Any ample Cartier divisor D on a projective variety X is strictly nef (i.e. D.C>0 for any effective curve C on X). In general, the converse statement does not hold. But this is conjectured to be true for anticanonical divisors. The present…

We describe the effective and the big cones of a projective symmetric variety. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient combinatorial criterion for the bigness of a nef divisor on a projective symmetric variety. When the variety is…

In this paper, we prove the ampleness conjecture and Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on K-trivial fourfolds. Specifically, we show that any strictly nef divisors on projective fourfolds with trivial canonical bundle and…

Here we investigate the property of effectivity for adjoint divisors. Among others, we prove the following results: (i) A normal projective variety $X$ with at most canonical singularities is uniruled if and only if for each very ample…

Serrrano's Conjecture says that if $L$ is a strictly nef line bundle on a smooth projective variety $X$, then $K_X+tL$ is ample for $ t > dim X+1$. In this paper I will prove a few cases of this conjecture. I will also prove a generalized…

In this paper, we give a numerical characterization of nef arithmetic R-Cartier divisors of C^0-type on an arithmetic surface. Namely an arithmetic R-Cartier divisor D of C^0-type is nef if and only if D is pseudo-effective and deg(D^2) =…

We prove a structure theorem for projective varieties with nef anticanonical divisors.

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…

In this paper we investigate the geometry of projective varieties polarised by ample and more generally nef and big Weil divisors. First we study birational boundedness of linear systems. We show that if $X$ is a projective variety of…

We prove that any nef b-divisor class on a projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 is a decreasing limit of nef Cartier classes. Building on this technical result, we construct an intersection…

A characterization of nef and good divisors is given: a divisor D on a smooth complex projective variety is nef and good if and only if the asymptotic multiplier ideals of sufficiently high multiples of e(D) D$ are trivial, where e(D)…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety with a nef anticanonical divisor over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, we establish a precise structure of $X$ under the condition that $a_X: X \to {\rm Alb}(X)$ is…

In this article, we investigate Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on projective bundles over higher dimensional smooth projective varieties.

Let $X'$ be a complex projective manifold, $\dim X'>1$, $Z$ a connected analytic subset of codimension one which is the support of a nef effective Cartier divisor $D$ on $X'$, $X:=X'\setminus Z$. Let $\kappa(D)$ be the Iitaka dimension of…

We prove that the direct image of an anti-ample vector bundle is anti-ample under any finite flat morphism of non-singular projective varieties. In the second part we prove some properties of big and nef vector bundles. In particular it is…

In the first part of this note, we discuss the compact K\"ahler manifold with a strongly pseudo-effective tangent bundle. In the second part, we give new proof of the fact that the only projective manifolds with the big tangent bundle are…

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…

We show that the tangent bundle of a projective manifold with nef anticanonical class is generically nef. That is, its restriction to a curve cut out by general sufficiently ample divisors is a nef vector bundle. This confirms a conjecture…

In this paper, we investigate the explicit birational geometry for projective $\epsilon$-lc varieties polarised by nef and big Weil divisors. We show that if $X$ is a projective $\epsilon$-lc variety, $H$ is a nef and big Weil divisor with…

We show that nef cycle classes on smooth complete spherical varieties are effective, and the products of nef cycle classes are also nef. Let X be a smooth projective spherical variety such that its effective cycle classes of codimension k…
