In the last decade, Cremona equivalence has been investigated widely, and we now have a complete theory for non-divisorial reduced schemes. The case of irreducible divisors is completely different, and not much is known besides the case of plane curves and a few classes of surfaces. In particular, for plane curves it is a classical result that an irreducible plane curve is Cremona equivalent to a line if and only if its log-Kodaira dimension is negative. This can be interpreted as the log version of Castelnuovo's rationality criterion for surfaces. One expects that a similar result for surfaces in projective space should not be true, as it is false, the generalization in higher dimensions of Castelnuovo's Rationality Theorem. In this paper, the first example of such behavior is provided, exhibiting a rational surface in the projective space with negative log-Kodaira dimension, which is not Cremona equivalent to a plane. This can be thought of as a sort of log Iskovkikh-Manin, Clemens-Griffith, Artin-Mumford example. Using this example, it is then possible to show that Cremona equivalence to a plane is neither open nor closed among log pairs with negative Kodaira dimension.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51071,"journal":{"name":"Journal de Mathematiques Pures et Appliquees","volume":"204 ","pages":"Article 103793"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145104686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach is based on a fine analysis of the Hausdorff density for 2-varifolds with critical integrability of the mean curvature and a recent local regularity result by Bi–Zhou. In codimension one, there are only three possible density values below 2, each of which can be attained with equality in the Li–Yau inequality for the Willmore functional by the unit sphere, the double bubble, and the triple bubble. We show that below an optimal threshold for the Willmore energy, a varifold induced by a current without boundary is in fact a curvature varifold with a uniform bound on its second fundamental form. Consequently, the minimization of the Willmore functional in the class of curvature varifolds with prescribed even Euler characteristic provides smooth solutions for the Willmore problem. In particular, the “ambient” varifold approach and the “parametric” approach are equivalent for minimizing the Willmore energy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51071,"journal":{"name":"Journal de Mathematiques Pures et Appliquees","volume":"204 ","pages":"Article 103797"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145109261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
