Multigraded Fujita approximation

Shin-Yao Jow

Vol. 251 (2011), No. 2, 331–336
Abstract

The original Fujita approximation theorem states that the volume of a big divisor D on a projective variety X can always be approximated arbitrarily closely by the self-intersection number of an ample divisor on a birational modification of X. One can also formulate it in terms of graded linear series as follows: Let W = {Wk} be the complete graded linear series associated to a big divisor D, where

Wk = H0 (X,𝒪X (kD)).

For each fixed positive integer p, define W(p) to be the graded linear subseries of W generated by Wp:

       {
(p)   0                   if p ∤ m,
W m  =  Image (SkWp  → Wkp ) if m = kp.

Then the volume of W(p) approaches the volume of W as p →∞. We will show that, under this formulation, the Fujita approximation theorem can be generalized to the case of multigraded linear series.
