We study relations between the property of being log abundant for lc pairs and the termination of log MMP with scaling. We prove that any log MMP with scaling of an ample divisor starting with a projective dlt pair contains only finitely many log abundant dlt pairs. We also discuss log MMP for slc pairs.
We give a new proof of the finiteness of B-representations. As a consequence of the finiteness of B-representations and Kollár's gluing theory on lc centers, we prove that the (relative) abundance conjecture for slc pairs is implied by the abundance conjecture for log canonical pairs.
Effective bounds for the finite number of surjective holomorphic maps between canonically polarized compact complex manifolds of any dimension with fixed domain are proven. Both the case of a fixed target and the case of varying targets are treated. In the case of varying targets, bounds on the complexity of Chow varieties are used.
Let $(X, Δ)/U$ be klt pairs and $Q$ be a convex set of divisors. Assuming that the relative Kodaira dimensions are non-negative, then there are only finitely many log canonical models when the boundary divisors varying in a relatively compact rational polytope in $Q$. As a consequence, we show the existence of the log canonical model for a klt pair $(X, Δ)/U$ with real coefficients.
In this paper, we generalize the finiteness of models theorem in [BCHM06] to Kawamata log terminal pairs with fixed Kodaira dimension. As a consequence, we prove that a Kawamata log terminal pair with $\mathbb{R}-$boundary has a canonical model, and can be approximated by log pairs with $\mathbb{Q}-$boundary and the same canonical model.
The \emph{canonical degree} of a curve $C$ on a surface $X$ is $K_X\cdot C$. Our main result, is that on a surface of general type there are only finitely many curves with negative self--intersection and sufficiently large canonical degree. Our proof strongly relies on results by Miyaoka. We extend our result both to surfaces not of general type and to non--negative curves, and give applications, e.g. to finiteness of negative curves on a general blow--up of $\mathbb P^ 2$ at $n\geq 10$ general points (a result related to \emph{Nagata's Conjecture}). We finally discuss a conjecture by Vojta co…
In this paper, we use canonical bundle formulas to prove some generalizations of an old theorem of Kawamata on the semiampleness of nef and abundant log canonical divisors. In particular, we show that for klt pairs $(X,B)$ with $K_X+B$ effective, $L \in Pic (X)$ nef, nefness and abundance of $K_X+B+L$ implies semiampleness. This essentially generalizes Kawamata's theorem to the setting of generalized abundance.
We give another alternative proof to the Kawamata semiampleness theorem for the log canonical divisors on klt varieties which are nef and abundant. After the first version of this article was posted to the e-print Arxiv, Prof. Fujino notified the author that the quick and essential proof ([Fujino. On Kawamata's theorem.(EMS 2011), Rem 2.7]) is already known. The author would like to thank him. More precisely, Prof. Fujino already gave the quick and essential proof ([Fujino. On Kawamata's thm.(EMS 2011), Rem 2.7], [Fujino. Finite generation of the lc ring in dim 4. (Kyoto J. Math. 50 (2010)), R…
Given a graded sequence of ideals (a_m) on a smooth variety $X$ having finite log canonical threshold, suppose that for every m we have a divisor E_m over X that computes the log canonical threshold of a_m, and such that the log discrepancies of the divisors E_m are bounded. We show that in this case the set of divisors E_m is finite.
We study the behavior of generalized lc pairs with $\mathrm{\textbf b}$-log abundant nef part, a meticulously designed structure on algebraic varieties. We show that this structure is preserved under the canonical bundle formula and sub-adjunction formulas, and is also compatible with the non-vanishing conjecture and the abundance conjecture in the classical minimal model program.
Let $(X,B)$ be a log canonical pair over a normal variety $Z$ with maximal Albanese dimension. If $K_X+B$ is relatively abundant over $Z$ (for example, $K_X+B$ is relatively big over $Z$), then we prove that $K_X+B$ is abundant. In particular, the subadditvity of Kodaira dimensions $κ(K_X+B) \geq κ(K_F+B_F)+ κ(Z)$ holds, where $F$ is a general fiber, $K_F+B_F= (K_X+B)|_F$, and $κ(Z)$ means the Kodaira dimension of a smooth model of $Z$. We discuss several variants of this result in Section 4. We also give a remark on the log Iitaka conjecture for log canonical pairs in Section 5.
We prove the finiteness of log pluricanonical representations for projective log canonical pairs with semi-ample log canonical divisor. As a corollary, we obtain that the log canonical divisor of a projective semi log canonical pair is semi-ample if and only if so is the log canonical divisor of its normalization. We also treat many other applications.
We prove the finiteness of $B$-representations of generalised log canonical pairs. As a consequence, we prove that, the (relative) abundance for a generalised semi-log canonical pair is implied by the abundance for its normalisation. Furthermore, we obtain an abundance theorem for generalised dlt pairs with abundant data, which is a natural inductive step of generalised minimal model program.
Under the assumption of the minimal model theory for projective klt pairs of dimension $n$, we establish the minimal model theory for lc pairs $(X/Z,Δ)$ such that the log canonical divisor is relatively log abundant and its restriction to any lc center has relative numerical dimension at most $n$. We also give another detailed proof of results by the second author, and study termination of log MMP with scaling.
In this article we prove a finiteness result on the number of log minimal models for $3$-folds in char $p>5$. We then use this result to prove a version of Batyrev's conjecture on the structure of nef cone of curves on $3$-folds in characteristic $p>5$. We also give a proof of the same conjecture in full generality in characteristic $0$. We further verify that the duality of movable curves and pseudo-effective divisors hold in arbitrary characteristic. We then give a criterion for the pseudo-effectiveness of the canonical divisor $K_X$ of a smooth projective variety in arbitrary characteristic…
We show Fujita's spectrum conjecture for $ε$-log canonical pairs and Fujita's log spectrum conjecture for log canonical pairs. Then, we generalize the pseudo-effective threshold of a single divisor to multiple divisors and establish the analogous finiteness and the DCC properties.
We show the invariance of plurigenera for generalized polarized pairs with abundant nef parts and generalized canonical singularities. This is obtained by investigating a type of newly introduced multiplier ideal sheaf which is of bimeromorphic nature.
This paper shows that Mustata-Nakamura's conjecture holds for pairs consisting of a smooth surface and a multiideal with a real exponent over the base field of positive characteristic. As corollaries, we obtain the ascending chain condition of the minimal log discrepancies and of the log canonical thresholds for those pairs. We also obtain finiteness of the set of the minimal log discrepancies of those pairs for a fixed real exponent.
The main results of this paper are already known (V.V. Shokurov, the non-vanishing theorem, 1985). Moreover, the non-$\mathbb{Q}$-factorial MMP was more recently considered by O~Fujino, in the case of toric varieties (Equivariant completions of toric contraction morphisms, 2006), for klt pairs (Special termination and reduction to pl flips, 2007) and more generally for log-canonical pairs (Foundation of the minimal model program, 2014). Here we rewrite the proofs of some of these results, by following the proofs given by Y. Kawamata, K. Matsuda, and K. Matsuki (Introduction to the minimal mode…
