We extend Hacon--M\textsuperscript{c}Kernan's rational chain connectedness theorem to the complex analytic setting. As a consequence, we prove that the fibers of any resolution of singularities of complex analytic kawamata log terminal…

A conic bundle is a contraction $X\to Z$ between normal varieties of relative dimension $1$ such that $-K_X$ is relatively ample. We prove a conjecture of Shokurov which predicts that, if $X\to Z$ is a conic bundle such that $X$ has…

In this note, we reduce various conjectures in birational geometry, including Shokurov conjecture on singularities of the base of log Calabi-Yau fibrations of Fano type and boundedness conjecture for rationally connected Calabi-Yau…

Shokurov conjectured that the set of all log canonical thresholds on varieties of bounded dimension satisfies the ascending chain condition. In this paper we prove that the conjecture holds for log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties…

Let $f\colon X\to Z$ be a Mori fibre space. McKernan conjectured that the singularities of $Z$ are bounded in terms of the singularities of $X$. Shokurov generalised this to pairs: let $(X,B)$ be a klt pair and $f\colon X\to Z$ a…

We establish a conjecture of Mumford characterizing rationally connected complex projective manifolds in several cases.

These are lectures notes on rationally connected varieties, written for the "Etats de la Recherche" of the French Mathematical Society held in Strasbourg (May 2008). We focus on geometric aspects. These notes have been written in order that…

We prove a conjecture of Shokurov which characterises toric varieties using log pairs.

We discuss a difference between the rational and the real non-vanishing conjecture for pseudo-effective log canonical divisors of log canonical pairs. We also show the log non-vanishing theorem for rationally connected varieties under…

For a birational analogue of minimal elliptic surfaces X/Y, the singularities of the fibers define a log structure in codimension one on Y. Via base change, we have a log structure in codimension one on Y', for any birational model Y' of Y.…

In this paper, we investigate singularities on fibrations and related topics. We prove conjectures of McKernan and Shokurov on singularities on Fano type fibrations and a conjecture of the author on singularities on log Calabi-Yau…

Let $X$ be a projective variety with log terminal singularities and vanishing augmented irregularity. In this paper we prove that if $X$ admits a relatively minimal genus one fibration then it does contain a subvariety of codimension one…

We verify a special case of V. V. Shokurov's conjecture about characterization of toric varieties. More precisely, let $(X,D=\sum d_iD_i)$ be a three-dimensional log variety such that $K_X+D$ is numerically trivial and $(X,D)$ has only…

We consider pairs (X,A), where X is a variety with klt singularities and A is a formal product of ideals on X with exponents in a fixed set that satisfies the Descending Chain Condition. We also assume that X has (formally) bounded…

In this short note we prove that in many cases the failure of a variety to be separably rationally connected is caused by the instability of the tangent sheaf (if there are no other obvious reasons). A simple application of the results…

Building on results of Koll\'ar, we prove Shokurov's ACC Conjecture for log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties, and more generally, on varieties with quotient singularities.

In this paper, we show that projective globally $F$-regular threefolds, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 11$, are rationally chain connected.

In this paper, the technique of foliations in characteristic $p$ is used to investigate the difference between rational connectedness and separable rational connectedness in positive characteristic. The notion of being freely rationally…

In this paper we investigate singularities on toric fibrations. In this context we study a conjecture of Shokurov (a special case of which is due to M$^\rm{c}$Kernan) which roughly says that if $(X,B)\to Z$ is an $\epsilon$-lc Fano type log…

(On the fundamental group of rationnally connected varieties.) I show that the fundamental group of a normal variety which is rationally chain connected is finite. The proof holds in non-zero characteristic. Je d\'emontre que le groupe…
