This short paper shows that a projective bundle over a smooth variety with a section can be uniquely recovered from the embedding of the section in its second infinitesimal neighborhood within the bundle.
This paper generalizes the easy addition formula. Given a normal variety $X$ with an invertible sheaf $L$, inequalities are found bounding $\ka(X,L)$ from above based on the behavior of $L$ restricted to a subvariety or to a pair of "positive" intersecting subvarieties.
This paper was inspired by work by T. Peternell, M. Schneider and A.J. Sommese on the Kodaira dimension of subvarieties. In it I find a relation between the Kodaira-Iitaka dimension of a divisor on a normal variety and that of related divisors on an irreducible normal subvariety of codimension one. The main result may be stated in a simplified form as: For $X$ a complete normal variety, $Y \sub X$ an irreducible complete normal divisor and $\sL$ an invertible sheaf on $X$, there exist integers $n_1 > 0, n_2 \geq 0$ for which $κ(X,\sL) - 1 \leq κ(Y,\sL^{n_1}(-n_2Y)|_Y)$, where, if $Y$ is not a fixed component of large tensor powers of $\sL$, we may take $n_1 >> n_2$. This has implications for Kodaira-Iitaka dimension on a subvariety of any codimension.
