Title

Ordinary varieties with trivial canonical bundle are not uniruled

Abstract

It is a peculiar property of characteristic p>0 geometry that smooth varieties of non-negative Kodaira dimension could be uniruled. It has been widely believed that such behaviour could actually be mitigated by making appropriate cohomological assumptions. In the talk I will confirm this expectation in the case of varieties with trivial canonical class generalizing to arbitrary dimension the easier implication of Artin-Shioda conjecture describing the K3 surfaces story. The presentation will be based on the joint work with Zsolt Patakfalvi (EPFL)
