Abstract

Let XX be a normal projective variety admitting a polarized endomorphism ff, i.e., fHqHf^*H\sim qH for some ample divisor HH and integer q>1q>1. Then Broustet and Gongyo proposed the conjecture that XX is of Calabi-Yau type (CY for short), i.e., (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) is lc for some effective Q\mathbb{Q}-divisor Δ\Delta and KX+ΔQ0K_X+\Delta\sim_{\mathbb{Q}}0. We prove the conjecture when XX is a Gorenstein terminal 3-fold, extending the result of Sheng Meng for smooth threefolds. We then study the singularity type and CY property for (X,Δ+RΔq1)(X,\Delta+\frac{R_{\Delta}}{q-1}) when (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) is an ff-pair, i.e., KX+Δ=f(KX+Δ)+RΔK_X+\Delta=f^*(K_X+\Delta)+R_\Delta with Δ,RΔ\Delta, R_{\Delta} being effective. In particular, we show: (1) KX+Rfq1K_X + \frac{R_f}{q-1} is Q\mathbb{Q}-Cartier and numerically trivial when XX is a Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial (or of klt type) 33-fold; (2) (X,Rfq1)(X, \frac{R_{f}}{q-1}) is log Calabi-Yau when XX is a surface with the Picard number ρ(X)>1\rho(X)>1 or fs(P)=Pf^{-s}(P)=P for some prime divisor PP and s>0s>0.
