Abstract

We will give optimal bounds for Seshadri constants of an ample line bundle at multiple points on a complex projective surface X. We also present a solution to the long-studied classical problem on the existence of curves on X with given topological singularities at r arbitrary points p1,...,pr. Namely, we obtain a universal lower bound on the degree of curves for the existence. It is independent of the position of the singular points.
