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 study the relation between semipositivity, nefness, and bigness of line bundles on compact K\"ahler manifolds. Every nef and big line bundle on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ is positive when ${\rm dim}\,X = 1$. Kim constructed an…

Let $L$ be a nef and big line bundle on a scheme $X$. It is well known that if $X$ is a projective over a field then the augmented base locus and the exceptional base locus agree. This result is extended to projective schemes over arbitrary…

We study the complex-analytic geometry of semi-positive holomorphic line bundles on compact K\"ahler manifolds. In one of our main results, for a $\mathbb{Q}$-effective line bundle satisfying a natural torsion-type assumption, we show the…

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…

Let $f : (X, \Delta) \to Y$ be a flat, projective family of sharply $F$-pure, log-canonically polarized pairs over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p >0$ such that $p \nmid \ind(K_{X/Y} + \Delta)$. We show that $K_{X/Y} +…

We develop new characteristic-independent combinatorial criteria for semiampleness of divisors on $\overline{M}_{0,n}$. As an application, we associate to a cyclic rational quadratic form satisfying a certain balancedness condition an…

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…

In this paper, we study when positivity conditions of vector bundles are preserved by extension. We prove that an extension of a big (resp. pseudo-effective) line bundle by an ample (resp. a nef) vector bundle is big (resp.…

We give the first examples of nef line bundles on smooth projective varieties over finite fields which are not semi-ample. More concretely, we find smooth curves on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields such that the normal bundle…

A line bundle with a base-point-free multiple is called semiample. I give a cohomological characterization of semiample line bundles. The result is a common generalization of the Fujita-Zariski criterion for semiampleness and the…

Let $L$ be a line bundle on a scheme $X$, proper over a field. The property of $L$ being nef can sometimes be "thickened", allowing reductions to positive characteristic. We call such line bundles arithmetically nef. It is known that a line…

Given an invertible sheaf on a fibre space between projective varieties of positive characteristic, we show that fibrewise semi-ampleness implies relative semi-ampleness. The same statement fails in characteristic zero.

Given a covering f: X \to Y of projective manifolds, we consider the vector bundle E on Y given as the dual of f_*(\O_X) / \O_Y. This vector bundles often has positivity properties, e.g. E is ample when Y is projective space by a theorem of…

Let $X$ be a complex manifold and $L$ be a holomorphic line bundle on $X$. Assume that $L$ is semi-positive, namely $L$ admits a smooth Hermitian metric with semi-positive Chern curvature. Let $Y$ be a compact K\"ahler submanifold of $X$…

I give a necessary and sufficient condition for a nef and big line bundle in positive characteristic to be semi-ample, and then give two applications: I show that the relative dualizing sheaf of the universal curve is semi-ample, in…

According to Miyaoka, a vector bundle E on a smooth projective curve is semistable if and only if a certain numerical class in the projectivized bundle PE is nef. We establish a similar criterion for the semistability of Higgs bundles:…

We show that an equivariant vector bundle on a complete toric variety is nef or ample if and only if its restriction to every invariant curve is nef or ample, respectively. Furthermore, we show that nef toric vector bundles have a…

In this short note we will show that every homogeneous strictly nef vector bundle on a complex flag variety is ample. Following this, we consider whether ampleness of a bundle on an abelian variety can be tested on curves.

If a characteristic class for two vector bundles over the same base space does not coincide, then the bundles are not isomorphic. We give under rather common assumptions a lower bound on the topological dimension of the set of all points in…
