Abstract

The goal of this survey is to present various results concerning the cohomology of pseudoeffective line bundles on compact Kähler manifolds, and related properties of their multiplier ideal sheaves. In case the curvature is strictly positive, the prototype is the well known Nadel vanishing theorem, which is itself a generalized analytic version of the fundamental Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem of algebraic geometry. We are interested here in the case where the curvature is merely semipositive in the sense of currents, and the base manifold is not necessarily projective. In this situation, one can still obtain interesting information on cohomology, e.g. a Hard Lefschetz theorem with pseudoeffective coefficients, in the form of a surjectivity statement for the Lefschetz map. More recently, Junyan Cao, in his PhD thesis defended in Grenoble, obtained a general Kähler vanishing theorem that depends on the concept of numerical dimension of a given pseudoeffective line bundle. The proof of these results depends in a crucial way on a general approximation result for closed (1, 1)-currents, based on the use of Bergman kernels, and the related intersection theory of currents. Another important ingredient is the recent proof by Guan and Zhou of the strong openness conjecture. As an application, we discuss a structure theorem for compact Kähler threefolds without nontrivial subvarieties, following a joint work with F. Campana and M. Verbitsky. We hope that these notes will serve as a useful guide to the more detailed and more technical papers in the literature; in some cases, we provide here substantially simplified proofs and unifying viewpoints.
