In the present sequel to our previous two papers on regularity on abelian varieties, we give a number of new applications of the theory of $M$-regularity to the study of Seshadri constants, Picard bundles, pluricanonical maps on irregular…

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…

In this paper we will propose a new method to investigate Seshadri constants, namely by means of (nested) Hilbert schemes. This will allow us to use the geometry of the latter spaces, for example the computations of the nef cone via…

Let $X = \mathbb{P}(E_1) \times_C \mathbb{P}(E_2)$ where $C$ is a smooth curve and let $E_1$, $E_2$ be vector bundles over $C$. In this paper, we extend the results in \cite{K-M-R} by computing the nef cone of $X$ without restriction on the…

We compute in this note the Seshadri constants of the anticanonical bundle at every point of Del Pezzo surfaces. During the proof, we enlight the role of rational curves in our computations. We present then two exemples where the positivity…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective complex variety of maximal Albanese dimension, and let $L \to X$ be a big line bundle. We prove that the moving Seshadri constants of the pull-backs of $L$ to suitable finite abelian \'etale covers of $X$ are…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle of rank $n$ on $\mathbb{P}^1$. Fix a positive integer $d$. Let $\mathcal{Q}(E,d)$ denote the Quot scheme of torsion quotients of $E$ of degree $d$ and let $Gr(E,d)$ denote the Grassmann bundle that parametrizes…

We give a method to estimate Seshadri constants on toric varieties at any point. By using the estimations and toric degenerations, we can obtain some new computations or estimations of Seshadri constants on non-toric varieties. In…

The complete set of bounds for the technical constants of an elastic layer, plate or laminate is given. The bounds are valid in general, also for completely anisotropic bodies. They are obtained transforming the polar bounds previously…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve, and let $E$ be a vector bundle on $X$ which is not semistable. For a suitably chosen integer $r$, let $\text{Gr}(E)$ be the Grassmann bundle over $X$ that parametrizes the quotients of the…

In this paper, we study a relation between Seshadri constants and degrees of defining polynomials. In particular, we compute the Seshadri constants on Fano varieties obtained as complete intersections in rational homogeneous spaces of…

We compute the exact values of the Jordan constants of abelian surfaces over finite fields.

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…

We prove that classes of rational curves on very general Enriques surfaces are always $2$-divisible. As a consequence, we prove that the Seshadri constant of any big and nef line bundle on a very general Enriques surface coincides with the…

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 $1/d$…

This paper investigates the rigidity of bordered polyhedral surfaces. Using the variational principle, we show that bordered polyhedral surfaces are determined by boundary value and discrete curvatures on the interior edges. As a corollary,…

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…

The Bounded Negativity Conjecture predicts that for any smooth complex surface $X$ there exists a lower bound for the selfintersection of reduced divisors on $X$. This conjecture is open. It is also not known if the existence of such a…

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,…

The purpose of this note is to point out an elementary but somewhat surprising connection between the work of Buser and Sarnak on lengths of periods of abelian varieties and the Seshadri constants measuring the local positivity of theta…
