Is the positive part of the Zariski decomposition of a big $\mathbb{R}$-divisor big?
I can't understand why the positive part of the Zariski decomposition of a big class is itself big. More concretely:
let $X$ be a smooth projective surface over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $N^1_{\mathbb{R}}(X)$...

blowing up, -1 curves, effective and ample divisors
Lets say we're on a smooth surface, and we blow up at a point.
Is there a simple explicit computation that shows to me the fact that the exceptional divisor E has self intersection -1 ? I don't ...

Generalisations of Riemann-Roch for surfaces
Let $X$ be a smooth projective algebraic surface (over $\mathbb{C}$ ). For all $L\in \mathrm{Pic}(X)$, we have
$$\chi(L)=\chi(\mathcal{O}_X)+\frac{1}{2}(L^2-L\cdot \omega_X).$$
This is the famous ...

Picard numbers of isogenous K3 surfaces over a non-closed field
Let $S_1, S_2$ be K3 surfaces defined over a field $k$ and $\phi\!: S_1 \dashrightarrow S_2$ a dominant rational $k$-map (so-called isogeny). It is known that $\rho(S_1) = \rho(S_2)$ for the complex ...

Are there (-2)-curves on an Enriques surface?
Let $X$ be an Enriques surface. A $(-2)$-curve is an irriducible rational curve on X such that $C^2 = -2$. By Proposition [VIII,16.1] from Barth-Peters-Van de Ven, we have that if $D^2 = -2$, then it ...

Does $h^1(D)=0$ imply numerical connectedness on K3 surfaces?
Let $X$ be a complex K3 surface and $D$ an effective divisor on $X$.
We shall say: $D$ is connected if its support is connected. $D$ is numerically connected if for any non-trivial effective ...
