On contributions of embedded components to intersection theory, a first approach
We introduce and study the k-jet ampleness and the k-jet spannedness for a vector bundle, E, on a projective manifold. We obtain different characterizations of projective space in terms of such positivity properties for E. We compare the 1-jet ampleness with different notions of very ampleness in the literature.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14C20, 14E25, 14J26.The famous Nagata Conjecture predicts the lowest degree of a plane curve passing with prescribed multiplicities through given points in general position. We explain how this conjecture extends naturally via multiple point Seshadri constants to ample line bundles on arbitrary surfaces. We show that if there exist curves of unpredictable low degree, then they must have equal multiplicities in all but possibly one of the given points. We...
Let Y be a submanifold of dimension y of a polarized complex manifold (X, A) of dimension k ≥ 2, with 1 ≤ y ≤ k−1. We define and study two positivity conditions on Y in (X, A), called Seshadri A-bigness and (a stronger one) Seshadri A-ampleness. In this way we get a natural generalization of the theory initiated by Paoletti in [Paoletti R., Seshadri positive curves in a smooth projective 3-fold, Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei Cl. Sci. Fis. Mat. Natur. Rend. Lincei (9) Mat. Appl., 1996, 6(4), 259–274] (which...
