We prove that for a smooth projective irregular $3$-fold $X$ with $K_X\equiv 0$ and a nef and big divisor $L$ on $X$, $|mL+P|$ gives a birational map for all $m\geq 3$ and all $P\in \text{Pic}^0(X)$. We also use the same method to deal with…

For a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano 3-fold $X$ on which $K_X$ is a canonical divisor, we investigate the geometry induced from the linear system $|-mK_X|$ in this paper and prove that the anti-$m$-canonical map $\varphi_{-m}$ is birational onto its…

We prove that the $5$-canonical map of every minimal projective $3$-fold $X$ with $K_X^3\geq 86$ is stably birational onto its image, which loosens previous requirements $K_X^3>4355^3$ and $K_X^3>12^3$ respectively given by Todorov and…

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We prove $P_{12}(V)>0$ and $P_{24}(V)>1$ (which answers an open problem of J. Kollar and S. Mori). We also prove that the canonical volume has an universal lower bound…

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…

Let X be a projective 3-fold with at most Q-factorial terminal singularities on which K_X is nef and big. Suppose the canonical index r(X)>1. For any positive integer m, it is interesting to consider the base point freeness and…

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We prove $P_{12}(V):=\text{dim} H^0(V, 12K_V)>0$ and $P_{m_0}(V)>1$ for some positive integer $m_0\leq 24$. A direct consequence is the birationality of the pluricanonical…

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We shall give a detailed classification up to baskets of singularities on a minimal model of $V$. We show that the $m$-canonical map of $V$ is birational for all $m\geq 73$…

We give some explicit upper bounds on the effective birationality of the canonical or anti-canonical system for a singular surface. In particular, we show that for any surface $X$ with $\epsilon$-lc singularity and the canonical divisor…

We answer an open problem raised by Chen and Zhang in 2008 and prove that, for any minimal projective 3-fold $X$ of general type with the geometric genus $\geq 5$, $X$ is birationally fibred by a pencil of $(1,2)$-surfaces (i.e. $c_1^2=1$,…

This paper proves that the 5-canonical map of a smooth minimal 3-fold is birational when the geometric genus is bigger than 2. A combination of the results in this paper and that of Ein-Lazarsfeld-Lee, the possible exceptional cases are…

Let $X$ be a complex smooth projective threefold of general type. Assume $q(X)>0$. We show that the $m$-canonical map of $X$ is birational for all $m\geq 5$.

Nonsingular projective 3-folds $V$ of general type can be naturally classified into 18 families according to the {\it pluricanonical section index} $\delta(V):=\text{min}\{m|P_m\geq 2\}$ since $1\leq \delta(V)\leq 18$ due to our previous…

We show that $|mK_X|$ defines a birational map and has no fixed part for some bounded positive integer $m$ for any $\frac{1}{2}$-lc surface $X$ such that $K_X$ is big and nef. For every positive integer $n\geq 3$, we construct a sequence of…

For smooth projective 3-folds of general type, we prove that the relative canonical stability $\mu_s(3)\leq 8$. This is induced from our improved result of Koll\'ar: the m-canonical map of a smooth projective 3-fold of general type is…

It is well-known that a nonsingular minimal cubic surface is birationally rigid; the group of its birational selfmaps is generated by biregular selfmaps and birational involutions such that all relations between the latter are implied by…

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…

Let X be a smooth projective complex variety, of dimension 3, whose Hodge numbers h^{3,0}(X), h^{1,0}(X) both vanish. Let f: X--> X be a birational map that induces an isomorphism on (dense) open subvarieties U,V of X. Then we show that the…

Let $X$ be a projective minimal Gorenstein 3-fold of general type with canonical singularities. We prove that the 5-canonical map is birational onto its image.

We prove that for every positive integer $m\geq 18(2^{9}\cdot 3^{7})!$ and every smooth projective 3-fold of general type X defined over complex numbers, $\mid mK_{X}\mid$ gives a birational rational map from X into a projective space.
