We prove that the LMMP works for projective threefolds over function fields of characteristic $p>5$ when the canonical divisor is not pseudo-effective. In the process we show that ACC for log canonical thresholds holds in complete…

We prove that a Fano variety (with arbitrary singularities) of dimension $n$ in positive characteristic is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^n$ if the Seshadri constant of the anti-canonical divisor at some smooth point is greater than $n$ and…

We study log canonical thresholds (also called global log canonical threshold or $\alpha$-invariant) of $\mathbb{R}$-linear systems. We prove existence of positive lower bounds in different settings, in particular, proving a conjecture of…

We give a classification of the dual graphs of the exceptional divisors on the minimal resolutions of log canonical foliation singularities on surfaces. For an application, we show the set of foliated minimal log discrepancies for foliated…

We discuss the cone theorem for quasi-log schemes and the Mori hyperbolicity. In particular, we establish that the log canonical divisor of a Mori hyperbolic projective normal pair is nef if it is nef when restricted to the non-lc locus.…

We consider a smooth projective surjective morphism between smooth complex projective varieties. We give a Hodge theoretic proof of the following well-known fact: If the anti-canonical divisor of the source space is nef, then so is the…

We show that minimal models of $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial NQC log canonical generalised pairs exist, assuming the existence of minimal models of smooth varieties. More generally, we prove that on a $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial NQC log canonical…

In this article we prove the following version of the Weak-BAB conjecture for $3$-folds in char $p>5$: Fix a DCC set $I\subset [0, 1)$ and an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>5$. Let $\mathfrak{D}$ be a collection of klt…

Let (X,D) be a dlt pair, where X is a normal projective variety. Let S denote the support of the rounddown of D, and K the canonical divisor of X. We show that any smooth family of canonically polarized varieties over X\S is isotrivial if…

We prove boundedness of global strong $(\delta,n)$-complements for generalized $\epsilon$-log canonical pairs of Fano type. We also prove some partial results towards boundedness of local strong $(\delta,n)$-complements for semi-stable…

We show that a set of K-semistable log Fano cone singularities is bounded if and only if their local volumes are bounded away from zero, and their minimal log discrepancies of Koll\'ar components are bounded from above. As corollaries, we…

We prove the existence of Fano ladders on weak log Fano varieties of coindex less than 4, as an application of adjunction and nonvanishing.

We prove a conjecture due to V.V. Shokurov on the boundedness of $\epsilon$-log canonical complements on surfaces. As an application we give a new proof to the boundedness of weak log Fano surfaces.

We prove the normality of minimal log canonical centers on threefold pairs which residue fields are perfect of residue characteristics $p\neq 2,3 $ and $5$. We also show that the union of all log canonical centers on threefold pairs with…

In this article, we prove that any $\Bbb Q$-factorial weak Fano 3-fold with only terminal singularities has a smoothing.

A famous theorem of Shokurov states that a general anticanonical divisor of a smooth Fano threefold is a smooth K3 surface. This is quite surprising since there are several examples where the base locus of the anticanonical system has…

We give another alternative proof to the Kawamata semiampleness theorem for the log canonical divisors on klt varieties which are nef and abundant. After the first version of this article was posted to the e-print Arxiv, Prof. Fujino…

Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a four-dimensional log variety that is projective over the field of complex numbers. Assume that $(X, \Delta)$ is not Kawamata log terminal (klt) but divisorial log terminal (dlt). First we introduce the notion of "log…

We prove that the linear system $|-1/3K_X| on a non-singular Fano fivefold $X$ of index 3 contains an irreducible divisor with only canonical singularities.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of toric special weak Fano manifolds, which have only special primitive crepant contractions. We study the structure of them, and in particular completely classify smooth toric special weak Fano…
