scholarly journals The Dual Complex of a Semi-log Canonical Surface

Abstract Semi-log canonical varieties are a higher-dimensional analogue of stable curves. They are the varieties appearing as the boundary $\Delta $ of a log canonical pair $(X,\Delta )$ and also appear as limits of canonically polarized varieties in moduli theory. For certain three-fold pairs $(X,\Delta ),$ we show how to compute the PL homeomorphism type of the dual complex of a dlt minimal model directly from the normalization data of $\Delta $.

AbstractWe continue our study of the relation between log minimal models and various types of Zariski decompositions. Let (X,B) be a projective log canonical pair. We will show that (X,B) has a log minimal model if either KX + B birationally has a Nakayama–Zariski decomposition with nef positive part, or if KX +B is big and birationally has a Fujita–Zariski or Cutkosky–Kawamata–Moriwaki–Zariski decomposition. Along the way we introduce polarized pairs (X,B +P), where (X,B) is a usual projective pair and where P is nef, and we study the birational geometry of such pairs.

AbstractLet $(X,B)$ be a projective log canonical pair such that $B$ is a $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor, and that there is a surjective morphism $f: X\to Z$ onto a normal variety $Z$ satisfying $K_X+B\sim _{\mathbb{Q}} f^*M$ for some big $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $M$, and the augmented base locus ${\mathbf{B}}_+(M)$ does not contain the image of any log canonical centre of $(X,B)$. We will show that $(X,B)$ has a good log minimal model. An interesting special case is when $f$ is the identity morphism.

We study a useful numerical invariant of normal surface singularities, introduced recently by T. Kawachi. Using this invariant, we give a quick proof of the (well-known) fact that all log-canonical surface singularities are either elliptic Gorenstein or rational (without assuming a priori that they are ℚ-Gorenstein). In Sec. 2 we prove effective results (stated in terms of Kawachi's invariant) regarding global generation of adjoint linear systems on normal surfaces with boundary. Such results can be used in proving effective estimates for global generation on singular threefolds. The theorem of Ein–Lazarsfeld and Kawamata, which says that the minimal center of log-canonical singularities is always normal, explains why the results proved here are relevant in that situation.

AbstractWe prove that the moduli spaces of n-pointed m-stable curves introduced in our previous paper have projective coarse moduli. We use the resulting spaces to run an analogue of Hassett’s log minimal model program for $\overline {M}_{1,n}$.

AbstractWe show that some of the properties of log canonical centres of a log canonical pair also hold for certain subvarieties that are close to being a log canonical centre. As a consequence, we obtain that, in working with deformations of pairs where all the coefficients of the boundary divisor are bigger than ½, embedded points never appear on the boundary divisor.

We develop some foundational results in a higher-dimensional foliated Mori theory, and show how these results can be used to prove a structure theorem for the Kleiman–Mori cone of curves in terms of the numerical properties of $K_{{\mathcal{F}}}$ for rank 2 foliations on threefolds. We also make progress toward realizing a minimal model program (MMP) for rank 2 foliations on threefolds.

AbstractWe discuss the birational geometry of singular surfaces in positive characteristic. More precisely, we establish the minimal model program and the abundance theorem for ℚ-factorial surfaces and for log canonical surfaces. Moreover, in the case where the base field is the algebraic closure of a finite field, we obtain the same results under much weaker assumptions.
