The purpose of this paper is to study Seshadri constants on the self-product $E\times E$ of an elliptic curve $E$. We provide explicit formulas for computing the Seshadri constants of all ample line bundles on the surfaces considered. As an…

In this paper we develop techniques for determining the dimension of linear systems of divisors based at a collection of general fat points in P^n by partitioning the monomial basis for the vector space of global sections of O(d). The…

In analogy to the relation between symplectic packings and symplectic blow ups we show that multiple point Seshadri constants on projective complex surfaces can be calculated as the supremum of radii of multiple K\"ahler ball embeddings.

We refine results of Hwang, Keum and Szemberg, Tutaj-Gasinska which relate local invariants - Seshadri constants - of ample line bundles on surfaces to the global geometry - fibration structure. We show that the same picture emerges when…

The bad locus and the rude locus of an ample and base point free linear system on a smooth complex projective variety are introduced and studied. The bad locus is defined as the set of points that force divisors through them to be…

We introduce higher-order variants of the Frobenius-Seshadri constant due to Musta\c{t}\u{a} and Schwede, which are defined for ample line bundles in positive characteristic. These constants are used to show that Demailly's criterion for…

Let $X^n_{r,s}$ denote the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n$ along $r$ general lines and $s$ general points. In this paper, we focus on $l$-very ample line bundles on $X^n_{0,s}$ and investigate their Seshadri constants with some restrictions on…

We define and study a version of Seshadri constant for ample line bundles in positive characteristic. We prove that lower bounds for this constant imply the global generation or very ampleness of the corresponding adjoint line bundle. As a…

Let M be a meromorphic connection with poles along a smooth divisor D in a smooth algebraic variety. Let Sol M be the solution complex of M. We prove that the good formal decomposition locus of M coincides with the locus where the…

In this note we address the following kind of question: let X be a smooth, irreducible, projective surface and D a divisor on X$satisfying some sort of positivity hypothesis, then is there some multiple of D depending only on X which is…

For any non-negative integer $k$ the $k$-th osculating dimension at a given point $x$ of a variety $X$ embedded in projective space gives a measure of the local positivity of order $k$ at that point. In this paper we show that a smooth…

Consider a polarized abelian variety $(A,L)$ over the field of complex numbers. Following Demailly, one can associate to $(A,L)$ a real number $\epsilon(A,L)$, its {\em Seshadri constant}, which in effect measures how much of the positivity…

Let $\pi: X_r \rightarrow \mathbb P^2$ be a blow up of $\mathbb P^2$ at $r$ distinct points $p_1,p_2,\dots, p_r$. We study lower bounds for Seshadri constants of ample line bundles on $X_r$. First, we consider the case when the points lie…

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…

The critical loci of a map $f:X\to Y$ between smooth schemes over a field $k$ are the locally closed subschemes $\Sigma^i(f)\subseteq X$ where the differential of $f$ has constant rank. We prove that if $f : X\to \mathbb A^r$ is the general…

It is known that if X is uniformly distributed modulo 1 and Y is an arbitrary random variable independent of X then Y+X is also uniformly distributed modulo 1. We prove a converse for any continuous random variable Y (or a reasonable…

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…

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 cone of effective divisors on any moduli space of semistable sheaves on the plane. The computation hinges on finding a good resolution of a general stable sheaf. This resolution is determined by Bridgeland stability and…

We introduce augmented and restricted base loci of cycles and we study the positivity properties naturally defined by these base loci.
