Characterization of projective spaces by Seshadri constants

Algebraic Geometry 2018-10-17 v3

Abstract

We prove that an nn-dimensional complex projective variety is isomorphic to Pn\mathbb{P}^n if the Seshadri constant of the anti-canonical divisor at some smooth point is greater than nn. We also classify complex projective varieties with Seshadri constants equal to nn.
