The qualitative Nagata-Biran-Szemberg conjecture: maximal multipoint Seshadri constants for many very general points

Surfaces (Theorem 1.1, principal): for every smooth integral complex projective surface SS and ample LL there is r0(S,L)r_0(S,L) such that for every r≥r0r\ge r_0, at rr very general points, L−L2/r∑EiL-\sqrt{L^2/r}\sum E_i is nef on the blowup, so ε(S,L;p)=L2/r\varepsilon(S,L;p)=\sqrt{L^2/r}; Corollary 5.5 extends this to uncountable algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. Companion, n≥3n\ge3 over C\mathbb C: ε(X,L;p)=(Ln/r)1/n\varepsilon(X,L;p)=(L^n/r)^{1/n} at very general points for every r≥r0(X,L)r\ge r_0(X,L). Companion, positive characteristic, n≥2n\ge2: the same equality at the geometric generic tuple. Not shown: an explicit or uniform threshold, the higher-cycle Seshadri analogues Roé-Ross distinguish, or very general points (rather than the geometric generic tuple) in positive characteristic. The sharp plane case r≥10r\ge10 is the separate Nagata entry.
