Let X be an algebraic (complete) variety over a fixed algebraically closed field k. To every Cartier divisor D on X, we can associate the graded k-algebra . As is known, for a semi-ample divisor D, R(X, D) is a finitely generated k-algebra (see [21] or [9]), while this property is no longer true for arbitrary nef and big divisors (see [21]).

Let G be a n affine algebraic group over the algebraically closed field k, and let V be an affine, normal algebraic variety over k on which G acts. Suppose that the ring of invariants k [F]G is finitely generated over k, and let W be the affine variety with k[W] = k[V]G. The purpose of this paper is to show that the induced homomorphism from the étale fundamental group of V to that of W is surjective, and to examine the consequences of this observation in terms of the relations between the Picard and divisor class groups of k[V] and k[W],

Let K be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. The term “variety” always means here an irreducible algebraic variety over K. The notations and the terminology are borrowed in general from EGA [4].

Throughout this paper all rings considered will be commutative, noetherian with identity. If R is such a ring and M is a finitely generated R-module, we shall use v(M) to denote that non-negative integer with the property that M can be generated by v(M) elements but not by fewer.Since every ideal in a noetherian ring is finitely generated, it is a natural question to ask what v(I) is for a given ideal I. Hilbert's Nullstellensatz may be viewed as the first general theorem dealing with this question, answering it when I is a maximal ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field.More recently, it has been noticed that the properties of an R-ideal I are intertwined with those of the R-module I/I2.

In “Seminormal rings and weakly normal varieties” we introduced the notion of a c-regular function on an algebraic variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Our intention was to describe those k-valued functions on a variety X that become regular functions when lifted to the normalization of X, but without any reference to the normalization in the definition. That is, we aspired to identify the c-regular functions on X with the regular functions on the weak normalization of X

We shall work over a fixed algebraically closed field k of arbitrary characteristic. By an algebraic variety over k we shall mean a reduced algebraic scheme over k. Fix a positive integer n and e = (e0, el,…, en) a system of n + 1 weights (i.e. n + 1 positive integers e0, el,…, en). If k[T0, Tl,…, Tn] is the polynomial k-algebra in n + 1 variables, graded by the conditions deg(Ti) = ei i = 0, 1,…, n, denote by Pn(e) = Proj(k[T0, T1,…, Tn]) the n-dimensional weighted projective space over k of weights e. We refer the reader to [3] for the basic properties of weighted projective spaces.

In this paper we are dealing with the following problem: determine all normal (or smooth) projective varieties X over an algebraically closed field k supporting a given variety Y as an ample Cartier divisor.

Let C be a smooth irreducible complete curve of genus g ≥ 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. An ample K3 extension of C is a K3 surface with at worst rational double points which contains C in the smooth locus as an ample divisor.In this paper, we prove that all smooth curve of genera. 2 ≤ g ≤ 8 have ample K3 extensions. We use Bertini type lemmas and double coverings to construct ample K3 extensions.

AbstractWe consider the surface obtained from the projective plane by blowing up the points of intersection of two plane curves meeting transversely. We find minimal generating sets of the defining ideals of these surfaces embedded in projective space by the sections of a very ample divisor class. All of the results are proven over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic.

Let ℳg be the coarse moduli scheme of curves of genus g. For an algebraically closed field k define is a quasiprojective algebraic variety over k, its dimension being 3g – 3 for g ≥ 2, 1 for g = 1, and 0 for g = 0. It can be considered as the moduli variety for the classes of birationally equivalent curves of genus g over k. For 0 < g, g′ and n ≥ 1 let be the subset of those points of whose corresponding curves possess a rational map of degree n into a curve of genus g′ over k.

AbstractWe provide a general framework for studying the expansion of strongly minimal sets by adding additional relations in the style of Hrushovski. We introduce a notion of separation of quantifiers which is a condition on the class of expansions of finitely generated models for the expanded theory to have a countable ω-saturated model. We apply these results to construct for each sufficiently fast growing finite-to-one function μ from ‘primitive extensions’ to the natural numbers a theory Tμ of an expansion of an algebraically closed field which has Morley rank 2. Finally, we show that if μ is not finite-to-one the theory may not be ω-stable.
