Is there any relation between the pushforward of a divisor and the pushforward of its line bundle?
Given a morphism between normal varieties $f: X \to Y$, we can push forward a Cartier divisor $D$ to get a cycle $f_* D$. On the other hand, we can form the line bundle $\mathscr{L}(D)$ and push that ...

Anti-canonical divisorial contractions of weak Fano $3$-folds
Let $X$ be a smooth weak Fano but not Fano $3$-fold ($-K_X$ is nef and big but not ample). Then the anti-canonical morphism $\phi:X\rightarrow W$ (the morphsim induced by the linear system $|-mK_X|$ ...

In search for examples concerning pushforward of nef divisors and lc-trivial fibrations
My question is motivated by ideas around the moduli b-divisor of an lc-trivial fibration (see for instance the following paper by Ambro https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0308143.pdf).
In such a setup, one ...

Big divisors in family
Given a family of divisors $D_t$ on varieties $X_t$, there are examples that show that bigness is not well behaved (e.g. example 2.2.13 in Positivity 1, shows we can have a special fiber where $D_0$ ...

Rigid effective divisors
Let $D\subset X$ be an effective smooth divisor in a smooth projective variety $X$. Assume that $h^0(X,D)=1$. In particular $D$ spans an extremal ray of the effective cone of $X$.
Now, let $f:X\...
