Abstract:

We study the problem about the very ampleness of the canonical line bundle of compact locally Hermitian symmetric manifolds of non-compact type. In particular, we show that any sufficiently large unramified covering of such manifolds has very ample canonical line bundle, and give estimates on the size of the covering manifold, which is itself a locally Hermitian symmetric manifold, in terms of geometric data such as injectivity radius or degree of coverings.
