Let $X$ be a smooth variety and let $L$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. If $\pi^{alg}_{1}(X)$ is large, we show that the Seshadri constant $\epsilon(p^{*}L)$ can be made arbitrarily large by passing to a finite \'etale cover…

Working over the complex field and formalizing and sharpening approaches introduced by several authors, we give a method for verifying when a divisor on a blow up of P^2 at general points is nef. The method is useful both theoretically and…

For any number field k, upper bounds are established for the number of k-rational points of bounded height on non-singular del Pezzo surfaces defined over k, which are equipped with suitable conic bundle structures over k.

We consider flags $E_\bullet=\{X\supset E\supset \{q\}\}$, where $E$ is an exceptional divisor defining a non-positive at infinity divisorial valuation $\nu_E$ of a Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_\delta$ and $X$ the surface given by…

Given a nef and big line bundle $L$ on a projective variety $X$ of dimension $d \geq 2$, we prove that the Seshadri constant of $L$ at a very general point is larger than $(d+1)^{\frac{1}{d}-1}$. This slightly improves the lower bound $1/d$…

We show that the set of Fano varieties (with arbitrary singularities) whose anticanonical divisors have large Seshadri constants satisfies certain weak and birational boundedness. We also classify singular Fano varieties of dimension $n$…

In this paper, we study the property of bigness of the tangent bundle of a smooth projective rational surface with nef anticanonical divisor. We first show that the tangent bundle $T_S$ of $S$ is not big if $S$ is a rational elliptic…

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…

We initiate a combinatorial study of Newton-Okounkov functions on toric varieties with an eye on the rationality of asymptotic invariants of line bundles. In the course of our efforts we identify a combinatorial condition which ensures a…

For a positive integer $n$, let $X_n \to X_{n-1} \to \ldots \to X_2 \to X_1 \to X_0$ be a Bott tower of height $n$, and let $L$ be a nef line bundle on $X_n$. We compute Seshadri constants $\varepsilon(X_n,L,x)$ of $L$ at any point $x \in…

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…

Seshadri constants express the so called local positivity of a line bundle on a projective variety. They were introduced by Demailly. The original idea of using them towards a proof of the Fujita conjecture failed but they quickly became a…

Let $X$ be a del Pezzo surface. When the degree of $X$ is at least 4, we compute the cohomology of a general sheaf in the moduli space of Gieseker semistable sheaves. We also classify the Chern characters for which the general sheaf in the…

For sufficiently ample linear systems on rational surfaces we show that a very general associated Brauer-Severi surface bundle is not stably rational.

ACM rank 1 bundles on del Pezzo surfaces are classified in terms of the rational normal curves that they contain. A complete list of ACM line bundles is provided. Moreover, for any del Pezzo surface $X$ of degree less or equal than six and…

Based on the theory of an infinitesimal Newton-Okounkov body, we extend the results of Lazarsfeld-Pareschi-Popa on abelian surfaces. Moreover, we show that the higher syzygies of $(X,L)$ are completely determined by its Seshadri constant…

We define Seshadri constants for Higgs bundles on smooth projective varieties over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. This definition is inspired by and analogous to the notion of Seshadri constants for ordinary vector…

The surfaces considered are real, rational and have a unique smooth real $(-2)$-curve. Their canonical class $K$ is strictly negative on any other irreducible curve in the surface and $K^2>0$. For surfaces satisfying these assumptions, we…

Let $X$ be a complex projective variety, and let $E_{\ast}$ be a parabolic vector bundle on $X$. We introduce the notion of \textit{parabolic Seshadri constants} of $E_{\ast}$. It is shown that these constants are analogous to the classical…

Let X be a projective variety of dimension n and L be a nef divisor on X. Denote by e_d(r;X,L) the d-dimensional Seshadri constant of r very general points in X. We prove that e_d(rs;X,L) >= e_d(r;X,L)e_d(s;P^n,O_{P^n}(1)).
