Let X be a smooth Mori dream space of dimension at least 4. We show that, if X satisfies a suitable GIT condition which we call "small unstable locus", then every smooth ample divisor Y of X is also a Mori dream space. Moreover, the…

In this paper, we completely work out the log minimal model program for the moduli space of stable curves of genus three. We employ a rational multiple $\alpha\delta$ of the divisor $\delta$ of singular curves as the boundary divisor,…

We prove boundedness of global strong $(\delta,n)$-complements for generalized $\epsilon$-log canonical pairs of Fano type. We also prove some partial results towards boundedness of local strong $(\delta,n)$-complements for semi-stable…

The main goal of this paper is to study varieties with the best possible Mori theoretic properties (measured by the existence of a certain decomposition of the cone of effective divisors). We call such a variety a Mori Dream Space. There…

In this article we prove that if $(X,B+\beta)$ is a projective generalized klt pair such that $B+\beta$ is big, then $(X,B+\beta)$ admits a good Minimal Model or Mori fiber space. In particular, this implies Tossati's transcendental…

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 prove that the target space of an extremal Fano contraction from a log canonical pair has only log canonical singularities. We also treat some related topics, for example, the finite generation of canonical rings for compact K\"ahler…

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…

Let $X$ be a projective Frobenius split variety over an algebraically closed field with splitting $\theta : F_* \O_X \to \O_X$. In this paper we give a sharp bound on the number of subvarieties of $X$ compatibly split by $\theta$. In…

In this paper we show that the global (log) canonical threshold of $d$-sheeted covers of the $M$-dimensional projective space of index 1, where $d\geqslant 4$, is equal to one for almost all families (except for a finite set). The varieties…

If the log canonical divisor on a projective variety with only Kawamata log terminal singularities is numerically equivalent to some semi-ample $\mathbf{Q}$-divisor, then it is semi-ample.

We prove that the LMMP works for projective threefolds over function fields of characteristic $p>5$ when the canonical divisor is not pseudo-effective. In the process we show that ACC for log canonical thresholds holds in complete…

We classify log-canonical pairs $(X, \Delta)$ of dimension two with $K_X+\Delta$ an ample Cartier divisor with $(K_X+\Delta)^2=1$, giving some applications to stable surfaces with $K^2=1$. A rough classification is also given in the case…

We prove that the non-vanishing conjecture and the log minimal model conjecture for projective log canonical pairs can be reduced to the non-vanishing conjecture for smooth projective varieties such that the boundary divisor is zero.

We investigate nef and movable cones of hypersurfaces in Mori dream spaces. The first result is: Let $Z$ be a smooth Mori dream space of dimension at least four whose extremal contractions are of fiber type of relative dimension at least…

In this article we establish the following results: Let $(X, B)$ be a dlt pair, where $X$ is a $\mathbb Q$-factorial K\"ahler $4$-fold -- (i) if $X$ is compact and $K_X+B\sim_{\mathbb Q} D\geq 0$ for some effective $\mathbb Q$-divisor, then…

We study relations between the property of being log abundant for lc pairs and the termination of log MMP with scaling. We prove that any log MMP with scaling of an ample divisor starting with a projective dlt pair contains only finitely…

Given a three-dimensional projective log canonical pair over a perfect field of characteristic larger than five, there exists a minimal model program that terminates after finitely many steps.

Following Shokurov's ideas, we give a short proof of the following klt version of his result: termination of terminal log flips in dimension d implies that any klt pair of dimension d has a log minimal model or a Mori fibre space. Thus, in…

Stable surfaces and their log analogues are the type of varieties naturally occuring as boundary points in moduli spaces. We extend classical results of Kodaira and Bombieri to this more general setting: if $(X,\Delta)$ is a stable log…
