Toric geometry provides a bridge between algebraic geometry and combinatorics of fans and polytopes. For each polarized toric variety (X,L) we have associated a polytope P. In this thesis we use this correspondence to study birational…

1) Assuming log Minimal Model Conjecture, we give a construction of a complete moduli space of stable log pairs of arbitrary dimension generalizing directly the space M_{g,n} of pointed stable curves. Each stable pair has semi log canonical…

Using currents with minimal singularities, we construct pointwise minimal multiplicities for a real pseudo-effective $(1,1)$-class $\alpha$ on a compact complex $n$-fold $X$, which are the local obstructions to the numerical effectivity of…

We exhibit examples of pairs $(X,D)$ where $X$ is a smooth projective variety and $D$ is an anticanonical reduced simple normal crossing divisor such that the deformations of $(X,D)$ are obstructed. These examples are constructed via toric…

We study lc pairs polarized by a nef and log big divisor. After proving the minimal model theory for projective lc pairs polarized by a nef and log big divisor, we prove the effectivity of the Iitaka fibrations and some boundedness results…

We construct a surface with log terminal singularities and ample canonical class that has $K_X^2=1/48 983$ and a log canonical pair $(X,B)$ with a nonempty reduced divisor $B$ and ample $K_X+B$ that has $(K_X+B)^2 = 1/462$. Both examples…

We describe the foundation of the log minimal model program for log canonical pairs according to Ambro's idea. We generalize Koll\'ar's vanishing and torsion-free theorems for embedded simple normal crossing pairs. Then we prove the cone…

We establish a characterization of the Du Bois complex of a reduced pair $(X,Z)$ when $X\smallsetminus Z$ has rational singularities. As an application, when $X$ has normal Du Bois singularities and $Z$ is the locus of non-rational…

A couple of complex projective plane curves are said to make a Zariski pair if they have the same degree and the same type of singularities, but their embeddings in the projective plane are topologically different. In this paper, we present…

We prove the existence of log canonical modifications for a log pair. As an application, together with Koll\"ar's gluing theory, we remove the assumption in the first named author's work [Odaka11], which shows that K-semistable polarized…

Given a log canonical pair $(X, \Delta)$, we show that $K_X+\Delta$ is nef assuming there is no non-constant map from the affine line with values in the open strata of the stratification induced by the non-klt locus of $(X, \Delta)$. This…

Let $E\subseteq \mathbb{P}^2$ be a complex curve homeomorphic to the projective line. The Negativity Conjecture asserts that the Kodaira-Iitaka dimension of $K_X+\frac{1}{2}D$, where $(X,D)\to (\mathbb{P}^{2},E)$ is a minimal log…

In this paper we investigate the geometry of projective varieties polarised by ample and more generally nef and big Weil divisors. First we study birational boundedness of linear systems. We show that if $X$ is a projective variety of…

A characteristic pair is a pair (G,C) of polynomial sets in which G is a reduced lexicographic Groebner basis, C is the minimal triangular set contained in G, and C is normal. In this paper, we show that any finite polynomial set P can be…

We prove that one can run the log minimal model program for log canonical $3$-fold pairs in characteristic $p>5$. In particular we prove the Cone Theorem, Contraction Theorem, the existence of flips and the existence of log minimal models…

For every $d \geq 4$, we construct a $d$-dimensional, log canonical, $K$-trivial variety with the property that two general fibers of its Albanese morphism are not birational. This provides a strong counterexample to the…

In this paper, we investigate the explicit birational geometry for projective $\epsilon$-lc varieties polarised by nef and big Weil divisors. We show that if $X$ is a projective $\epsilon$-lc variety, $H$ is a nef and big Weil divisor with…

We discuss the relative log minimal model theory for log surfaces in the analytic setting. More precisely, we show that the minimal model program, the abundance theorem, and the finite generation of log canonical rings hold for log pairs of…

Let $(X,B)$ be a pair, and let $f \colon X \rightarrow S$ be a contraction with $-(K_X + B)$ nef over $S$. A conjecture, known as the Shokurov-Koll\'{a}r connectedness principle, predicts that $f^{-1} (s) \cap \mathrm{Nklt}(X,B)$ has at…

In this paper we investigate boundedness and volumes of generalised pairs, and give applications to usual pairs especially to a class of pairs that we call stable log minimal models. Fixing the dimension and a DCC set controlling…
