A Frobenius variant of Seshadri constants

We define and study a version of Seshadri constant for ample line bundles in positive characteristic. We prove that lower bounds for this constant imply the global generation or very ampleness of the corresponding adjoint line bundle. As a consequence, we deduce that the criterion for global generation and very ampleness of adjoint line bundles in terms of usual Seshadri constants holds also in positive characteristic.     

A lower bound on Seshadri constants of hyperplane bundles on threefolds

We give the lower bound on Seshadri constants for the case of very ample line bundles on threefolds. We consider the situation when the Seshadri constant is strictly less than 2 and give a version of Bauer’s theorem (Math Ann 313(3):547–583, 1999, Theorem 2.1) for singular surfaces so we can prove the same result for smooth threefolds.     

Okounkov bodies and Seshadri constants

Okounkov bodies, which are closed convex sets defined for big line bundles, have rich information on the line bundles. On the other hand, Seshadri constants are invariants which measure the positivity of line bundles. In this paper, we prove that Okounkov bodies give lower bounds of Seshadri constants.     

Lower bounds for Seshadri constants

One of Demailly's characterization of Seshadri constants on ample line bundles works with Lelong numbers of certain positive singular hermitian metrics. In this note this is translated into algebraic terms by using sections of multiples of the line bundle. The resulting formula for Seshadri constants is applied to compute Seshadri constants on blown up products of curves, to disprove a conjectured characterization of maximal rationally connected quotients and to introduce a new approach to Nagata's conjecture.

Seshadri constants on rational surfaces with anticanonical pencils

We study a Seshadri constant at a general point on a rational surface whose anticanonical linear system contains a pencil. First, we describe a Seshadri constant of an ample line bundle on such a rational surface explicitly by the numerical data of the ample line bundle. Second, we classify log del Pezzo surfaces which are special in terms of the Seshadri constants of the anticanonical divisors when the anticanonical degree is between 4 and 9.     

Seshadri fibrations of algebraic surfaces

We refine results of [6] and [10] which relate local invariants – Seshadri constants – of ample line bundles on surfaces to the global geometry – fibration structure. We show that the same picture emerges when looking at Seshadri constants measured at any finite subset of the given surface (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Non-annulation effective et positivité locale des fibrés en droites amples adjoints

We show how to use effective non-vanishing to prove that Seshadri constants of some ample divisors are bigger than 1 on smooth threefolds whose anticanonical bundle is nef or on Fano varieties of small coindice. We prove the effective non-vanishing conjecture of Ionescu–Kawamata in dimension 3 in the case of line bundles of “high” volume.     

On positivity of line bundles on Enriques surfaces

We study linear systems on Enriques surfaces. We prove rationality of Seshadri constants of ample line bundles on Enriques surfaces and provide lower bounds on these numbers. We show the nonexistence of -very ample line bundles on Enriques surfaces of degree for , thus answering an old question of Ballico and Sommese.

     

Discrete behavior of Seshadri constants on surfaces

Working over , we show that, apart possibly from a unique limit point, the possible values of multi-point Seshadri constants for general points on smooth projective surfaces form a discrete set. In addition to its theoretical interest, this result is of practical value, which we demonstrate by giving significantly improved explicit lower bounds for Seshadri constants on and new results about ample divisors on blow ups of at general points.     

Seshadri constants and Fano manifolds

In memory of Meeyoung Kim In this paper, we give a lower bound of Seshadri constants on smooth Fano varieties. More precisely, we show that on a smooth Fano manifold of dimension n whose anticanonical system is base point free, Seshadri constants of ample divisors are bounded from below by one over n–2. As a corollary we recover the earlier result on Fano threefolds.

Seshadri constants and the spaces of curves with prescribed singularities and positions

We will give optimal bounds for Seshadri constants of an ample line bundle at multiple points on a complex projective surface X.We also present a solution to the long-studied classical problem on the existence of curves on X with given topological singularities at r arbitrary points p1,...,pr.Namely,we obtain a universal lower bound on the degree of curves for the existence.It is independent of the position of the singular points.     

Some Koszul rings from geometry

We give examples of Koszul rings that arise naturally in algebraic geometry. In the first part, we prove a general result on Koszul property associated to an ample line bundle on a projective variety. Specifically, we show how Koszul property of multiples of a base point free ample line bundle depends on its Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity. In the second part, we give examples of Koszul rings that come from adjoint line bundles on minimal irregular surfaces of general type.     

Linear Systems on Fano Threefolds. I

Abstract

In this note, we classify all the polarized Fano threefold (X, H) with Bs|H|¬ = ?. As corollaries we obtained that (1) the very ample part of the conjecture of Fujita holds for smooth Fano threefolds and (2) global Seshadri constants of ample divisors on Fano threefolds are bounded from below by 1 except three types of polarized Fano threefolds.     

Seshadi constants via functions on Newton–Okounkov bodies

The aim of this note is to establish a somewhat surprising connection between functions on Newton–Okounkov bodies and Seshadri constants of line bundles on algebraic surfaces.     

Seshadri constants and the generation of jets

In this paper we explore the connection between Seshadri constants and the generation of jets. It is well known that one way to view Seshadri constants is to consider them as measuring the rate of growth of the number of jets that multiples of a line bundle generate. Here we ask, conversely, what we can say about the number of jets once the Seshadri constant is known. As an application of our results, we prove a characterization of projective space among all Fano varieties in terms of Seshadri constants.     

On Seshadri Constants of Canonical Bundles of Compact Complex Hyperbolic Spaces

Upper and lower bounds for the Seshadri constants of canonical bundles of compact hyperbolic spaces are given in terms of metric invariants. The lower bound is obtained by carrying out the symplectic blow-up construction for the Poincaré metric, and the upper bound is obtained by a convexity-type argument.     

Seshadri-exceptional foliations

 The maximal Seshadri number μ(L) of an ample line bundle L on a smooth projective variety X measures the local positivity of the line bundle L at a general point of X. By refining the method of Ein-Küchle-Lazarsfeld, lower bounds on μ(L) are obtained in terms of L ⁿ , n=dim(X), for a class of varieties. The main idea is to show that if a certain lower bound is violated, there exists a non-trivial foliation on the variety whose leaves are covered by special curves. In a number of examples, one can show that such foliations must be trivial and obtain lower bounds for μ(L). The examples include the hyperplane line bundle on a smooth surface in ℙ³ and ample line bundles on smooth threefolds of Picard number 1.

Multigraded regularity and the Koszul property

We give a criterion for the section ring of an ample line bundle to be Koszul in terms of multigraded regularity. We discuss applications to adjoint bundles on toric varieties as well as to polytopal semigroup rings.     

Seshadri constants and degrees of defining polynomials

In this paper, we study a relation between Seshadri constants and degrees of defining polynomials. In particular, we compute the Seshadri constants on Fano varieties obtained as complete intersections in rational homogeneous spaces of Picard number one.
