Let X be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We prove that if D is a pseudo-effective R-divisor on X which is not numerically equivalent to the negative part in its divisorial Zariski…

This paper was inspired by work by T. Peternell, M. Schneider and A.J. Sommese on the Kodaira dimension of subvarieties. In it I find a relation between the Kodaira-Iitaka dimension of a divisor on a normal variety and that of related…

The numerical dimension is a numerical measure of the positivity of a pseudo-effective divisor $L$. There are several proposed definitions of the numerical dimension due to Nakayama (2004) and Boucksom et al. (2004). We prove the equality…

Let X be a smooth, projective variety over the field of complex numbers. Here we focus on a conjecture attributed to Shigefumi Mori, which claims that X is uniruled if and only if the Kodaira dimension of X is negative.

To seek for the useful numerical analogues to the Iitaka dimension, various numerical Iitaka dimensions have been defined from a number of different perspectives. It has been accepted that all the known numerical Iitaka dimensions coincide…

Modifying the notion of numerically trivial foliation of a pseudo-effective line bundle L introduced by the author in math.AG/0304312 it can be shown that the leaves of this foliation have codimension bigger or equal to the numerical…

Let $(X,D)$ be a log smooth pair of dimension $n$, where $D$ is a reduced effective divisor such that the log canonical divisor $K_X + D$ is pseudo-effective. Let $G$ be a connected algebraic subgroup of $\mathrm{Aut}(X,D)$. We show that…

We express the Kodaira-Iitaka dimension and the multiplicity of graded linear series in terms of the intersection theory of the plurisubharmonic envelope associated with the linear series, and obtain two refined versions of these formulas…

We define the Iitaka dimension of a numerical cycle class and develop its theory. We conjecture that the Iitaka dimension is integer-valued, and give some evidence in this direction. We focus on two cases of geometric interest: Schubert…

Let f: X \to Z be a surjective morphism of smooth complex projective varieties with connected fibers. Suppose that L is a pseudo-effective divisor on X that is f-numerically trivial. We show that there is a divisor D on Z such that L is…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a 4-dimensional log variety which is proper over the field of complex numbers and with only divisorial log terminal singularities. The log canonical divisor $K_X+\Delta$ is semi-ample, if it is nef (numerically…

Given a projective variety X defined over a finite field, the zeta function of divisors attempts to count all irreducible, codimension one subvarieties of X, each measured by their projective degree. When the dimension of X is greater than…

Given an effective Q-divisor D on a smooth complex variety, one can associate to D its multiplier ideal sheaf J(D), which measures in a somewhat subtle way the singularities of D. Because of their strong vanishing properties, these ideals…

In the paper \cite{Lau16}, it was shown that the restriction of a pseudoeffective divisor $D$ to a subvariety $Y$ with nef normal bundle is pseudoeffective. Assuming the normal bundle is ample and that $D|_Y$ is not big, we prove that the…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field and let $Z$ be a subvariety. Let $D$ be an $\mathbb R$-Cartier $\mathbb R$-divisor on $X$. Given an expression $(\ast) \ D \sim_{\mathbb R} t_1 H_1 + \ldots +…

We make a very detailed analysis of the numerical properties of effective divisors whose support is contained in the exceptional locus of a birational morphism of smooth projective surfaces. As an application we extend Miyaoka's inequality…

This paper generalizes the easy addition formula. Given a normal variety $X$ with an invertible sheaf $L$, inequalities are found bounding $\ka(X,L)$ from above based on the behavior of $L$ restricted to a subvariety or to a pair of…

Motivated by the classical Theorems of Picard and Siegel and their generalizations, we define the notion of an {\it essentially large} effective divisor and derive some of its geometric and arithmetic consequences. We then prove that on a…

This paper is an enhancement of the previous note "Explicit computations of Zariski decompositions on P_Z^1". In this paper, we observe several properties of a certain kind of an arithmetic divisor D on the n-dimensional projective space…

Suppose that X is a complex projective variety and L is a pseudo-effective divisor. A numerical reduction map is a quotient of X by all subvarieties along which L is numerically trivial. We construct two variants: the L-trivial reduction…
