Continuous families of divisors, paracanonical systems and a new inequality for varieties of maximal Albanese dimension

Abstract

Given a smooth complex projective variety X, a line bundle L of X and v H1(OX), we say that v is k–transversal to L if the complex Hk1(L) Hk(L) Hk+1(L) is exact. We prove that if v is 1–transversal to L and s H0(L) satisfies s v = 0, then the first order deformation (sv,Lv) of the pair (s,L) in the direction v extends to an analytic deformation.

We apply this result to improve known results on the paracanonical system of a variety of maximal Albanese dimension, due to Beauville in the case of surfaces and to Lazarsfeld and Popa in higher dimension. In particular, we prove the inequality pg(X) χ(KX) + q(X) 1 for a variety X of maximal Albanese dimension without irregular fibrations of Albanese general type.

Keywords
paracanonical system, irregular varieties, varieties of maximal Albanese dimension, numerical invariants
