Here we investigate the property of effectivity for adjoint divisors. Among others, we prove the following results: (i) A normal projective variety $X$ with at most canonical singularities is uniruled if and only if for each very ample…

In this article we present a 3-dimensional analogue of a well-known theorem of E. Bombieri (in 1973) which characterizes the bi-canonical birationality of surfaces of general type. Let $X$ be a projective minimal 3-fold of general type with…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety admitting a polarized endomorphism $f$, i.e., $f^*H\sim qH$ for some ample divisor $H$ and integer $q>1$. It was conjectured by Broustet and Gongyo that $X$ is of Calabi-Yau type, i.e., $(X,\Delta)$ is…

Let $X$ be a projective manifold of dimension $n$. Suppose that $T_X$ contains an ample subsheaf. We show that $X$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^n$. As an application, we derive the classification of projective manifolds containing a…

Let $f: X \to Z$ be a fibration from a normal projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ onto a normal curve $Z$ over a perfect field of characteristic $p>2$. Let $(X, B)$ be a dlt pair such that the induced pair on a general fibre is log…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"{a}hler manifold, and let $L$ be a line bundle on $X.$ Define $I_k(L)$ to be the kernel of the multiplication map $ Sym^k H^0 (L) \to H^0 (L^k).$ For all $h \leq k,$ we define a map $\rho : I_k(L) \to Hom (H^{p,q}…

This is a revised version of the second half of my paper math.AG/9909021. We prove that there exists a positive integer $\nu_{n}$ depending only on $n$ such that for every smooth projective $n$-fold of general type $X$ defined over complex…

In this paper, we prove the ampleness conjecture and Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on K-trivial fourfolds. Specifically, we show that any strictly nef divisors on projective fourfolds with trivial canonical bundle and…

Let $X$ be a smooth compact complex surface subject to the following conditions: (i) the canonical line bundle $\mathcal{O}_X(K_X) $ is very ample, (ii) the irregularity $q(X): = h^1(\mathcal{O}_X) =0$, (iii) $X$ contains no rational normal…

Any ample Cartier divisor D on a projective variety X is strictly nef (i.e. D.C>0 for any effective curve C on X). In general, the converse statement does not hold. But this is conjectured to be true for anticanonical divisors. The present…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension three and let $L$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. In this paper, we provide a lower bound of the dimension of the global sections of $m(K_{X}+L)$ under the assumption that…

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…

We discuss the problem of classifying birational extremal contractions of smooth threefolds where the canonical bundle is trivial along the curves contracted, in the case when a divisor is contracted to a point. We prove the analytic…

Building on the work of the fourth author in math.AG/9904074, we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field…

Let $\pi:Z\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ be a general minimal $n$-fold conic bundle with a hypersurface $B_Z\subset\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ of degree $d$ as discriminant. We prove that if $d\geq 4n+1$ then $-K_Z$ is not pseudo-effective, and that if…

Let $H$ be an ample line bundle on a non-singular projective surface $X$, and $M(H)$ the coarse moduli scheme of rank-two $H$-semistable sheaves with fixed Chern classes on $X$. We show that if $H$ changes and passes through walls to get…

We prove some results on effective very ampleness and projective normality for some varieties with trivial canonical bundle. In the first part we prove an effective projective normality result for an ample line bundle on regular smooth…

We prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with a K\"ahler metric of negative holomorphic sectional curvature has ample canonical line bundle. In dimensions greater than three, we prove that, under equal assumptions, the nef…

In this paper we study families of projective manifolds with good minimal models. After constructing a suitable moduli functor for polarized varieties with canonical singularities, we show that, if not birationally isotrivial, the base…
