of degree greater than 1. Joshi solved the problem for all canoni…

Chow groups with twisted coefficients

Burt Totaro

Rost defined the Chow group of algebraic cycles with coefficients in a locally constant torsion etale sheaf. We generalize the definition to allow non-torsion coefficients. Chow gr…

Terminal 3-folds that are not Cohen-Macaulay

Burt Totaro

An important local vanishing theorem for the minimal model program is the fact that klt singularities in characteristic zero are Cohen-Macaulay. In contrast, even in the narrow set…

Log canonical pairs with conjecturally minimal volume

Louis Esser, Burt Totaro

We construct log canonical pairs with a nonzero reduced divisor and ample that have the smallest known volume. We conjecture that our examples have the smallest…

Endomorphisms of Fano 3-folds and log Bott vanishing

Burt Totaro

Kawakami and the author showed that a projective variety with an int-amplified endomorphism of degree invertible in the base field satisfies Bott vanishing. That was a new way to a…

Bott vanishing for Fano 3-folds

Burt Totaro

Bott proved a strong vanishing theorem for sheaf cohomology on projective space, namely that for every , , and ample. This holds for tor…
