Linear systems on irregular varieties

Abstract: Let X be a normal complex projective variety, TsubseteqX a subvariety, acolonXightarrowA a morphism to an abelian variety such that mPic0(A) injects into mPic0(T) and let L be a line bundle on X. Denote by X(d)oX the connected 'etale cover induced by the d-th multiplication map of A, by T(d)subseteqX(d) the preimage of T and by L(d) the pull-back of L to X(d). For alphainmPic0(A) general, we study the restricted linear system |L(d)otimesaalpha||T(d): if for some d this gives a generically finite map varphi(d), we show that f varphi(d) is independent of alpha or d sufficiently large and divisible, and is induced by the {em eventual map} varphicolonToZ such that a|T factorizes through varphi. The generic value ha0(X|T,L) of h0(X|T,Lotimesalpha) is called the {em (restricted) continuous rank.} We prove that if M is the pull back of an ample divisor of A, then xmapstoha0(X|T,L+xM) extends to a continuous function of xinmathbbR, which is differentiable except possibly at countably many points; when X=T we compute the left derivative explicitly. In the case when X and T are smooth, combining the above results we prove Clifford-Severi type inequalities, i.e., geographical bounds of the form m{vol}_{X|T}(L)geq C(m) h^0_a(X_{|T},L), where C(m)=mathcalO(m!).
