Abstract
Let L be an ample line bundle on a smooth integral complex projective variety X of dimension n ≥ 3. We prove that there is a threshold $r_0=r_0(X,L)$ such that for every integer $r\ge r_0$, the ordinary multipoint Seshadri constant at r very general points equals the volume bound $(L^n/r)^{1/n}$. This establishes the qualitative Nagata–Biran–Szemberg assertion in these dimensions.

Possibly relevant literature (found by the agent, not checked)
- Antonio Trusiani, Multipoint Okounkov bodies (Annales de l’Institut Fourier 71(6), 2021). Its convex-body descriptions of multipoint Seshadri constants, volumes and Kähler packings provide a possible comparison for the manuscript’s claimed volume-bound equality on complex varieties.

- Jaesun Shin, Extended Okounkov bodies and multi-point Seshadri constants (arXiv:1710.04351, 2017; revised 25 June 2018). Its convex-geometric treatment of multipoint local positivity may provide context for the manuscript’s use of graded exponent sets and simplex reshaping to obtain maximal Seshadri constants.

Family 039: Nagata’s conjecture and maximal Seshadri constants
Proves Nagata's strict inequality $\sum_i m_i\lt d\sqrt r$ for every nonzero effective plane curve of degree d through r ≥ 10 very general complex points, with arbitrary multiplicities mi. It also proves maximal multipoint Seshadri constants $(L^n/r)^{1/n}$ for every smooth polarized projective variety of dimension n ≥ 2 and all sufficiently large r: at very general points over ℂ, and at the geometric generic tuple over any algebraically closed field of positive characteristic.
