We study the termination of minimal model programs for log canonical pairs in the complex analytic setting. By using the termination, we prove a relation between the minimal model theory for projective log canonical pairs and that for log…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a projective, log canonical, $K$-trivial pair over the complex numbers. Let $Z$ be a minimal log canonical center of $(X,\Delta)$ and suppose that there exists a torus $\mathbb{T}\subseteq\operatorname{Aut}(X)$…

In this paper, we discuss a proof of existence of log minimal models or Mori fibre spaces for klt pairs $(X/Z,B)$ with $B$ big$/Z$. This then implies existence of klt log flips, finite generation of klt log canonical rings, and most of the…

We show that the set of rationally connected projective varieties $X$ of a fixed dimension such that $(X,B)$ is klt, and $-l(K_X+B)$ is Cartier and nef for some fixed positive integer $l$, is bounded modulo flops.

We construct log canonical pairs $(X,B)$ with $B$ a nonzero reduced divisor and $K_X+B$ ample that have the smallest known volume. We conjecture that our examples have the smallest volume in each dimension. The conjecture is true in…

We discuss the minimal model program for b-log varieties, which is a pair of a variety and a b-divisor, as a natural generalization of the minimal model program for ordinary log varieties. We show that the main theorems of the log MMP work…

Varieties with log terminal and log canonical singularities are considered in the Minimal Model Program, see \cite{...} for introduction. In \cite{shokurov:hyp} it was conjectured that many of the interesting sets, associated with these…

The Sarkisov Program studies birational maps between varieties that are end products of the Minimal Model Program (MMP) on nonsingular uniruled varieties. If X and Y are terminal Q-factorial projective varieties endowed with a structure of…

For moduli of polarized smooth K-trivial a.k.a., Calabi-Yau varieties in a general sense, we revisit a classical problem of constructing its "weak K-moduli" compactifications which parametrizes K-semistable (i.e., semi-log-canonical…

Given a projective contraction $\pi \colon X\rightarrow Z$ and a log canonical pair $(X, B)$ such that $-(K_X+B)$ is nef over a neighborhood of a closed point $z\in Z$, one can define an invariant, the complexity of $(X, B)$ over $z \in Z$,…

We introduce linearly decomposable (LD) generalized pairs, which serve as a workable substitute for rational decompositions in the non-NQC setting. Using LD generalized pairs, together with a refinement of special termination and…

In 2002, Alexeev provided a modular interpretation for the toroidal compactification of $A_g$ for the 2nd Voronoi fan. In this paper we show that pairs $(X,\Theta)$ in the boundary of this moduli space are semi-log canonical, the analog of…

One of the central aims of the Minimal Model Program is to show that a projective log canonical pair $(X,\Delta)$ with $K_X+\Delta$ pseudoeffective has a good model, i.e.\ a minimal model $(Y,\Delta_Y)$ such that $K_Y+\Delta_Y$ is…
