This paper continues the study of non-general type subvarieties begun in a joint paper with M.Schneider and A.Sommese (Int.L.Math. 10, 1999). We prove uniruledness of a projective manifold containing a submanifold not of general type whose…

Based on the celebrated result on zeros of holomorphic 1-forms on complex varieties of general type by Popa and Schnell, we study holomorphic 1-forms on $n$-dimensional varieties of Kodaira dimension $n-1$. We show that a complex minimal…

We show that if a compact Kahler manifold X admits a cohomologically hyperbolic surjective endomorphism then its Kodaira dimension is non-positive. This gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Guedj in the holomorphic case. The main…

We prove the Jordan property for groups of bimeromorphic selfmaps of three-dimensional compact K\"ahler varieties of non-negative Kodaira dimension and positive irregularity.

We prove that the variation in a smooth projective family of varieties admitting a good minimal model forms a lower bound for the Kodaira dimension of the base, if the dimension of the base is at most five and its Kodaira dimension is…

In this note we prove that a smooth projective variety (defined over a field $k$) of non-negative Kodaira dimension that has a $k$-rational point and a polarized self map must be a finite free quotient of an abelian variety.

Let $V$ be a complex algebraic variety, homogeneous under the action of a complex algebraic group. We show that the log Kodaira dimension of $V$ is non-negative if and only if $V$ is a semi-abelian variety.

We show that if $X$ is a smooth complex projective variety with Kodaira dimension $0$ then the Kodaira dimension of a general fiber of its Albanese map is at most $h^0(\Omega ^1 _X)$.

Let X be a smooth, projective variety over the field of complex numbers. Here we focus on a conjecture attributed to Shigefumi Mori, which claims that X is uniruled if and only if the Kodaira dimension of X is negative.

In this paper, inspired by work of Fano, Morin and Campana--Flenner, we give a full projective classification of (however singular) varieties of dimension 3 whose general hyperplane sections have negative Kodaira dimension, and we partly…

We show that in every dimension greater than or equal to 4, there exist compact Kaehler manifolds which do not have the homotopy type of projective complex manifolds. Thus they a fortiori are not deformation equivalent to a projective…

In this paper we investigate the Kodaira dimension of almost complex $4$-manifolds with torsion first Chern class. First, we prove that, if the almost complex structure is also tamed, the only possible values for the Kodaira dimension are…

Let X be a normal projective variety of dimension n > 2 admitting the action of the group G := Z^{n-1} such that every non-trivial element of G is of positive entropy. We show: `X is not rationally connected' ==> `X is G-equivariant…

Over any algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, we construct examples of fibrations violating subadditivity of Kodaira dimension.

In this article we study how the birational geometry of a normal projective variety $X$ is influenced by a normal subvariety $A \subset X.$ One of the most basic examples in this context is provided by the following situation. Let $f:X\to…

In this paper, we will prove subadditivity of Kodaira dimensions for a fibration with possibly singular geometric generic fiber, under certain nefness and relative semi-ampleness conditions. As an application, for a fibration $f: X \to Y$…

It is shown that a complex normal projective variety has non-positive Kodaira dimension if it admits a non-isomorphic quasi-polarized endomorphism. The geometric structure of the variety is described by methods of equivariant lifting and…

We prove that there are finitely many families, up to isomorphism in codimension one, of elliptic Calabi-Yau manifolds $Y\rightarrow X$ with a rational section, provided that $\dim(Y)\leq 5$ and $Y$ is not of product-type. As a consequence,…
