If Y is a smooth compactification of U, such that D := Y U is a simple normal crossing divisor, then we can consider the sheaf of differentials with logarithmic poles along D. Viehweg and Zuo have shown that for some number m>0, the m-th symmetric power of this sheaf admits many sections. More precisely, the m-th symmetric power contains an invertible sheaf whose Kodaira-Iitaka dimension is at least the variation of the family. We refine this result and show that this \"Viehweg-Zuo sheaf\" comes from the coarse moduli space associated to the given family, at least generically. As an immediate corollary, if U is a surface, we see that the non-isotriviality assumption implies that U cannot be special in the sense of Campana.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-04-16T08:28:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14D22" ], "keywords": [ "coarse moduli space", "positive sheaves", "differentials coming", "m-th symmetric power contains", "simple normal crossing divisor" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0904.2445J" } } }
