Such varieties are called fake products of projective lines or fake $(\\mathbb P^1)^n$. These are higher dimensional analogs of fake quadrics. In this paper we show that the number of fake $(\\mathbb P^1)^n$ is finite (independently of $n$), we give examples of fake $(\\mathbb P^1)^4$ and show that for $n>4$ there are no fake $(\\mathbb P^1)^n$ of the form $\\Gamma\\backslash \\mathbb H^n$ with $\\Gamma$ contained in the norm-1 group of a maximal order of a quaternion algebra over a real number field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-12T22:39:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "betti numbers", "general type", "fold product", "upper half plane", "real number field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1411.3384D" } } }
