Nakayama-Zariski decomposition and the termination of flips

Algebraic Geometry 2026-05-27 v4

Abstract

We show that for pseudoeffective projective pairs the termination of one sequence of flips implies the termination of all flips, assuming a natural conjecture on the behaviour of the Nakayama-Zariski decomposition under the operations of a Minimal Model Program.
