A theorem about log Calabi-Yau pairs

Let $X$ be a normal variety with $\mathbb Q$-Cartier divisor $D$, such that $K_X+D$ is $\mathbb Q$-Cartier. Let $(X,D)$ is log Calabi-Yau pair, i.e, $K_X+D\sim_\mathbb Q0$. (For example take $ X$ be a ...

A Decomposition for Iitaka fibration

Let $\pi: X\to Y$ be an Iitaka fibration of projective varieties $X,Y$, then is there always the following decomposition $$K_Y+\frac{1}{m!}\pi_*\mathcal O_X(m!K_{X/Y})=P+N$$ where $P$ is ...

Restriction of the Canonical Divisor $K_X$ to a general fiber

Let $\ f:X\to Z$ be a surjective morphism between two smooth projective varieties with connected fibers $(f_*\mathcal{O}_X=\mathcal{O}_X)$. Let $F$ be a general fiber of $f$ and $\mbox{dim } F<(\...

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 birational morphism from $X$ ...

Finite generation of certain $\mathcal{O}_X$-algebra

It is proved in this paper by Kawamata (Theorem 6.1) that for a 3-dimensional normal algebraic variety $X$ which has at most canonical singularities, and a Weil divisor $D$ on it, the $\mathcal{O}_X$-...

A question about running MMP with scaling

Let $\pi:X \to U$ be a projective morphism, and $(X, \Delta = A + B)$ be a KLT pair, where $A$ is a general ample divisor and $B$ is effective. Suppose $K_X + \Delta$ is not nef (over $U$) and there ...

Decompose a big divisor as nef big divisor and effective divisor

Let $W_n$ be a set of a log pair having the following property: For any $(X, D) \in W_n$ (1)$X$ has dimensional $n$ with tirvial canonical divisor (i.e.$K_X = 0$). Moreover, $X$ is a $\mathbb{Q}$-...

Is the number of minimal models finite

Let $X$ be a variety of general type. Assume that $\dim X = 3$. In https://eudml.org/doc/164223 it is proven that $X$ has only finitely many minimal models (i.e., only $\mathbb Q$-factorial terminal ...

On Non F-pure ideal and Sharp F-Purity for a pair $(X, \Delta)$ where $K_X+\Delta$ is NOT $\mathbb{Q}$-Cartier

Suppose $(X,\Delta\ge 0)$ is a pair such that $(p^g-1)(K_X+\Delta)$ is an Integral Weil Divisor for some $g>0$ and $X$ is a normal variety. Define $\mathcal{L}_{e,\Delta} = \mathcal{O}_X( (1-p^g)(...
