Seshadri positive curves in a smooth projective -fold
A notion of positivity, called Seshadri ampleness, is introduced for a smooth curve in a polarized smooth projective -fold , whose motivation stems from some recent results concerning the gonality of space curves and the behaviour of stable bundles on under restriction to . This condition is stronger than the normality of the normal bundle and more general than being defined by a regular section of an ample rank- vector bundle. We then explore some of the properties of Seshadri-ample curves....
