The canonical line bundle of a normal variety
I have heard that the canonical divisor can be defined on a normal variety X since the smooth locus has codimension 2. Then, I have heard as well that for ANY algebraic variety such that the canonical ...

Bertini theorems for base-point-free linear systems in positive characteristics
Suppose that $X$ is a smooth algebraic variety over an algebraically closed (uncountable if it helps) field of characteristic $p > 0$. Suppose that $L$ is a line bundle, probably ample or at least ...

Bertini's theorem over non-algebraically closed field
Let $K$ be a non-algebraically closed (infinite) field of characteristic $0$ and $X$ a smooth, projective $K$-variety. Does there exist an ample invertible sheaf $\mathcal{L}$ on $X$ such that a ...

Pencils on del Pezzo surfaces
Let $X$ be the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at three general points $p_1,p_2,p_3$, that is a del Pezzo surface of degree six, and let $\pi_i:X\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^1$ be the morphism induced by the ...

Stable base loci cannot contain isolated points
Let $X$ be a normal projective complex variety.
A theorem of Fujita-Zariski says that if $L$ is a Cartier divisor on $X$ such that
the base locus $Bs(|L|)$ is a finite set then $L$ is semiample.
It ...
