Abstract

Minimal model conjecture for a proper variety XX is that if κ(X)0\kappa(X)\geq 0, then XX has a minimal model with the abundance and if κ=\kappa =-\infty, then XX is birationally equivalent to a variety YY which has a fibration YZY \to Z with KY-K_Y relatively ample. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for a \D\D-regular divisor on a proper toric variety by means of successive contractions of extremal rays and flips of ambient toric variety. Furthermore, for such a divisor XX with κ(X)0\kappa(X)\geq 0 we construct a projective minimal model with the abundance in a different way; by means of "puffing up" of the polytope, which gives an algorithm of a construction of a minimal model.
