Algebraic Geometry 2024-09-24 v5

Abstract

Let (X,C)(X, C) be a germ of a threefold XX with terminal singularities along a connected reduced complete curve CC with a contraction f:(X,C)(Z,o)f : (X, C) \to (Z, o) such that C=f1(o)redC = f^{-1} (o)_{\mathrm{red}} and KX-K_X is ff-ample. Assume that each irreducible component of CC contains at most one point of index >2>2. We prove that a general member DKXD\in |{-}K_X| is a normal surface with Du Val singularities.
