M 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 32L10 14F10. 1 Returning to Question 1.1, Theorem 2 shows that for each k the dimensions h0(−kK ) depend Fm on m in a non-constant way. On the other hand, it is shown in [K86, Example 2.16] that for any positive integer ℓ ≤ m/2 there is a holomorphic family M → ∆ whose fiber M is isomorphic to t F for t 6= 0, and whose central fiber M is isomorphic to F . By Serre duality, we find that m−2ℓ 0 m h2((k+1)K ) = h0(−kK ) Mt Mt depends on t in a non-constant fashion. Similarly, consider the situation of Theorem 3. Let B = {(q ,··· ,q ) ∈ (P2)v : q 6= q if i 6= j} 1 v i j be the configuration space of v points in P2. Denote by Γ ⊂ B ×P2 the graph of the morphism πi π : B → P2 induced from the projection (P2)v → P2 to the i-th factor. Let M be the blow-up i of B ×P2 along v disjoint submanifolds Γ for 1 ≤ i ≤ v. The natural morphism M → B is a πi f holomorphic family with each fiber M over t = (q ,··· ,q ) being isomorphic to the blow-up of P2 t 1 v f along v points q ,··· ,q . Theorem 3 says that 1 v h2(2K ) = h0(−K ) Mt Mt is not constant for v > 5. Since B is obviously smooth and connected, we can find a small disc ∆ ⊂ B such that h2(2K )) is not constant for t ∈ ∆. Mt Remark. Sofarwehaveshown,modulotheproofsofTheorems2and3,thatthereareholomorphic families M → ∆ such that h2(kK ) depends on t. On the other hand, we know from Theorem 1 Mt (and in fact from earlier results using the classification of surfaces) that h0(kK ) is constant in t. Mt Now, suppose X is a complex projective algebraic surface. Let K be the canonical line bundle of X. Applying the Riemann-Roch Theorem for surfaces, we have 1 1 h0(kK)−h1(kK)+h2(kK) = kK(kK −K)+χ(O ) = k(k−1)K2+χ(O ). X X 2 2 Moreover, by Noether’s formula, K2+χ (X) top χ(O ) = , X 12 and therefore 1 h1(kK) = h0(kK)+h2(kK)−(6k2−6k+1)χ(O )+ k(k−1)χ (X). X top 2 Now, a deformation does not change the differentiable structure, and χ (X) is a topological top invariant. Therefore, χ (X) is a deformation invariant. Next, χ(O ) = h0,0 −h1,0 +h2,0 is also top X invariant for a family of Ka¨hler manifolds, because Hodge numbers are invariant for such a family. By Siu’s result of invariance of plurigenera, h0(kK) is also a deformation invariant. It follows that, since h2(kK) is not a deformation invariant, neither is h1(kK). Acknowledgements.

Deformation of a Hirzebruch surface: Proof of Theorem 2 Recall that the Hirzebruch surfaces F (m ≥ 0) is the P1-bundle over P1 associated to the sheaf m OP1 ⊕OP1(m). For example, F0 is isomorphic to P1×P1, and F1 is the blow-up of P2 at a point. P1 can be covered by two affine line U ,U ∼= C. Let z and z be affine coordinates for U and 1 2 1 2 1 U2 respectively. Then on U1 and U2 we have z1z2 = 1. The sheaf OP1(m) can be constructed by gluing two trivial bundles U ×C and U ×C together as follows: a section of s of U ×C can be 1 2 1 1 glued with a section s of U ×C if s (z ) = zms (z ) on U ∩U where z = 1/z (that is to say, 2 2 1 1 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 the transition function of the corresponding vector bundle is zm). Therefore, F can be obtained 1 m by gluing U ×P1 with U ×P1 where (z ,ζ ) ∈ U ×P1 is identified with (z ,ζ ) ∈ U ×P1 if 1 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 z z = 1, and ζ = zmζ . 