%0 Journal Article %T Counterexamples to the Kawamata-Viehweg Vanishing on Ruled Surfaces in Positive Characteristic %A Qihong Xie %J Mathematics %D 2007 %I arXiv %X We give counterexamples to the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem on ruled surfaces in positive characteristic, and prove that if there is a counterexample to the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem on a geometrically ruled surface f:X-->C, then either C is a Tango curve or all of sections of f are ample. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0702554v7
