Minimal semistable model for K3-surfaces.
I wonder if a semistalbe K3 surface over a $p$-adic field has a minimal semistable model. I guess yes but I do not find any reference.
Also, if we have a semistable K3 surface wi …

Is there an Enriques–Kodaira-like classification of Fano threefolds?
I am mainly interested in varieties over an algebraic closed field $k$ (or $\mathbb{C}$). The classification of complex surface is established in the last century and known as Enri …

Are conical symplectic resolutions Mori dream spaces?
This is one of these questions where it's tempting to just leave it at the title, but let me try to define the objects in question.
A conical symplectic resolution is a projective …

Why are the different definitions of minimal model equivalent?
I'm starting to learn the minimal model program. It seems there are two definitions for a variety $X$
with only terminal singularities to be minimal.
$K_X$ is nef.
Every biratio …
