Single point Seshadri constants on rational surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2017-12-18 v2

Abstract

Motivated by a similar result of Dumnicki, K\"uronya, Maclean and Szemberg under a slightly stronger hypothesis, we exhibit irrational single-point Seshadri constants on a rational surface XX obtained by blowing up very general points of PC2\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}, assuming only that all prime divisors on XX of negative self-intersection are smooth rational curves CC with C2=1C^2=-1. (This assumption is a consequence of the SHGH Conjecture, but it is weaker than assuming the full conjecture.)
