Irregularities of special C-pairs

Stefan Kebekus, Erwan Rousseau, Frédéric Touzet

TL;DR

The paper addresses irregularity-type invariants for special $\mathcal{C}$-pairs in Campana’s framework, proving a universal bound $q^+(X,D)\le \dim X$ under mild singularities and broadening Campana’s classic results. It develops a robust toolkit: an extension theorem for adapted reflexive differentials, a foliated-albanese approach via covers, and a Bogomolov-type theory built from strict wedge subspaces to control invariants across covers. Central to the analysis is the construction of $G$-invariant Bogomolov sheaves and the use of Kodaira-Iitaka dimensions of adapted differential sheaves, all culminating in the main bound for augmented irregularity. The results illuminate the interplay between differential-geometric invariants and birational geometry in the minimal model program, with implications for “special” vs. non-special behavior and potential density phenomena in arithmetic and analytic contexts.

Abstract

This paper studies irregularity-type invariants of special C-pairs, or "geometric orbifolds" in the sense of Campana. Under mild assumptions on the singularities, we show that the augmented irregularity of a C-pair (X,D) is bounded by its dimension. This generalizes earlier results of Campana, and strengthens known results even in the classic case where X is a projective manifold and D = 0. The proof builds on new extension results for adapted forms, analysis of foliations on Albanese varieties, and constructions of Bogomolov sheaves using strict wedge subspaces of adapted forms.
