Global generation and very ampleness for adjoint linear series

Abstract

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ with arbitrary characteristic. Suppose $L$ is an ample and globally generated line bundle. By Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity, we show that $K_X \otimes L^{\otimes \dim X} \otimes A$ is globally generated and $K_X \otimes L^{\otimes (\dim X+1)} \otimes A$ is very ample, provided the line bundle $A$ is nef but not numerically trivial. On complex projective varieties, by investigating Kawamata-Viehweg-Nadel type vanishing theorems for vector bundles, we also obtain the global generation for adjoint vector bundles. In particular, for a holomorphic submersion $f:X\longrightarrow Y$ with $L$ ample and globally generated, and $A$ nef but not numerically trivial, we prove the global generation of $ f_*(K_{X/Y})^{\otimes s}\otimes K_Y \otimes L^{\otimes \dim Y} \otimes A$ for any positive integer $s$.
