Let X be a Calabi-Yau threefold. We show that if there exists on X a non-zero nef non-ample divisor then X contains a rational curve, provided its second Betti number is greater than 4.

We study singularities obtained by the contraction of the maximal divisor in compact (non kaehlerian) surfaces which contain global spherical shells. These singularities are of genus 1 or 2, may be Q-Gorenstein, numerically Gorenstein or…

Let $(X,L)$ be an $n$-dimensional polarized variety. Fujita's conjecture says that if $L^n>1$ then the adjoint bundle $K_X+nL$ is spanned and $K_X+(n+1)L$ is very ample. There are some examples such that $K_X+nL$ is not spanned or…

Let X be a complex projective variety and D a reduced divisor on X. Under a natural minimal condition on the singularities of the pair (X, D), which includes the case of smooth X with simple normal crossing D, we ask for geometric criteria…

Let $X$ be a normal variety. Assume that for some reduced divisor $D \subset X$, logarithmic 1-forms defined on the snc locus of $(X, D)$ extend to a log resolution $\tilde X \to X$ as logarithmic differential forms. We prove that then the…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety with a nef anticanonical divisor over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, we establish a precise structure of $X$ under the condition that $a_X: X \to {\rm Alb}(X)$ is…

Kleiman's criterion states that, for $X$ a projective scheme, a divisor $D$ is ample if and only if it pairs positively with every non-zero element of the closure of the cone of curves. In other words, the cone of ample divisors in $N^1(X)$…

Using the theory of Frobenius singularities, we show that 13mK_X + 45mA is very ample for an ample Cartier divisor A on a Kawamata log terminal surface X with Gorenstein index m, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic…

In this article we prove the following version of the Weak-BAB conjecture for $3$-folds in char $p>5$: Fix a DCC set $I\subset [0, 1)$ and an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>5$. Let $\mathfrak{D}$ be a collection of klt…

Let X be a projective irreducible symplectic manifold and L a non trivial nef divisor on X. Assume that the nef dimension of L is strictly less than the dimension of X. We prove that L is semiample

Under the framework of dynamics on normal projective varieties by Kawamata, Nakayama and Zhang \cite{Kawamata85,Nakayama10,NZ09,NZ10,Zhang16}, Hu and the author \cite{HL21}, we may reduce Kawaguchi-Silverman conjecture for automorphisms $f$…

We prove a Noether--Lefschetz-type result for certain linear systems on a projective threefold with isolated singularities.

We consider $K_X$-negative extremal contractions $f\colon X\to (Z,o)$, where $X$ is an algebraic threefold with only $\epsilon$-log terminal Q-factorial singularities and $(Z,o)$ is a two (resp., one)-dimensional germ. The main result is…

We show that if $X$ is a smooth uniruled projective variety and $L$ a big and semiample $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor on $X$, then there exists a proper closed subset $W\subset X$ such that every subvariety $Y$ satisfying $a(Y,L)> a(X,L)$ is…

In this paper we discuss some recent results about extremal contractions of complex algebraic varieties. These are proper surjective maps, $\phi: X\longrightarrow Z$, of normal varieties with connected fibers such that $X$ has mild…

Let $(X,o)$ be a germ of a 3-dimensional terminal singularity of index $m\geq 2$. If $(X,o)$ has type cAx/4, cD/3-3, cD/2-2, or cE/2, then assume that the standard equation of $X$ in $\mathbb{C}^4/\mathbb{Z}_m$ is non-degenerate with…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective $n$-fold such that $q(X)=0$ and $L$ a globally generated, big line bundle on $X$ such that $h^0(K_X+(n-2)L) >0$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the adjoint systems $|K_X+kL|$ to be birational…

We prove that if $(X,\Delta)$ is a threefold pair with mild singularities such that ${-}(K_X+\Delta)$ is nef, then the numerical class of ${-}(K_X+\Delta)$ is effective.

Let $S$ be a rational surface with $\dim|-K_S|\ge 1$ and let $\pi: X\rightarrow S$ be a ramified cyclic covering from a nonruled smooth surface $X$. We show that for any integer $k\ge 3$ and ample divisor $A$ on $S$, the adjoint divisor…
