Higher-dimensional Shafarevich conjecture for canonically polarized manifolds

About 16 years old · traced to

Let UU) be a smooth variety, let BB be a smooth compactification of UU such that Δ:=B∖U\Delta:=B\setminus U is a global normal crossing divisor, and fix a Hilbert polynomial hh. For a family f:X→Uf:X\to U of canonically polarized manifolds with Hilbert polynomial hh, write Var⁡f\operatorname{Var} f for the dimension of the image of its moduli map. The higher-dimensional Shafarevich expectations include the following.

Higher-dimensional Shafarevich conjecture. (B) Families of canonically polarized manifolds over UU with Hilbert polynomial hh fall into finitely many deformation equivalence classes. (R) No good comprehensive conjecture is known; Viehweg's rigidity conjecture asserts that if f:X→Uf:X\to U is a family of projective manifolds with ΩX/U\Omega_{X/U} relatively ample, then ff is rigid. (H) For a family f:X→Uf:X\to U of canonically polarized manifolds, Viehweg's hyperbolicity conjecture asserts that if Var⁡f=dim⁡B\operatorname{Var} f=\dim B, then ωB(Δ)\omega_B(\Delta) is big, equivalently κ(B,Δ)=dim⁡B\kappa(B,\Delta)=\dim B; the Kebekus--Kovács conjecture gives the conditions κ(B,Δ)<−∞\kappa(B,\Delta)<-\infty and Var⁡f<dim⁡Y\operatorname{Var} f<\dim Y, or κ(B,Δ)≥0\kappa(B,\Delta)\geq0 and Var⁡f≤k(B,Δ)\operatorname{Var} f\leq k(B,\Delta); and Campana's conjecture asserts that if (B,Δ)(B,\Delta) is special, then ff is isotrivial, where special means that for every pp and every line bundle L⊆ΩBp(log⁡Δ)\mathcal L\subseteq\Omega_B^p(\log\Delta), k(L)<pk(\mathcal L)<p.

These statements generalize the finiteness, rigidity, and hyperbolicity parts of the classical Shafarevich conjecture from families of curves to families of higher-dimensional canonically polarized manifolds. The source explicitly notes that no comprehensive rigidity conjecture is known and presents several distinct hyperbolicity conjectures.
