Higher dimensional polarized varieties with non-integral nefvalue.
Let be a desingularization of a normal surface . The group Pic is provided with an order relation , defined by . for any effective exceptional divisor . Comparing to the usual order relation we define the ceiling of which is an exceptional divisor. This notion allows us to improve the usual vanishing theorem and we deduce from it a numerical criterion for rationality and a genus formula for a curve on a normal surface; the difficulty lies in the case of a Weil divisor which is not a Cartier...
In this paper we explore several concrete problems, all more or less related to the intersection theory of the moduli space of (stable) curves, introduced by Mumford [Mu 1].
In this article, we complete the interpretation of groups of classes of invariant divisors on a complex toric variety X of dimension n in terms of suitable (co-) homology groups. In [BBFK], we proved the following result (see Satz 1 below): Let and denote the groups of classes of invariant Cartier resp. Weil divisors on X. If X is non degenerate (i.e., not equivariantly isomorphic to the product of a toric variety and a torus of positive dimension), then the natural homomorphisms and are...
It is proved that any isolated singularity of complete intersection has an algebraisation whose divisor class group is finitely generated.
Define a line bundle on a projective variety to be -ample, for a natural number , if tensoring with high powers of kills coherent sheaf cohomology above dimension . Thus 0-ampleness is the usual notion of ampleness. We show that -ampleness of a line bundle on a projective variety in characteristic zero is equivalent to the vanishing of an explicit finite list of cohomology groups. It follows that -ampleness is a Zariski open condition, which is not clear from the definition.
