The Noether–Lefschetz theorem in arbitrary characteristic

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We show that if X ⊂ PNk is a normal variety of dimension ≥ 3 and H ⊂ PNk a very general hypersurface of degree d = 4 or ≥ 6, then the restriction map Cl(X) → Cl(X ∩ H) is an isomorphism up to torsion. If dim X ≥ 4, the result holds for d ≥ 2. The proof uses the relative Jacobian of a curve fibration, together with a specialization argument, and the result holds over fields of arbitrary characteristic.
