Extending effective Cartier divisors

Take two planes $D_1 = V(x),D_2=V(y)\subset \mathbb{P}^3_{(x:y:z:t)}$ and consider the line $C=V(x,z)\subset D_1$. The equation of any hypersurface $D=V(f)$ of degree $d$ which only meets $D_2$ in the …

Is this divisorial contraction a blow-up?

This $f$ is the blowup of $C$. See qu. 22 of Kollár's Exercises in the birational geometry of algebraic varieties. A subtle point is whether you assume that $C$ is irreducible or not. If $C$ is irr …

A question on "Ample subvarieties of algebraic varieties"

I suspect that you are supposed to view the projective variety $X$ as being given with a chosen projective embedding $X\subset \mathbb P^n$, and therefore a distinguished ample divisor $\mathcal{O}_X( …

Existence of terminal $3$-fold flips

Yes - there are very many such examples, and you can cook up examples by a procedure called 'Mori's algorithm'. A k2A flipping neighbourhood is a 3-fold flipping contraction $f\colon(C\subset X)\to (P …

Definition of canonical pair

You are using the wrong equation to compute discrepancies. It should be $$ K_Y = f^*(K_X + D) + \sum a_E(X,D) E $$ where the $E$ are not all necessarily exceptional. For example if $(X,D)$ is already …
