Effective Fujita-type theorems for surfaces in arbitrary characteristic

Fujita's conjecture is known to be false in positive characteristic. However, if X is a smooth projective variety over a field of positive characteristic and L is an ample divisor on X, it is an open question whether linear systems of the form KX+aKX+bL can be made basepoint-free or very ample with a and b only depending on the dimension of X. We conjecture that such a and b exist and prove a strong version of this conjecture for basepoint-freeness, very ampleness, and jet ampleness on smooth projective surfaces in arbitrary characteristic. We do not use the classification of surfaces. In positive characteristic, we prove these positivity properties hold for Schwede's canonical linear system S⁰ (X, X OX (aKX+bL) ). To prove these results, we prove new results on Seshadri constants, moving Seshadri constants, and Frobenius-Seshadri constants, which in the singular case are new even over the complex numbers.
