Behavior of rational curves of the minimal degree in projective space bundle in any characteristic (Q5939016)

Here the author generalizes the theory of the adjoint bundles to the positive characteristic case, when the Kodaira vanishing theorem cannot be used. Here is the main result of this paper:NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINETheorem. Let \(X\) be an \(n\)-dimensional smooth projective variety and \(E\) an ample vector bundle on \(X\) such that \(K_X+c_1(E)\) is not nef.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE(1) If \(\text{rank} (E)\geq n\geq 2\), then \(L:=-K_X-c_1(X)\) is ample and each line bundle on \(X\) is numerically equivalent to \(\alpha L\) for some integer \(\alpha\).NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE(2) Assume \(\text{rank} (E)=n-1\geq 3\); then either \(NS(X)\otimes \mathbb{Q} \cong\mathbb{Q}\) and \(X\) is Fano or there is a generically bijective and finite morphism \(f:D\to X\), where \(D\) is a projective variety equipped with a fiber space \(h:D\to C\), \(C\) a projective curve, and for a general \(x\in C\) the variety \(f(h^{-1}(x))\) is a divisor swept out by rational curves.
