Abstract

In this paper, we present a characterization of a big $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $D$ on a smooth projective surface $S$ with $D^2 \gt 0$ and $H^1(\mathcal{O}_S (- \lceil D \rceil)) \neq 0$, which generalizes a result of Sakai for $D$ integral. As applications of this result for $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors, we prove results on base-point-freeness and very-ampleness of the adjoint linear system $\lvert K_S + \lceil D\rceil \rvert$. These results can be viewed as refinements of previous results on smooth surfaces of Ein–Lazarsfeld and Maşek.
