Extract

Let X be an algebraic (complete) variety over a fixed algebraically closed field k. To every Cartier divisor D on X, we can associate the graded k-algebra . As is known, for a semi-ample divisor D, R(X, D) is a finitely generated k-algebra (see [21] or [9]), while this property is no longer true for arbitrary nef and big divisors (see [21]).
