Cohomological support loci and Pluricanonical systems on irregular varieties

Abstract: For an irregular variety

X

of general type, we show that if a general fiber

F

of the Albanese morphism of

X

satisfies certain Hodge theoretic condition, the

0

-th cohomological support loci of

K_{X}

generates the Picard variety of

X

. We then show that the condition that the

0

-th cohomological support loci of

K_{X}

generates the Picard variety of

X

can often be applied to prove the birationality of certain pluricanonical maps of

X

.
