We describe a method to construct completions of affine spaces into total spaces of $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminal Mori fiber spaces over the projective line. As an application we provide families of examples with non-rational,…

Any two birational Mori fibre spaces are connected by a sequence of Sarkisov links.

Toric geometry provides a bridge between algebraic geometry and combinatorics of fans and polytopes. For each polarized toric variety (X,L) we have associated a polytope P. In this thesis we use this correspondence to study birational…

We classify 1-dimensional connected dually flat manifolds $M$ that are toric in the sense of [Molitor, arXiv:2109.04839], and show that the corresponding torifications are complex space forms. Special emphasis is put on the case where M is…

In this paper we show that any two birational Mori fiber spaces of $\Qq$-factorial gklt g-pairs are connected by a finite sequence of Sarkisov links.

We study Mori fiber spaces over a two-dimensional base which satisfy the semistability assumption. As an application of our technique we give a new proof of the existence of semistable 3-fold flips.

We show that minimal models of $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial NQC log canonical generalised pairs exist, assuming the existence of minimal models of smooth varieties. More generally, we prove that on a $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial NQC log canonical…

A result due to Cho, Miyaoka, Shepherd-Barron [CMSB] and Kebekus [Ke] provides a numerical characterization of projective spaces. More recently, Dedieu and H\"oring [DH] gave a characterization of smooth quadrics based on similar arguments.…

The main result of this paper is a structural theorem for projective Q-factorial toric varieties X in P^N, covered by lines. We prove that there exists a toric fibration f: X -> Z, locally trivial in the Zariski topology, with fiber a…

If $(X, \mcF, \D)$ is a projective rank two foliated log canonical triple such that $(X,B)$ is klt for some $0 \leq B \leq \D$, we show that we can run a $(K_\mcF +\Delta)$-MMP and any such MMP terminates with either a minimal model or Mori…

We totally classify the projective toric varieties whose canonical divisors are divisible by their dimensions. In Appendix, we show that Reid's toric Mori theory implies Mabuchi's characterization of the projective space for toric…

Let X be a compact Kaehler threefold such that the base of the MRC-fibration has dimension two. We prove that X is bimeromorphic to a Mori fibre space. Together with our earlier result arXiv:1304.4013 this completes the MMP for compact…

We consider rationally connected complex projective manifolds M and show that their loop spaces--infinite dimensional complex manifolds--have properties similar to those of M. Furthermore, we give a finite dimensional application concerning…

In this note we consider the problem of determining which Fano manifolds can be realised as fibres of a Mori fibre space. In particular, we study the case of toric varieties, Fano manifolds with high index and some Fano manifolds with high…

These notes are based on three lectures given at the 2013 CIME/CIRM summer school. The purpose of this series of lectures is to introduce the notion of a toric fibration and to give its geometrical and combinatorial characterizations.…

We prove a relative version of the theorem of Cho, Miyaoka and Shepherd-Barron: a Mori fibre space of maximal length is birational to a projective bundle.

Under some positivity assumptions, extension properties of rationally connected fibrations from a submanifold to its ambient variety are studied. Given a family of rational curves on a complex projective manifold X inducing a covering…

We study the existence and properties of birationally equivalent models for elliptically fibered varieties. In particular these have either the structure of Mori fiber spaces or, assuming some standard conjectures, minimal models with a…

This paper proves that every projective toric variety is the fine moduli space for stable representations of an appropriate bound quiver. To accomplish this, we study the quiver $Q$ with relations $R$ corresponding to the finite-dimensional…

Let $(X/Z,B+A)$ be a $\Q$-factorial dlt pair where $B,A\ge 0$ are $\Q$-divisors and $K_X+B+A\sim_\Q 0/Z$. We prove that any LMMP$/Z$ on $K_X+B$ with scaling of an ample$/Z$ divisor terminates with a good log minimal model or a Mori fibre…
