Varieties with disjoint prime divisors

I've been following the works of Totaro, Pereira, and Bogomolov/Pirutka/Silberstein about algebraic varieties over complex numbers with families of disjoint divisors. The last one generalizes results ...

Square root of a line bundle up to a finite surjective morphism

Given a projective variety $X$ over a field of any characteristic, consider a line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ over $X$. The existence of a line bundle $\mathcal{L}^\prime$ with an isomorphism ${\mathcal{L}^...

Global sections of canonical line bundle on projective curve with everywhere vanishing derivative

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$, $C$ be a curve (projective, non-singular, connected) of genus $g\geq 2$ over $k$ and $\omega \in H^0(C, \Omega_C)$ be a regular ...

Pencil of divisors in algebraic geometry

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be projective variety over alg closed field of char $0$ and $C = V(F), D= V(G) \subset X$ two distinct divisors (e.g. two quadrics, curves or lines lying in a surface,...) ...

existence of birational morphism and divisors

The following result was metioned in a lecture: A nonsingular (or smooth) projective surface (variety of dimension 2) has a birational morphism to the projective plane, if and only if there exists an ...

On relating $l(A), l(B)$ and $l(A+B)$ for Weil divisors on a smooth projective curve where one of the divisors is effective

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over an Algebraically closed field $k$. Let $k(X)$ denote its function field. If $A, B$ are Weil divisors on $X$ such that $A$ is effective (i.e. $A\ge 0$) , then ...

Existence of regular hypersurface sections

Let $X$ be a irreducible regular projective variety over $Spec(O_K)$ for some number field $K$. Is it known that there exists at least one hypersurface over $Spec(O_K)$ such that cuts $X$ in a regular ...
