In this paper we characterize two-dimensional semi-log canonical hypersurfaces in arbitrary characteristic from the viewpoint of the initial term of the defining equation. As an application, we prove a conjecture about a uniform bound of…

A conjecture by Campana and Peternell says that if a positive multiple of $K_X$ is linearly equivalent to an effective divisor $D$ plus a pseudo-effective divisor, then the Kodaira dimension of $X$ should be at least as big as the Iitaka…

We prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with a K\"ahler metric of negative holomorphic sectional curvature has ample canonical line bundle. In dimensions greater than three, we prove that, under equal assumptions, the nef…

Let $\kk$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $\KK$ a finitely generated field over $\kk$. Let $\Sigma$ be a central simple $\KK$-algebra, $X$ a normal projective model of $\KK$ and $\Lambda$ a sheaf of maximal…

We prove that the linear system $|-1/3K_X| on a non-singular Fano fivefold $X$ of index 3 contains an irreducible divisor with only canonical singularities.

We expand the theory of log canonical $3$-fold complements. We prove that if $X\rightarrow T$ is a $3$-dimensional contraction of log Calabi-Yau type, then we can find $B\geq 0$ on $X$ for which $(X,B)$ is log canonical and $n(K_X+B)\sim_T…

Given an ambient variety $X$ and a fixed subvariety $Z$ we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a boundary $\Delta$ such that $Z$ is a log canonical center for the pair $(X, \Delta)$. We also show that under some additional…

In this article we prove two cases of the abundance conjecture for $3$-folds in characteristic $p>5$: $(i)$ $(X, \Delta)$ is KLT and $\kappa(X, K_X+\Delta)=1$, and $(ii)$ $(X, 0)$ is KLT, $K_X\equiv 0$ and $X$ is not uniruled.

In this paper, we prove the ampleness conjecture and Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on K-trivial fourfolds. Specifically, we show that any strictly nef divisors on projective fourfolds with trivial canonical bundle and…

We prove that the non-nef locus and the restricted base locus of a pseudoeffective divisor coincide on KLT pairs. We also extend to KLT pairs F. Russo's characterization of nef and abundant divisors by means of asymptotic multiplier ideals.

We prove that the abundance conjecture holds on a variety $X$ with mild singularities if $X$ has many reflexive differential forms with coefficients in pluricanonical bundles, assuming the Minimal Model Program in lower dimensions. This…

Using currents with minimal singularities, we construct pointwise minimal multiplicities for a real pseudo-effective $(1,1)$-class $\alpha$ on a compact complex $n$-fold $X$, which are the local obstructions to the numerical effectivity of…

In the paper \cite{Lau16}, it was shown that the restriction of a pseudoeffective divisor $D$ to a subvariety $Y$ with nef normal bundle is pseudoeffective. Assuming the normal bundle is ample and that $D|_Y$ is not big, we prove that the…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $D$ be a simple normal crossing divisor. If $D$ is the support of some effective $k$-ample divisor, we show $$ H^q(X,\Omega^p_X(\log D))=0,\quad \text{for}\quad p+q>n+k.$$

The main object of the present paper is a numerical criterion determining when a Weil divisor of a $\Q$--factorial complete toric variety admits a positive multiple Cartier divisor which is either numerically effective (nef) or ample. It is…

Let $X'$ be a complex projective manifold, $\dim X'>1$, $Z$ a connected analytic subset of codimension one which is the support of a nef effective Cartier divisor $D$ on $X'$, $X:=X'\setminus Z$. Let $\kappa(D)$ be the Iitaka dimension of…

We prove the abundance theorem for semi log canonical surfaces in positive characteristic.

Given a fibration $f: X \to Y$ with normal general fibre $X_y$, over a field of any characteristic, we establish the Iitaka-type inequality $\kappa(X,-K_X) \leq \kappa(X_y,-K_{X_y})+\kappa(Y,-K_Y)$ whenever the $\mathbb{Q}$-linear series…

Let X be a smooth variety over a field of positive characteristic, and let E be an overconvergent isocrystal on X. We establish a criterion for the existence of a "canonical logarithmic extension" of E to a good compactification of X. In…

A positive integer $n$ is called $\varphi$-practical if the polynomial $X^n-1$ has a divisor in $\mathbb{Z}[X]$ of every degree up to $n$. In this paper, we show that the count of $\varphi$-practical numbers in $[1, x]$ is asymptotic to $C…
