Working over C, we show that, apart possibly from a unique limit point, the possible values of multi-point Seshadri constant for general points on smooth projective surfaces form a discrete set. In addition to its theoretical interest, this…

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…

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…

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…

Let $X$ be a complex nonsingular projective surface and let $L$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. We study multi-point Seshadri constants of $L$ at singular points of certain arrangements of curves on $X$. We pose some questions about such…

Seshadri constants are local invariants, introduced by Demailly, which measure the local positivity of ample line bundles. Recent interest in Seshadri constants stems on the one hand from the fact that bounds on Seshadri constants yield,…

We study the Seshadri constants on geometrically ruled surfaces. The unstable case is completely solved. Moreover, we give some bounds for the stable case. We apply these results to compute the Seshadri constant of the rational and elliptic…

Starting with the pioneering work of Ein and Lazarsfeld restrictions on values of Seshadri constants on algebraic surfaces have been studied by many authors. In the present note we show how approximation involving continued fractions…

Let $X$ be a surface and let $L$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. We first obtain a lower bound for the Seshadri constant $\varepsilon(X,L,r)$, when $r \ge 3$. We then assume that $X$ is a ruled surface and study Seshadri constants on $X$ in…

We give a method to estimate Seshadri constants on toric varieties at any point. By using the estimations and toric degenerations, we can obtain some new computations or estimations of Seshadri constants on non-toric varieties. In…

In this note we improve a result of Steffens on the lower bound for Seshadri constants in very general points of a surface with one-dimensional N\'eron-Severi space. We also show a multi-point counterpart of such a lower bound.

So far, Seshadri constants on abelian surfaces are completely understood only in the cases of Picard number one and on principally polarized abelian surfaces with real multiplication. Beyond that, there are partial results for products of…

In "Seshadri fibrations of algebraic surfaces" [arXiv:0709.2592v1] we showed that if the multiple point Seshadri constants of an ample line bundle on a smooth projective surface in very general points satisfy certain inequality then the…

We examine how the Seshadri constant of an ample line bundle at a very general point of an algebraic surface can carry important global geometric information about the surface. In particular, we obtain a numerical criterion for when a…

In this note we contribute to the study of Seshadri constants on abelian and bielliptic surfaces. We specifically focus on bounds that hold on all such surfaces, depending only on the self-intersection of the ample line bundle under…

A broadly applicable geometric approach for constructing nef divisors on blow ups of algebraic surfaces at n general points is given; it works for all surfaces in all characteristics for any n. This construction is used to obtain…

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 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 develop a new approach towards obtaining lower bounds of the Seshadri constants of ample adjoint divisors on smooth projective varieties $X$ in arbitrary characteristic. Let $x\in X$ be a closed point and $A$ an ample divisor on $X$. If…
