Why is $2A_0(X)=0$ for a cubic threefold $X$ containing a line, over an arbitrary field $k$
I can't quite follow Proposition $2.1$ of "UNIVERSAL UNRAMIFIED COHOMOLOGY OF CUBIC FOURFOLDS CONTAINING A PLANE". I posted this on Math stackexchange but got no answer.
Let $X$ be a smooth ...

About the contractability
Let $X\subset \mathbb{P}^3$ be the surface defined by the equation $xy-zw=0$, and consider the curve $E \subset X$ defined by the equation $x=z=0$.
Question. Can $E$ be contracted to a point?

Is there a name for a normal, projective variety where every effective divisor is ample?
Is there a name for a normal, projective variety such that every effective divisor is ample? Examples of such varieties are projective space, weighted projective spaces, and simple Abelian varieties ...

Very ample + effective = ample?
Sorry if this question is not appropriate for this site, but I haven't got an answer on stackexchange. It's well known that there are divisors (on a normal projective variety over the complex numbers) ...

Isomorphism outside of negative curves against the canonical
Let $X$ be a smooth projective complex variety and let us suppose that the closure of the union of curves $C$ on $X$ that are non-positive against the canonical divisor is a closed subset $F\subsetneq ...

Liftability of varieties, after fpqc base change
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a finite field, with a closed immersion to some other smooth projective variety $S$, with $S$ liftable.
Suppose there exists an fpqc cover $S'\to S$, such ...

Linear sections of Segre varieties and rational normal scrolls
In a projective space $\mathbb{P}^{k+2}$ consider two complementary subspaces $\mathbb{P}^1,\mathbb{P}^k$, and let $C\subset\mathbb{P}^k$ be a degree $k$ rational normal curve. Fixed an isomorphism $\...

Complete intersections in projective spaces
Let $X$ be an arbitrary smooth projective variety over a field $k$.
Do there exist:
a smooth complete intersection $X'$ in a projective space.
a surjective morphism of $k$-varieties $X'\to X$ ?

Push-forward of nef divisors via finite morphisms
Let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be a finite morphism between smooth projective varieties, and let $D$ be an effective nef but not ample divisor on $X$.
Consider the divisor $f_{*}D$ on $Y$. Is $f_{*}D$ nef ...

Intersections of divisors in blow-ups of $\mathbb{P}^n$
Let $p_1,p_2,p_3\in\mathbb{P}^n$ be three general points, $X$ the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n$ at $p_1,p_2,p_3$, then along the lines $\left\langle p_i,p_j\right\rangle$, and finally along the plane $\...

F-curves and divisors on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$
It is conjectured that a divisor on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ would be ample if $D\cdot C >0$ for all F-curves $C\subset \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$. Does the intersection degree with all F-...

Example of cone of numerically effective curves which is not polyhedral
I think I have seen more than one reference in which the cone of numerically effective curves can be 'not polyhedral', i.e. with an infinite number of extremal rays
I cannot remember where I read ...

Numerically negative exceptional divisor on a surface.
Suppose $S$ is an algebraic surface (possibly projective) over an algebraically closed field $k$. Suppose $D_i$ are irreducible smooth curves (rational, if you want) with negative self-intersection ...
