q -bic threefolds and their surface of lines
Abstract
Abstract For any power q of the positive ground field characteristic, a smooth q -bic threefold—the Fermat threefold of degree $q+1$ , for example—has a smooth surface S of lines which behaves like the Fano surface of a smooth cubic threefold. I develop projective, moduli-theoretic, and degeneration techniques to study the geometry of S . Using, in addition, the modular representation theory of the finite unitary group and the geometric theory of filtrations, I compute the cohomology of the structure sheaf of S when q is prime.
