Seshadri constants on surfaces of general type
  We study Seshadri constants of the canonical bundle on minimal surfaces of general type. First, we prove that if the Seshadri constant $\eps(K_X,x)$ is between 0 and 1, then it is of the form $(m-1)/m$ for some integer $m\ge 2$. Secondly, we study values of $\eps(K_X,x)$ for a very general point $x$ and show that small values of the Seshadri constant are accounted for by the geometry of $X$.
