MIT Let X be a smooth projective algebraic variety of dimension (d ? 1) over a eld, and let ! denote its canonical sheaf. For any ample invertible O X-module L, Fujita's freeness conjecture predicts that ! L d is generated by its global sections, i.e. that the associated linear system of divisors is base point free F]. The purpose of this note is to reinterpret this conjecture as a statement about local cohomology modules and give a simple proof (that does not rely on vanishing theorems) of the conjecture where the ample invertible sheaf is generated by its sections. This special case, in the setting of smooth schemes over the complex numbers, is well known. However, the proofs require the Kodaira Vanishing Theorem or other deep vanishing theorems that fail for schemes deened over elds of prime characteristic. As far as I know, there have been no prior results along these lines for schemes of characteristic p > 0. The proof here of Fujita's Freeness Conjecture for globally generated L in characteristic p > 0 holds even when the appropriate vanishing theorems fail. It is valid on any \F-rational type" scheme, a class of schemes more general than smooth schemes and closely related to (and often equivalent to) the class of schemes with rational singularities. The existing proofs over C can be adapted to the case of rational singularities because the Kodaira Vanishing Theorem holds in this setting. For varieties of low dimension deened over a eld of characteristic zero, Fujita's Freeness Conjecture is known. For surfaces, this follows from the work of Reider R]; and for three-folds, from the work of Ein and Lazarsfeld EL]. The four-fold case has been recently proved by Kawamata K]. For varieties of arbitrary dimension over a eld of characteristic zero, Demailly proved the existence of uniform bounds for the global generatation of bi-adjoint linear series D]. That ! L N(d) is globally generated for a function N(d) quadratic in dim (X) has been proved by Angehrn and Siu AS]. All of these proofs require the use of vanishing theorems that fail in characteristic p > 0.
