Cyclic coverings and Seshadri constants on smooth surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We study the Seshadri constants of cyclic coverings of smooth surfaces. The existence of an automorphism on these surfaces can be used to produce Seshadri exceptional curves. We give a bound for multiple Seshadri constants on cyclic coverings of surfaces with Picard number 1. Morevoer, we apply this method to nn-cyclic coverings of the projective plane. When 2n92\leq n\leq 9, explicit values are obtained. We relate this problem with the Nagata conjecture.
