Abstract

We bound the degrees of generators and relations of section rings associated to arbitrary $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on projective spaces of all dimensions and Hirzebruch surfaces. For section rings of effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on projective spaces, we find the best possible bound on the degrees of generators and relations.
