On the fixed part of pluricanonical systems for surfaces

We show that $|m{K}_X|$ defines a birational map and has no fixed part for some bounded positive integer m for any $\frac{1}{2}$-lc surface X such that $K_X$ is big and nef. For every positive integer $n\ge 3$, we construct a sequence of projective surfaces $X_{n,i}$, such that $K_{X_{n,i}}$ is ample, $\mathrm{mld}(X_{n,i})>\frac{1}{n}$ for every i, ${\lim }_{i\to +\infty }\mathrm{mld}(X_{n,i})=\frac{1}{n}$, and for any positive integer m, there exists i such that $|m{K}_{X_{n,i}}|$ has nonzero fixed part. These results answer the surface case of a question of Xu.