1 2 1 2 2 (Here and below we adopt the standard abuse of notation, using an affine coordinate ζ to denote 1 a point in the fiber P1.) We recall the holomorphic family {M : t ∈ C} defined in [K86, Example 2.16]: Fix a positive t integer ℓ ≤ m/2, define M as t M = U ×P1∪U ×P1, t 1 2 where (z ,ζ )∈ U ×P1 and (z ,ζ ) ∈ U ×P1 are the same point in M if 1 1 1 2 2 2 t z z = 1 and ζ = zmζ +tzℓ. 1 2 1 2 2 2 It is proved in [K86] that M is isomorphic to Hirzebruch surface F if t = 0 and isomorphic to t m F if t 6= 0. Thus F is a deformation of F . m−2ℓ m m−2ℓ Now we calculate dimH0(−kK ) = dimΓ 2T Nk for k > 0. First, we assert that a Fm Fm section in Γ U1×P1, 2TU1×P1 ⊗k is of the (cid:0)fo(cid:0)rVm (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:0) (cid:0)V (cid:1) (cid:1) ∂ ∂ ⊗k v (z ,ζ ) = a (z )ζ2k +a (z )ζ2k−1+...+a (z ) ∧ , 1 1 1 2k 1 1 2k−1 1 1 0 1 ∂z ∂ζ (cid:16) (cid:17)(cid:16) 1 1(cid:17) i.e., it the expansion contains no term of power of ζi for i > 2k. Indeed, expand v (z ,ζ ) into a 1 1 1 power series ∞ a (z )ζi ( ∂ ∧ ∂ )⊗k. Now cover U ×P1 with two open subset U ×V and i=0 i 1 1 ∂z1 ∂ζ1 1 1 1 U ×V wher(cid:0)ePV and V ar(cid:1)e isomorphic to C and cover P1. Assume the coordinates of V and V 1 2 1 2 1 2 are ζ and η respectively. Then ζ η = 1 on V ∩V , and therefore ∂ = −η2 ∂ . In U ×V , the 1 1 1 1 1 2 ∂ζ1 1∂η1 1 2 section v (z ,ζ ) is of the form 1 1 1 ∞ ∞ 1 ∂ ∂ ⊗k ∂ ∂ ⊗k a (z ) ∧(−η2) = (−1)k a (z )η2k−i ∧ . i 1 ηi ∂z 1 ∂η i 1 1 ∂z ∂η (cid:16)Xi=0 1(cid:17)(cid:16) 1 1(cid:17) (cid:16)Xi=0 (cid:17)(cid:16) 1 1(cid:17) For this section to be holomorphic, all the terms a (z ) for i> 2k should vanish. i 1 Similarly, a section in Γ U2×P1, 2TU2×P1 ⊗k is of the form (cid:0) (cid:0)V (cid:1) (cid:1) ∂ ∂ ⊗k v (z ,ζ )= b (z )ζ2k +b (z )ζ2k−1+...+b (z ) ∧ . 2 2 2 2k 2 2 2k−1 2 2 0 2 ∂z ∂ζ (cid:16) (cid:17)(cid:16) 2 2(cid:17) To glue v and v into a section of Γ F , 2T ⊗k , we need v (z ,ζ ) = v (z ,ζ ) over 1 2 m Fm 1 1 1 2 2 2 (U U )×P1. Since (cid:0) (cid:0)V (cid:1) (cid:1) 1 2 T ∂ ∂ ∂ = −z2 +mzm−1ζ ∂z 1∂z 2 2∂ζ 2 1 1 and ∂ ∂ = z−m , ∂ζ 1 ∂ζ 2 1 we have ∂ ∂ ∂ ∂ ∧ = −z2−m ∧ . ∂z ∂ζ 1 ∂z ∂ζ 2 2 1 1 3 Therefore on (U ∩U )×P1, 1 2 v (z ,ζ ) 2 2 2 ∂ ∂ ⊗k = b (z )ζ2k +b (z )ζ2k−1+...+b (z ) ∧ 2k 2 2 2k−1 2 2 0 2 ∂z ∂ζ (cid:16) (cid:17)(cid:16) 2 2(cid:17) 1 1 1 ∂ ∂ ⊗k = b ( )z2kmζ2k +b ( )z(2k−1)mζ2k−1+...+b ( ) (−z2−m)k ∧ (cid:20) 2k z 1 1 2k−1 z 1 1 0 z (cid:21) 1 ∂z ∂ζ 1 1 1 (cid:16) 1 1(cid:17) 1 1 1 ∂ ∂ ⊗k =(−1)k b ( )z(m+2)kζ2k +b ( )z(m+2)k−mζ2k−1+...+b ( )z(2−m)k ∧ (cid:20) 2k z 1 1 2k−1 z 1 1 0 z 1 (cid:21) ∂z ∂ζ 1 1 1 (cid:16) 1 1(cid:17) Comparing the coefficients above with the coefficients of ∂ ∂ ⊗k v (z ,ζ ) = a (z )ζ2k +a (z )ζ2k−1+...+a (z ) ∧ , 1 1 1 2k 1 1 2k−1 1 1 0 1 ∂z ∂ζ (cid:16) (cid:17)(cid:16) 1 1(cid:17) we get (−1)kb ( 1 )z2k+km = a (z ), 2k z1 1 2k 1 (−1)kb ( 1 )z2k+(k−1)m = a (z ), 2k−1 z1 1 2k−1 1 ··· (−1)kbi(z11)z12k+(i−k)m = ai(z1), ··· (−1)kb0(z11)z12k−mk = a0(z1). Thuswe seethat fora and b tobeholomorphic, a (z )is apolynomial of degree≤ 2k+(i−k)m i i i 1 (thus it has 2k +(i−k)m+1 degrees of freedom for i ≥ k− 2k and 0 otherwise), and then b is m i uniquely determined by a . Therefore, i dimH0(−kK ) =dimΓ 2T Nk Fm Fm (cid:0)(cid:0)^ (cid:1) (cid:1) 2k = 2k+km+1 + 2k+(k−1)m+1 +...+ 2k− m+1 m h i (cid:0) (cid:1) (cid:0) (cid:1) (cid:0) (cid:1) 1 2k 2k = 4k+(k− )m+2 k+ +1 . 2 m m (cid:16) h i (cid:17)(cid:16) h i (cid:17) Thus Theorem 2 is proved.

