Fujita conjecture

In mathematics, Fujita's conjecture is a problem in the theories of algebraic geometry and complex manifolds. It is named after Takao Fujita, who formulated it in 1985.

Statement

In complex geometry, the conjecture states that for a positive holomorphic [line bundle] on a compact complex manifold, the line bundle is

spanned by sections when ;
very ample when,

where is the complex dimension of.
Note that for large the line bundle is very ample by the standard Serre's vanishing theorem. The Fujita conjecture provides an explicit bound on, which is optimal for projective spaces.

Known cases

For surfaces the Fujita conjecture follows from Reider's theorem. For three-dimensional algebraic varieties, Ein and Lazarsfeld in 1993 proved the first part of the Fujita conjecture, i.e. that implies global generation.
