Effective behavior of multiple linear systems

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We give optimal effective bounds for some well-known theorems on complex algebraic surfaces, which are respectively due to Serre, Zariski (1962), Castelnuovo (1897), Artin (1962, 1966), Benveniste (1984), Cutkosky and Srinivas (1993). These theorems are about Riemann-Roch problem (on the behavior of the function dim |nD| of n), vanishing theorems, base-point freeness and k-very ampleness of the linear systems |nD| and |nA+L|, where D is effective, A is nef and big and L is arbitrary. As a consequence, we obtain an effective version of Matsusaka's big theorem, and we give also examples to show that our bound is the best possible one.


Let \(X\) be a smooth projective complex manifold. Then it is a fundamental problem to understand the behavior of a multiple linear system, and this problem has been studied by many authors. The purpose of this paper is to give effective versions of some well-known theorems on multiple linear systems for \(\dim X=2\). The main result of this paper is the following: Let \(A\) be a nef and big divisor on a smooth projective complex surface \(X\), let \(T\) be any fixed divisor, and let \(k\) be a nonnegative integer. Assume that either \(n>k+\mathcal{M}(A,T)\), or \(n\geq \mathcal{M}(A,T)\) when \(k=0\) and \(T\sim K_{X}+\lambda A\) for some rational number \(\lambda\), where \(\mathcal{M}(A,T):=((K_{X}-T)A+2)^{2}/4A^{2}-(K_{X}-T)^{2}/4\). Suppose that there exists a zero dimensional subscheme \(\Delta\) on \(X\) with minimal degree \(\deg\Delta \leq k\) such that it does not give independent conditions on \(| nA+T| \). Then there is an effective divisor \(D\not=0\) containing \(\Delta\) such that \(TD-D^{2}-K_{X}D\leq k\) and \(DA=0\). By direct applications of the above result for various \(T\), we obtain the effective version of known theorems.