Deformation of a blow-up of a projective space Take v distinct points q ,··· ,q on Pn, let M → Pn be the blow-up of Pn along these v points, 1 v and let E ,··· ,E be the corresponding exceptional divisors. 1 v Let Z be the set of nonnegative integers. For α = (α ,··· ,α ) ∈ Zn, define |α| = n α . + 1 n + i=1 i Let f(z1,...,zn) be a polynomial of n variables. Denote P ∂|α|f ∂|α|f = . ∂zα ∂zα1···∂zαn 1 n We need the following lemma: 4 Lemma 3.1. For an integer k > 0, the vector space H0(−kK ) is isomorphic to the vector space M consisting of polynomials f(z ,...,z ) of degree ≤ (n+1)k satisfying 1 n ∂|α|f (q )= 0, ∀1≤ i ≤ v,∀|α| < (n−1)k. ∂zα i Proof. The line bundle −kKM (resp. −kKPn) is isomorphic to ( nTM)⊗k (resp. ( nTPn)⊗k). Thus the natural push-forward of vector fields V V π∗ :Γ(TM) → Γ(TPn) induces a natural push-forward n ⊗k n ⊗k π∗ :Γ TM → Γ TPn (cid:0)(cid:0)^ (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:0)(cid:0)^ (cid:1) (cid:1) hence a natural push-forward e π∗ :Γ(−kKM)→ Γ(−kKPn). Since π : M → Pn is an isomorphism outside the exceptional divisors, π must be injective. ∗ e Indeed, if a holomorphic section of Γ(−kK ) is zero on a open subset of M, then it must be M identically zero. Therefore the dimension of Γ(−kK ) is equal to the imageeof π . M ∗ Now we examine which elements of Γ(−kKPn) are in the image of π∗ : Γ(−kKM) → Γ(−kKPn). Locally, we consider an open polydisc U = {z = (z ,··· ,z ) : |z | < ǫ,∀i} of Cen where ǫ > 0 is 1 n i e sufficiently small. Let U be the blow-up of U along the center (0,··· ,0). Then Ue = {(z,ζ) ∈ U ×Pn−1 : ziζj = zjζi,∀1 ≤ i< j ≤ n}, where (ζ1,··· ,ζn) is thee homogeneous coordinates of ζ ∈ Pn−1. Let U = {(z,ζ) ∈U :ζ 6= 0}. i i Without loss of generality, we consideer i= 1. e U = {(w ,··· ,w ): |w |,|w w |,··· ,|w w |< ǫ} 1 1 n 1 1 2 1 n with the embedding U1 ֒→e U given by (w1,w2,··· ,wn) 7→ (w1,w1w2,··· ,w1wn). An element of ( nT )⊗k is of the form U e e V ∂ ∂ ⊗k f(z ,z ,··· ,z ) ∧···∧ . 1 2 n ∂z ∂z (cid:0) 1 n(cid:1) Since w = z ,w = z /z ,··· ,w = z /z , we have ∂ = ∂ − w2 ∂ − w3 ∂ −···− wn ∂ , 1 1 2 2 1 n n 1 ∂z1 ∂w1 w1∂w2 w1∂w3 w1 ∂wn ∂ = 1 ∂ , ···, ∂ = 1 ∂ . Therefore it induces a meromorphic section of ( nT )⊗k: ∂z2 w1∂w2 ∂zn w1∂wn Ue1 V 1 ∂ ∂ ⊗k f(w ,w w ,··· ,w w ) ∧···∧ . 1 1 2 1 n w1(n−1)k(cid:0)∂w1 ∂wn(cid:1) Expanding f in a power series, we see that the smallest degree of nonzero terms of the power series should be no less than (n−1)k to ensure the above section being holomorphic. Thus, the local calculation shows Γ(−kKM) is isomorphic to the subspace of Γ(−kKPn) where the Taylor expansion of each section at q (1 ≤ i≤ v) contains no term of degree < (n−1)k. i We can always find a hyperplane H ⊂ Pn that does not contain any q (1 ≤ i ≤ v). The i complementof H,denotedbyV, isisomorphictoCn. Itiswell knownthatsections ofΓ(−kKPn)= OPn((n+1)k) are in one-to-one correspondence with polynomials on V ∼= Cn of degree ≤ (n+1)k. Thus the dimension of Γ(−kKPn) is (n+1n)k+n . Therefore the subspace Γ(−kKM) = H0(−kKM) can be identified with the set of poly(cid:0)nomials f(cid:1)of degree ≤ (n+1)k satisfying ∂|α|f (q )= 0, ∀1≤ i ≤ v,∀|α| < (n−1)k. ∂zα i 5 (cid:3) Now we examine the case when n = 2 and k = 1, i.e. H0(−K ) where M is the blow-up of P2 M at v points q ,··· ,q . The above lemma says that 1 v H0(−K )= {polynomials f of degree ≤ 3 such that f(q )= 0,∀1 ≤ i ≤ v.} M i The dimension of H0(−K ) depends on the position of q ’s. Indeed, let f = a zizj be M i i+j≤3 ij 1 2 the polynomial corresponding to the vector v = (a ) ∈ C10. Consider thPe map C2 → C10 f ij i+j≤3 sending a point q = (x,y) to qˆ= (xiyj) = (1,x,y,x2,xy,y2,x3,x2y,xy2,y3) (the map q 7→ qˆ i+j≤3 can be thought of as the affine version of Veronese embedding) and denote the image of this map by S. Then the condition f(q) = 0 means exactly that fˆ·qˆ = 0. As there is no proper linear subspace of C10 containing S, generic v points qˆ ,··· ,qˆ in S are linearly independent for v ≤ 10. 1 v Therefore, H0(−K ) = 10−v for generic v(≤ 10) points p ,··· ,p . M 1 v Nowweassertthatforanyv ≤ 4pointsq = (x ,y ),thecorrespondingv points{qˆ}v inS span i i i i i=1 a linear subspace of dimension v in C10 (in another word, they are in general position). Indeed, after changing coordinates if necessary, we can assume all x ’s are different. Then the matrix with i the i-th row being the coordinate of qˆ is i 1 x y x2 x y y2 x3 x2y x y2 y3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... , 1 xv yv x2v xvyv yv2 x3v x2vyv xvyv2 yv3 which contains a v×v square 1 x ··· xv−1 1 1 .. .. .. . . . 1 xv ··· xvv−1 Its determinant is (x −x ) which is nonzero since we assume that the x ’s are different. 1≤i<j≤v j i i Therefore the abovQe v ×10 matrix is of full rank, which implies the v points {qˆi}vi=1 in S span a linear subspace of dimension v in C10. On the other hand, we can easily find as finitely many points as we want in S which lie in a 4 dimensional subspace of C10. For example, we can take {q = (i,0)}v , the corresponding i i=1 {qˆ}v ∈ C10 satisfy the requirement. for v ≥ 5, start from v points of S in a 4 dimensional i i=1 subspace, move them point by pointto a general position, we get v points in S spanninga subspace of dimension 4,5,··· ,min(v,10), respectively. Therefore we have proved the following theorem: Theorem 4. Let M → P2 be the blow-up of P2 along v distinct points. The dimension of H0(−K ) M is 10 −v for v ≤ 4; for v > 4, the dimension depends on the position of the v points: for each integer i such that max(10−v,0) ≤ i ≤ 6, there exist v distinct points such that the corresponding M satisfies dimH0(−K ) = i. M It is then a direct calculation to get the following Corollary 3.2. The dimension of the first cohomology of 2K is 0, if v ≤ 4; h1(2K) = (cid:26) integer between max(0,v−10) and v−4, if v ≥ 5.
