Let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be a flat morphism of smooth projective varieties, and $\mathcal{L}$ an effective and ample line bundle on $Y$. For a divisor $A\in H^0(Y,\mathcal{L})$ set $X_A := f^{-1}(A)$. ...

Let $D$ be an integral divisor on a smooth projective variety $X$. Consider the multiples $mD$ of $D$ for $m\geq 0$. Clearly, $h^0(X,mD) = 1$ for $m = 0$. Is there any example where $h^0(X,mD) = 0$ ...

Let $X$ be an anti-canonical rational surface(i.e. $-K_X$ is effective) such that $K_X^2\geq 1$. Let $D$ be a $r$-class divisor ($D^2=r, D^2+D.K_X=-2$, the latter condition can be re-interpreted as $\...
