Nagata’s conjecture and maximal Seshadri constants

Proves Nagata's strict inequality ∑imi<dr\sum_i m_i\lt d\sqrt r for every nonzero effective plane curve of degree d through r ≥ 10 very general complex points, with arbitrary multiplicities mi. It also proves maximal multipoint Seshadri constants (Ln/r)1/n(L^n/r)^{1/n} for every smooth polarized projective variety of dimension n ≥ 2 and all sufficiently large r: at very general points over ℂ, and at the geometric generic tuple over any algebraically closed field of positive characteristic.
