When X has only klt singularities and is not a complex torus, we show that either Aut(X) is almost cyclic, or it has only finitely many connected components.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-10-26T13:05:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J50", "14E07", "32H50" ], "keywords": [ "picard number", "birational automorphism groups", "projective varieties", "klt calabi-yau pairs", "morrison-kawamata cone conjecture" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1307.5490Z" } } }
