Abstract

In this paper, we study the Albanese morphisms in positive characteristic. We prove that the Albanese morphism of a variety with nef anti-canonical divisor is an algebraic fiber space, under the assumption that the general fiber is F-pure. Furthermore, we consider a notion of F-splitting for morphisms, and investigate it in the case of Albanese morphisms. We show that an F-split variety has F-split Albanese morphism, and that the F-split Albanese morphism is an algebraic fiber space. As an application, we provide a new characterization of abelian varieties.
