Apr 22, 2011 at 22:56 comment added Sándor Kovács @Martin: The pull back of an ample divisor via a finite map is ample. This is an exercise in Hartshorne and can be proved using pretty much any characterization of ampleness. As for the degree: $f$ is unramified, so the degree is equal to the number of preimages of any (closed) point. This remains the same for any subvariety.
Apr 22, 2011 at 20:11 comment added Martin Brandenburg How can we show that $f^* H$ is ample? And how the degree of $f$ is related with the degree of the restriction to $H$?

Apr 19, 2011 at 21:21 comment added Sándor Kovács @Martin: sorry, I meant to say that you can assume at the start that $X$ is connected.
Apr 19, 2011 at 20:00 comment added Martin Brandenburg @Sandor: You cannot conclude that $f$ is an isomorphism, just a finite disjoint union of isomorphisms..
