We prove that a Fano variety (with arbitrary singularities) of dimension $n$ in positive characteristic is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^n$ if the Seshadri constant of the anti-canonical divisor at some smooth point is greater than $n$ and…

We study families of curves covering a projective surface and give lower bounds on the self-intersection of the members of such families, improving results of Ein-Lazarsfeld and Xu. We apply the obtained inequalities to get new insights on…

Seshadri constants on abelian surfaces are fully understood in the case of Picard number one. Little is known so far for simple abelian surfaces of higher Picard number. In this paper we investigate principally polarized abelian surfaces…

In this note, we continue the study of Seshadri constants on blow-ups of Hirzebruch surfaces initiated in arXiv:2312.14555. Now we consider blow-ups of ruled surfaces more generally. We propose a conjecture for classifying all the negative…

We consider the problem of bounding large deviations for non-i.i.d. random variables that are allowed to have arbitrary dependencies. Previous works typically assumed a specific dependence structure, namely the existence of independent…

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…

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…

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…

We study the following question: Given a vector bundle on a projective variety $X$ such that the restriction of $E$ to every closed curve $C \,\subset\, X$ is ample, under what conditions $E$ is ample? We first consider the case of an…

We give an asymptotic formula for the number of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-rational points over a fixed determinant moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank $r$ and degree $d$ over a smooth, projective curve $X$ of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over…

T. Szemberg proposed in 2001 a generalization to arbitrary varieties of M. Nagata's 1959 open conjecture, which claims that the Seshadri constant of r>9 very general points of the projective plane is maximal. Here we prove that Nagata's…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface with Picard number 1. Let $L$ be the ample generator of the N\'eron-Severi group of $X$. Given an integer $r\ge 2$, we prove lower bounds for the Seshadri constant of $L$ at $r$ general points in $X$.

In characteristic zero, semistable principal bundles on a nonsingular projective curve with a semisimple structure group form a bounded family, as shown by Ramanathan in 1970's using the Narasimhan-Seshadri theorem. This was the first step…

In this article we study the behaviour of semistable principal $G$-bundles over a smooth projective variety $X$ under the extension of structure groups in positive characteristic. We extend some results of Ramanan-Ramanathan…

In this paper, we investigate the Seshadri constant $\varepsilon(X,T_X;p)$ of the tangent sheaf $T_X$ on a complete $\mathbb Q$-factorial toric variety $X$. We show that $\varepsilon(X,T_X;1)>0$ if and only if the following statement holds…

Using Dumnicki's approach to showing non-specialty of linear systems consisting of plane curves with prescribed multiplicities in sufficiently general points on $\mathbb{P}^2$ we develop an asymptotic method to determine lower bounds for…

Let $X$ be a projective surface and let $L$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. The global Seshadri constant $\varepsilon(L)$ of $L$ is defined as the infimum of Seshadri constants $\varepsilon(L,x)$ as $x\in X$ varies. It is an interesting…

Motivated by a similar result of Dumnicki, K\"uronya, Maclean and Szemberg under a slightly stronger hypothesis, we exhibit irrational single-point Seshadri constants on a rational surface $X$ obtained by blowing up very general points of…

In this paper, we give a partial affirmative answer to the BAB conjecture for $3$-folds in characteristic $p>5$. Specifically, we prove that a set $\mathcal{D}$ of weak Fano $3$-folds over an uncountable algebraically closed field is…

Let $X$ be an irreducible projective variety of dimension $n$ in a projective space and let $x$ be a point of $X$. Denote by ${\rm Curves}_d(X,x)$ the space of curves of degree $d$ lying on $X$ and passing through $x$. We will show that the…
