We shall prove an extension of the semipositivity theorem for the case of reducible algebraic fiber spaces.

A necessary and sufficient condition is given for semi-ampleness of a numerically effective (nef) and big line bundle in positive characteristic. One application is to the geometry of the universal stable curve over M_g, specifically, the…

We show that a nef line bundle on a proper scheme over an excellent base is semiample if and only if it is semiample after restricting to characteristic zero and to positive characteristic. In the process of the proof, we provide a…

Let (L, h) be a pair of a semiample invertible sheaf and a semipositive continuous hermitian metric on a proper algebraic variety. In this paper, we prove that (L, h) is semiample metrized, which is a generalization of the question due to…

We give conditions for $f$-positivity of relative complete intersections in projective bundles. We also derive an instability result for the fibres.

We prove a microlocal characterisation of character sheaves on a reductive Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of sufficiently large positive characteristic: a perverse irreducible G-equivariant sheaf is a character sheaf if and…

In this article, we prove an extension property of semipositively metrized ample invertible sheaves on a projective scheme over a complete non-archimedean valued field. As an application, we establish a Nakai-Moishezon type criterion for…

We prove that the weak Hilbert property ascends along a morphism of varieties over an arbitrary field of characteristic zero, under suitable assumptions.

Let $X$ be a scheme, proper over a commutative noetherian ring $A$. We introduce the concept of an ample filter of invertible sheaves on $X$ and generalize the most important equivalent criteria for ampleness of an invertible sheaf. We also…

The biduality and reflexivity theorems are known to hold for projective varieties defined over fields of characteristic zero, and to fail in positive characteristic. In this article, we construct a notion of reflexivity and biduality in…

Recently, the singular support and the characteristic cycle of an \'etale sheaf on a smooth variety over a perfect field are constructed by Beilinson and Saito, respectively. In this article, we extend the singular support to a relative…

We survey results concerning behavior of positivity of line bundles and possible vanishing theorems in positive characteristic. We also try to describe variation of positivity in mixed characteristic. These problems are very much related to…

Let f:S ->B be a relatively minimal fibred surface. In this note we give a partial affirmative answer to a conjecture of Xiao, proving that the direct image of the relative dualizing sheaf of $f$ is ample when the slope of the fibration is…

We present a non-standard proof of the fact that the existence of a local (i.e. restricted to a point) characteristic-zero, semi-parametric lifting for a variety defined by the zero locus of polynomial equations over the integers is…

In this paper, we extend the structure theorem for smooth projective varieties with nef tangent bundle to projective klt varieties whose tangent sheaf is either positively curved or almost nef. Specifically, we show that such a variety $X$,…

We show various properties of smooth projective D-affine varieties. In particular, any smooth projective D-affine variety is algebraically simply connected and its image under a fibration is D-affine. In characteristic zero such D-affine…

Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a projective klt three dimensional pair defined over an algebraically closed field characteristic larger than 5. Let $L$ be a nef and big line bundle on $X$ such that $L-K_X-\Delta$ is big and nef. We show that $L$ is…

We prove that the Hilbert scheme of the plane in positive characteristic admits an invertible top differential form. This implies certain integrability properties of the symmetric powers of the plane. This allows to define a function on the…

Define a line bundle L on a projective variety to be q-ample, for a natural number q, if tensoring with high powers of L kills coherent sheaf cohomology above dimension q. Thus 0-ampleness is the usual notion of ampleness. Intuitively, a…
