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 $s_0\in S$.

Embeddings of Hirzebruch surfaces $\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}\oplus\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(n))$
Let $X_n=\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}\oplus\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(n))$ be the $n-$th Hirzebruch surface. We know that for $d>0$ and higher $k>>0$ the linear system $$\mathcal{L}_{...

Number of conditions imposed by fat points to a linear system
Let $|D|$ be the linear system of degree $d$ hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$ having multiplicity at least $m$ at $s$ general points.
Then $|kD|$ is the linear system of degree $kd$ hypersurfaces in $...

Rigid effective divisors
Let $D\subset X$ be an effective smooth divisor in a smooth projective variety $X$. Assume that $h^0(X,D)=1$. In particular $D$ spans an extremal ray of the effective cone of $X$.
Now, let $f:X\...

Will (general points + small number of arbitrary points) impose independent condtions on plane curves?
It is well known that imposing vanishing at general points of $\mathbb P^2$ gives independent conditions on curves of degree $d$. Also, it is known that a small number ($\le d+1$) points always impose ...

Maps to projective space == line bundles; what do maps to weighted projective space correspond to?
A map from an algebraic variety $X$ to a projective space is the same thing as a globally generated line bundle on $X$. What geometric object on $X$ corresponds to a map to a weighted projective space?...

canonical model of a reducible curve
Let $C$ be a stable reducible curve. Is there a natural way to define it's canonical model (I guess via the dualizing sheaf)? And does somehow the dualizing sheaf restrict to the (probably twisted) ...

Does the normalization of a projective morphism determine the line bundle?
Let $X$ be a smooth, complete algebraic variety and suppose I have two projective, birational morphisms
$$f:X \to \mathbb{P}^n$$
and
$$g:X \to \mathbb{P}^m,$$
such that the image of $f$ is the ...

Line bundles, linear systems and normalization
One example that I always have in mind is that the plane nodal (or even the plane cuspidal) cubic curve $X$ is obtained by an appropirate 2-dim linear subsystem of $|\mathcal{O} (3)|$ on $\mathbb{P}^...

Maps to projective space determined by a line bundle
The following should be pretty standard for any algebraic geometer.
Let $X$ be a compact complex variety, and let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$. We say $L$ is 'generated by global sections' if for ...
