Let $X$ be a projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic $p \ge 0$. A surjective endomorphism $f$ of $X$ is $q$-polarized if $f^\ast H \sim qH$ for some ample Cartier divisor $H$ and integer $q >…

We prove that the ACC conjecture for minimal log discrepancies holds for threefolds in $[1-\delta,+\infty)$, where $\delta>0$ only depends on the coefficient set. We also study Reid's general elephant for pairs, and show Shokurov's…

Let $f \colon (X,\Delta) \to Y$ be a fibration such that $K_X + \Delta$ is torsion along the fibres of $f$. Assume that $Y$ has dimension 2, or that $Y$ has dimension 3 and the fibres have dimension at most 3. Then the restriction of the…

It is conjectured that the moduli b-divisor of the Kawamata-Kodaira canonical bundle formula associated to a klt-trivial fibration $(X,B)\to Z$ is semi-ample. In this paper, we show the semi-ampleness of an arbitrarily small perturbation of…

We show that given any two minimal models of a generalized lc pair, there exist small birational models which are connected by a sequence of symmetric flops. We also present some applications.

In this article we prove a finiteness result on the number of log minimal models for $3$-folds in char $p>5$. We then use this result to prove a version of Batyrev's conjecture on the structure of nef cone of curves on $3$-folds in…

The nonvanishing conjecture for projective log canonical pairs plays a key role in the minimal model program of higher dimensional algebraic geometry. The numerical nonvanishing conjecture considered in this paper is a weaker version of the…

Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a four-dimensional log variety that is projective over the field of complex numbers. Assume that $(X, \Delta)$ is not Kawamata log terminal (klt) but divisorial log terminal (dlt). First we introduce the notion of "log…

We prove the abundance theorem for numerically trivial log canonical divisors of log canonical pairs and semi-log canonical pairs.

The Minimal Model Program offers natural higher-dimensional analogues of stable $n$-pointed curves and maps: stable pairs consisting of a projective variety $X$ of dimension $\ge2$ and a divisor $B$, that should satisfy a few simple…

In a previous work, we described the Minimal Model Program in the family of $\Qbb$-Gorenstein projective horospherical varieties, by studying certain continuous changes of moment polytopes of polarized horospherical varieties. Here, we…

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…

We prove the abundance conjecture for projective slc surfaces over arbitrary fields of positive characteristic. The proof relies on abundance for lc surfaces over abritrary fields, proved by Tanaka, and on the technique of Hacon and Xu to…

We study the minimal model program on the geometric generic fiber of a fibration $f:X\to S$ such that for a Zariski dense subset $S'\subseteq S$, $X_s$ is an $\varepsilon$-lc log Calabi--Yau type for every $s\in S'$. We prove that for a…

Here is one of the results of this paper (with the convention ${{1}\over {0}}=+\infty$): Let $X$ be a real Hilbert space and let $J:X\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ functional, with compact derivative, such that $$\alpha^*:=\max\left…

Minimal log discrepancies (mld's) are related not only to termination of log flips, and thus to the existence of log flips but also to the ascending chain condition (acc) of some global invariants and invariants of singularities in the Log…

We construct a moduli space of stable projective pairs with a nontrivial action of a connected reductive group. These stable reductive pairs are higher-dimensional analogs of stable n-pointed curves and generalize to the non-commutative…

We discuss the birational geometry of singular surfaces in positive characteristic. More precisely, we establish the minimal model program and the abundance theorem for Q-factorial surfaces and for log canonical surfaces. Moreover, in the…

Let $f : (X, \Delta) \to Y$ be a flat, projective family of sharply $F$-pure, log-canonically polarized pairs over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p >0$ such that $p \nmid \ind(K_{X/Y} + \Delta)$. We show that $K_{X/Y} +…

We prove that if X is any 2-regular projective scheme (in the sense of Castelnuovo-Mumford) then X is "small". This means that if L is a linear space and Y:= L\cap X is finite, then Y is "linearly independent" in the sense that the…
