In this article, we show that flips and divisorial contractions preserve the K\"ahler condition (for strongly $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial compact K\"ahler generalized klt pairs with $B+\beta_X$ big), and we give a criterion for varieties in Fujiki's class $\mathcal C$ to be K\"ahler. We also prove the existence of small $\mathbb Q$-factorializations for generalized klt pairs and of dlt modifications for generalized pairs.
In this article, we establish the minimal model program for big gklt K\"ahler pairs, and in particular we prove Tosatti's transcendental base-point-free conjecture.
We introduce the Bott-Chern complexity of a compact K\"ahler pair $(X,B)$. This invariant compares $\dim(X)$, $\dim H^{1,1}_{\rm BC}(X)$ and the sum of the coefficients of $B$. When $(X,B)$ is Calabi-Yau, we show that its Bott-Chern complexity is non-negative. We prove that the Bott-Chern complexity of a Calabi-Yau compact K\"ahler pair $(X,B)$ is at least three whenever $X$ is not projective. Furthermore, we show this value is optimal and is achieved by certain singular non-projective K3 surfaces.
In this paper, we construct counterexamples to the boundedness of generalised log canonical models of surfaces with fixed appropriate invariants, where the underlying varieties can have arbitrary Kodaira dimension. This answers a question of Birkar and the first author.
In this article we prove that if $(X,B+\beta)$ is a projective generalized klt pair such that $B+\beta$ is big, then $(X,B+\beta)$ admits a good Minimal Model or Mori fiber space. In particular, this implies Tossati's transcendental base-point-free conjecture for projective manifolds.
In this article we prove analogs of Kawamata's canonical bundle formula, Kawamata subadjunction and plt/lc inversion of adjunction for generalized pairs on Kaehler varieties. We also show that a conjecture of BDPPin dimension n-1 implies that the cone theorem holds for any n-dimensional Kaehler generalized klt pair. Along the way, we obtain more complete versions of some results due to Collins-Tosatti and Cao-Hoering.
In this article we prove the existence of pl-flipping and divisorial contractions and pl flips in dimension $n$ for compact K\"ahler varieties, assuming results of the minimal model program in dimension $n-1$. We also give a self contained proof of the cone theorem, the existence of flipping and divisorial contractions, of flips and minimal models in dimension 3.
In this article we define generalized pairs $(X, B+\boldsymbol{\beta})$ where $X$ is an analytic variety and $\boldsymbol{\beta}$ is a b-(1,1) current. We then prove that almost all standard results of the MMP hold in this generality for compact K\"ahler varieties of dim $X\leq 3$. More specifically, we prove the cone theorem, existence of flips, existence of log terminal models, log canonical models and Mori fiber spaces, the geography of log canonical and log terminal models, etc.
We show that generalized log canonical thresholds for complex analytic spaces satisfy the ACC and we characterize the accumulation points.
In this short article we show that if $(X, B)$ is a compact K\"ahler klt pair of maximal Albanese dimension, then it has a good minimal model, i.e. there is a bimeromorphic contraction $\phi:X\dashrightarrow X'$ such that $K_{X'}+B'$ is semi-ample.
In this article we establish the following results: Let $(X, B)$ be a dlt pair, where $X$ is a $\mathbb Q$-factorial K\"ahler $4$-fold -- (i) if $X$ is compact and $K_X+B\sim_{\mathbb Q} D\geq 0$ for some effective $\mathbb Q$-divisor, then $(X, B)$ has a log minimal model, (ii) if $(X/T, B)$ is a semi-stable klt pair, $W\subset T$ a compact subset and $K_X+B$ is effective over $W$ (resp. not effective over $W$), then we can run a $(K_X+B)$-MMP over $T$ (in a neighborhood of $W$) which ends with a minimal model over $T$ (resp. a Mori fiber space over $T$). We also give a proof of the existence of flips for analytic varieties in all dimensions and the relative MMP for projective morphisms between analytic varieties.
Suppose that $X$ is an integral scheme (quasi-)projective over a complete local ring of mixed characteristic. Using ideas of Takamatsu-Yoshikawa and Bhatt-Ma-et. al, we define a notion of a $+$-test ideal on $X$, including for divisors and linear series. We obtain global generation results in this setting that generalize the well known global generation results obtained via multiplier ideal sheaf techniques in characteristic $0$ and via test ideals in characteristic $p>0$. We also obtain applications to the order of vanishing of linear series and to the diminished base locus in mixed characteristic similar to results of Ein-Lazarsfeld-Mustata-Nakamaye-Popa, Nakayama, and Mustata in the equal characteristic case.
In this article we show that the Log Minimal Model Program for $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial dlt pairs $(X, B)$ on a compact K\"ahler $3$-fold holds. More specifically, we show that after finitely many divisorial contractions and flips we obtain either a (log) minimal model or a Mori fiber space. We also prove a base point free theorem K\"ahler $3$-folds.
We show the validity of two special cases of the four-dimensional Minimal Model Program in characteristic $p>5$: for contractions to $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial fourfolds and in families over curves ("semi-stable mmp"). We also provide their mixed characteristic analogues. As a corollary, we show that liftability of positive characteristic threefolds is stable under the minimal model program, and that liftability of three-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties is a birational invariant. Our results are partially contingent upon the existence of log resolutions.
We show the validity of the Minimal Model Program for threefolds in characteristic five.
We show the validity of the relative dlt MMP over Q-factorial threefolds in all characteristics p>0. As a corollary, we generalise many recent results to low characteristics including: $W\mathcal{O}$-rationality of klt singularities, inversion of adjunction, and normality of divisorial centres up to a universal homeomorphism.
We show that there exists a natural number $p_0$ such that any three-dimensional Kawamata log terminal singularity defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>p_0$ is rational and in particular Cohen-Macaulay.
We present a simplified proof for a recent theorem by Junyan Cao and Mihai Paun, confirming a special case of Iitaka's conjecture: if $f \colon X\to Y$ is an algebraic fiber space, and if the Albanese mapping of $Y$ is generically finite over its image, then we have the inequality of Kodaira dimensions $\kappa (X)\geq \kappa (Y)+\kappa (F)$, where $F$ denotes a general fiber of $f$. We include a detailed survey of the main algebraic and analytic techniques, especially the construction of singular hermitian metrics on pushforwards of adjoint bundles (due to Berndtsson, Paun, and Takayama).
