Globally $F$-regular and log Fano varieties
Abstract
We prove that every globally -regular variety is log Fano. In other words, if a prime characteristic variety is globally -regular, then it admits an effective -divisor such that is ample and has controlled (Kawamata log terminal, in fact globally -regular) singularities. A weak form of this result can be viewed as a prime characteristic analog of de Fernex and Hacon's new point of view on Kawamata log terminal singularities in the non--Gorenstein case. We also prove a converse statement in characteristic zero: every log Fano variety has globally -regular type. Our techniques apply also to -split varieties, which we show to satisfy a "log Calabi-Yau" condition. We also prove a Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem for globally -regular pairs.
