In search for examples concerning pushforward of nef divisors and lc-trivial fibrations

My question is motivated by ideas around the moduli b-divisor of an lc-trivial fibration (see for instance the following paper by Ambro https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0308143.pdf). In such a setup, one ...

Is there any relation between the pushforward of a divisor and the pushforward of its line bundle?

Given a morphism between normal varieties $f: X \to Y$, we can push forward a Cartier divisor $D$ to get a cycle $f_* D$. On the other hand, we can form the line bundle $\mathscr{L}(D)$ and push that ...

How close is $h^0(mD)$ to be a polynomial?

Let $X$ be a normal (or smooth if it helps) projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$. Fix a Cartier divisor $D$: I am interested in knowing how $h^0(mD)$ behaves as $m$ varies. At ...

Semi-continuity of the Picard number

Let $f:X\rightarrow S$ be a family of smooth projective varieties. For $s\in S$ set $X_s := f^{-1}(s)$, and let $\rho(X_{s})$ be the Picard number of the fiber over $s\in S$. Fix a point $s_0\in S$. ...

Linear system of a relative effective divisor on an arithmetic surface contains vertical divisors

I am puzzled by the behavior of some divisors in my attempt to understand the relative Picard functor $\mathrm{Pic}_{X/S}$ of an arithmetic surface $\pi:X\to S$. This is defined by relative divisors $...

A question on Okounkov bodies

Let $X$ be an irreducible $n$-dimensional projective variety, and $$Y_n\subset Y_{n-1}\subset\dots\subset Y_1\subset X$$ a flag of irreducible subvarieties such that $Y_i$ has codimension $i$ in $X$ ...

Lefschetz type theorems for big and nef divisors

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety, and $D\subset X$ a smooth nef and big divisor. Assume that the restriction map $Pic(X)\rightarrow Pic(D)$ is an isomorphism over $\mathbb{Q}$. Under which ...

How to define Cartier divisor and Weil divisor on algebraic stack?

How to define Cartier divisor and Weil divisor on algebraic stack? Do they correspond to line bundles on stack like the case of schemes? In case of a Deligne-Mumford stack, can we have a simpler ...

Problem regarding existence of a divisor representing line bundle

We consider a normal irreducible variety $X$ and a line bundle $L$. The question is when $L$ is induced by a Cartier divisor $D$. We know that if $s$ is a rational section of $O_X(D)$, where $D$ is a ...

Twisting a line bundle with the zero section

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve and $L$ be an invertible sheaf on $X$. Denote by $\mathbb{L}$ the line bundle associated to $L$, $\pi:\mathbb{L} \to X$ the natural morphism and $0_\pi$ the zero ...

Cone of moving curves

Let $X$ be a projective variety and $C\subset X$ be a moving curve, that is the curves numerically equivalent to $C$ cover a dense open subset of $X$. How can we detect when $C$ is an extremal ray ...

$H$ very ample, $f$ finite, is there uniform $C=C(\mathrm{deg}(f))$ for $C f^* H$ very ample?

Let $X$ and $Y$ be normal projective varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ of dimension $n$. Let $f: X \rightarrow Y$ be a finite morphism. Also, let $H$ be a very ample divisor on $Y$. Is there a constant $C=...
