We give conditions for $f$-positivity of relative complete intersections in projective bundles. We also derive an instability result for the fibres.
We study relative hypersurfaces over curves, and prove an instability condition for the fibres. This gives an upper bound on the log canonical threshold of the relative hypersurface. We compare these results with the information that can be derived from Nakayama's Zariski decomposition of effective divisors on relative projective bundles.
Let f: X->B be a fibred surface of genus g whose general fibre is a double cover of a smooth curve of genus gamma. We show that, for g > 4gamma+1, the number 4(g-1)/(g-gamma) is a sharp lower bound for the slope of f, proving a conjecture of Barja. Moreover, we give a characterisation of the fibred surfaces that reach the bound. In the case g = 4gamma+1 we obtain the same sharp bound under the assumption that the involutions on the general fibres glue to a global involution on X.
Let f :S\to B be a non locally trivial fibred surface. We prove a lower bound for the slope of f depending increasingly from the relative irregularity of f and the Clifford index of the general fibres.
