Bound of dimension of $H^1$ of certain line bundle

Remember to vote up questions/answers you find interesting or helpful (requires 15 reputation points)

Let $X$ be a smooth variety over a field $k=\bar k$, $\rm char$ $k=0$. Assume that $\mathcal{L}$ is a nef and big line bundle. Is there some bound saying that $$h^1(\mathcal{L}^{\otimes n}) \le f(n)$$ where $f(n)$ is a function only depending on $n$? For example, a polynomial.

And how about the case when $\rm char$ $k>0$?

I remember this kind of things was studied by Alex Kuronya. Did you check his papers? – Hailong Dao Oct 11 2011 at 2:25
I have not yet. But I will try to check it soon. Thanks! – Michael Zhang Oct 11 2011 at 2:32

In general, for any line bundle $L$ over $X$, you have $h^i(X, L^{\otimes n})\leqslant C m^n$ where $m=\dim X$. (write $L$ as the difference of two very ample line bundles, and use the usual restriction exact sequence)

In the case where $L$ is nef, then one can say more: $h^i(X,L^{\otimes n})\leqslant C m^{n-i}$ using Fujita's theorem (cf Lazarsfeld, Positivity in Algebraic Geometry, 1.2.29 "growth of cohomology").

But in the case $i=1$, you don't need Fujita, and this can be done more basically. (see e.g Debarre's "Higher dimensional Algebraic Geometry", Proposition 1.31 p21)

Is this result independent of characteristic of the base field? – Michael Zhang Oct 11 2011 at 16:12
As this is a formal consequence of the restriction exact sequence and the definition of intersection numbers, I would tend to say yes. However, I almost never work over algebraically closed fields with positive characteristic, so I might be missing something.  – Henri Oct 11 2011 at 22:02
