I find this concept in Kollar and Mori's book {\em Birational Geometry of Algebraic Varieties}, but cant search the precise definition in the book or google. Can you tell me the definition? Thanks for any comments or references.

    $\begingroup$ A wild guess is that for any ample line bundle $L$, there exists some $N$, such that for all $n\geq N$, $L^{\otimes n}$ is sufficiently ample. This "definition" only makes sense if the term is used in certain contexts like "If $L$ is sufficiently ample, then .." and not "If ..., then $L$ is sufficiently ample." $\endgroup$

There are many theorems of the form

Theorem Frame If something holds and $\mathscr L$ is an ample line bundle, then there exists an $n_0\in \mathbb N$ such that for all $n\geq n_0$, something else holds with $\mathscr L^{\otimes n}$ in it.

You should think of things like

  • a sheaf being generated by global sections
  • Serre vanishing
  • transversality statements
  • avoiding certain points or properties
  • etc.

Sufficiently ample means that whatever they are claiming holds for $\mathscr L^{\otimes n}$ for all $n\geq n_0$ with some $n_0\in \mathbb N$ for any ample line bundle $\mathscr L$.
