The anticanonical bigness conjecture for projective splinters
The anticanonical bigness conjecture for projective splinters
Let be a splinter, meaning that every finite surjective morphism onto admits a splitting of the corresponding map of structure sheaves. Assume that is a -Gorenstein projective scheme over a field of positive characteristic.
Anticanonical bigness conjecture. If is a splinter, then is big.
This conjecture is motivated by the expectation that splinters in positive characteristic should be globally -regular; global -regularity imposes strong positivity constraints, including bigness of the anticanonical divisor in the -Gorenstein case. Its resolution is not specified in the source.
