In this paper we explore the connection between Seshadri constants and the generation of jets. It is well-known that one way to view Seshadri constants is to consider them as measuring the rate of growth of the number of jets that multiples…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$ and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a nef line bundle defined over $k$. We prove that if $x\in X$ is a $k$-rational point then the Seshadri constant $\epsilon(X,…

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…

We prove new results on single point Seshadri constants for ample line bundles on hyperelliptic surfaces. Given a hyperelliptic surface $X$ and an ample line bundle $L$ on $X$, we show that the least Seshadri constant $\varepsilon(L)$ of…

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…

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…

We give a bound for the multiple Seshadri constants on surfaces with Picard number 1. The result is a natural extension of the bound of A. Steffens for simple Seshadri constants. In particular, we prove that the Seshadri constant…

A broadly applicable geometric approach for constructing nef divisors on blow ups of algebraic surfaces at n general points is given; it works for all surfaces in all characteristics for any n. This construction is used to obtain…

We introduce the Seshadri region of a subvariety, a convex region packaging the classical Seshadri constants with respect to every line bundle simultaneously. We develop the theory of Seshadri regions as a measure of positivity along…

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)).

Given a smooth complex projective variety $X$ and an ample line bundle $L$ on $X$. Fix a point $x\in X$. We consider the question, are there conditions which guarantee the maxima of the Seshadri constant of $L$ at $x$, i.e $\eps(L,x)=\root…
