Effective freeness of adjoint line bundles (Q1597791)

Let \(X\) be a smooth projective variety of dimension \(n\) defined over the complex number field, and let \(L\) be an ample line bundle on \(X\). In this paper, the author mainly investigates the following conjecture, which is called the Fujita conjecture: Let \(X\), \(n\) and \(L\) be as above. Then \(K_{X}+mL\) is base point free for any integer \(m\geq n+1\). If \(\dim X=1\), then this is verified by means of the Riemann-Roch theorem. If \(\dim X=2\), then \textit{I. Reider} [Ann. of Math. 127 (2), 309-316 (1988; Zbl 0663.14010)] proved that the above conjecture is true. If \(\dim X=3\) (resp. \(\dim X=4\)), then this was proved by \textit{L. Ein} and \textit{R. Lazarsfeld} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 6 (4), 875-903 (1993; Zbl 0803.14004)] (resp. by \textit{Y. Kawamata} [Math. Ann. 308 (3), 491-505 (1997; Zbl 0909.14001)]). In arbitrary dimension \(n\), several authors investigated this conjecture. (For example \textit{U. Angehrn} and \textit{Y.-T. Siu} [Invent. Math. 122 (2), 291-308 (1995; Zbl 0847.32035)], \textit{S. Helmke} [Duke Math. J. 88 (2), 201-216 (1997; Zbl 0876.14004)], [Math. Ann. 313 (4), 635-652 (1999; Zbl 0935.14003)], and \textit{H. Tsuji} [Nagoya Math. J. 142, 5-16 (1996; Zbl 0861.32018 )].) In particular it was proved that \(K_{X}+mL\) is base point free for any integer \(m\) that is no less than a number roughly of order \(n^{2}\). In this paper the author improves the bound and proves the following: \(K_{X}+mL\) is base point free for any integer \(m\) with \(m\geq (e+1/2)n^{4/3}+(1/2)n^{2/3}+1\), where \(e\) is Euler's number.
