In this article we show that the Log Minimal Model Program holds for $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial lc pair $(X,\Delta)$ with $X$ being a compact K\"ahler $3$-fold having only klt singularities.
In this paper, we prove the boundedness of foliated surfaces $(X,\mathscr{F})$ which are minimal partial du Val resolutions of canonical models $(X_c,\mathscr{F}_c)$ of general type. For applications, we show the boundedness of non-cusp…
We study the family of rational curves on arbitrary smooth hypersurfaces of low degree using tools from analytic number theory.
We prove that the base space of a log smooth family of log canonical pairs of log general type is of log general type as well as algebraically degenerate, when the family admits a relative good minimal model over a Zariski open subset of…
We classify real families of minimal degree rational curves that cover an embedded rational surface. A corollary is that if the projective closure of a smooth surface is not biregular isomorphic to the projective closure of the unit-sphere,…
We extend the Cone Theorem of the Log Minimal Model Program to log varieties with arbitrary singularities.
We give two generalizations of the Clifford theorem to algebraic surfaces. As an application, we obtain some bounds for the number of moduli of surfaces of general type.
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,…
A super-conformal map and a minimal surface are factored into a product of two maps by modeling the Euclidean four-space and the complex Euclidean plane on the set of all quaternions. One of these two maps is a holomorphic map or a…
We show that a minimal surface of general type has a canonical symplectic structure (unique up to symplectomorphism) which is invariant for smooth deformation. We show that the symplectomorphism type is also invariant for deformations which…
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 continue our study of the relation between log minimal models and various types of Zariski decompositions. Let $(X,B)$ be a projective log canonical pair. We will show that $(X,B)$ has a log minimal model if either $K_X+B$ birationally…
We develop a gluing theory in the sense of Koll\'{a}r for slc surfaces and threefolds in positive characteristic. For surfaces we are able to deal with every positive characteristic $p$, while for threefolds we assume that $p>5$. Along the…
This document contains notes from the lectures of Corti, Koll\'ar, Lazarsfeld, and Musta\c{t}\u{a} at the workshop ``Minimal and canonical models in algebraic geometry" at MSRI, Berkeley, April 2007. The lectures give an overview of the…
We consider the minimal model program for varieties that are not Q-factorial. We show that, in many cases, its steps are simpler than expected. In particular, all flips are 1-complemented. The main applications are to log terminal…
We classify all the effective anticanonical divisors on weak del Pezzo surfaces. Through this classification we obtain the smallest number among the log canonical thresholds of effective anticanonical divisors on a given Gorenstein…
We investigate the variation of log canonical thresholds in (graded) linear systems. For toric log Fano varieties, we give a sharp lower bound for log canonical thresholds of the anticanonical members in terms of the global minimal log…
In this note, we construct three new infinite families of surfaces of general type with canonical map of degree 2 onto a surface of general type. For one of these families the canonical system has base points.
We fix some gaps of a proof of Xiao's conjecture on canonically fibered surfaces of relative genus 5 by the second author. Our argument simplifies the original proof and gives a much better bound on the geometric genus of the surface. Also…
In this article we study the deformation of finite maps and show how to use this deformation theory to construct varieties with given invariants in a projective space. Among other things, we prove a criterion that determines when a finite…
