We prove that for every positive integer $m\geq 18(2^{9}\cdot 3^{7})!$ and every smooth projective 3-fold of general type X defined over complex numbers, $\mid mK_{X}\mid$ gives a birational rational map from X into a projective space.

This is a sequal paper to math.AG/9909021. By using the theory of AZD originated by the author, I prove that for every smooth projective $n$-fold $X$ of general type and every \[ m\geq \lceil\sum_{\ell =1}^{n}\sqrt[\ell]{2} \ell\rceil +1,…

We show that $|mK_X|$ defines a birational map and has no fixed part for some bounded positive integer $m$ for any $\frac{1}{2}$-lc surface $X$ such that $K_X$ is big and nef. For every positive integer $n\geq 3$, we construct a sequence of…

We present a new proof of a theorem of Chen and Jiang: for any integer $n>1$, there is a constant $K_n>0$ such that every smooth projective $n$-fold $X$ with $\operatorname{vol}(X)>K_n$ has either the stable birational $2$-canonical map or…

We classify smooth complex projective varieties $X \subset \proj^N$ of dimension $2s+1$ containing a linear subspace $\Lambda$ of dimension $s$ whose normal bundle $N_{\Lambda/X}$ is numerically effective.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective $n$-fold such that $q(X)=0$ and $L$ a globally generated, big line bundle on $X$ such that $h^0(K_X+(n-2)L) >0$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the adjoint systems $|K_X+kL|$ to be birational…

We prove that for a smooth projective irregular $3$-fold $X$ with $K_X\equiv 0$ and a nef and big divisor $L$ on $X$, $|mL+P|$ gives a birational map for all $m\geq 3$ and all $P\in \text{Pic}^0(X)$. We also use the same method to deal with…

The number of apparent double points of a smooth, irreducible projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ in $\Proj^{2n+1}$ is the number of secant lines to $X$ passing through the general point of $\Proj^{2n+1}$. This classical notion dates…

Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth curve over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $X$ be a scheme, which is smooth and projective over $K$. Suppose that the cotangent bundle $\Omega_{X/K}$ is ample. Let $R:={\rm Zar}(X)(K)\cap X)$…
