Abstract

I will survey some recent progress towards the minimal model program for foliations. In particular, assuming termination of (classical) flips in dimension r, we show that flips exist for any algebraically integrable foliation of rank r with log canonical singularities. Joint work with C. Spicer.

Minimal model program for generalised pairs
Abstract Generalised pairs are a natural structure in birational geometry that first appeared in Kodaira’s canonical bundle formula for elliptic fibrations. They were formally introduced by Birkar and Zhang in 2014 as part of their study of effective Iitaka fibrations and have since become a central topic in modern-day birational geometry. In particular, they have been essential in Birkar proo...

Recent developments in the minimal model program for Kähler varieties
AbstractThere are two main obstacles in extending the Minimal Model Program (MMP) for Kahler varieties: (i) given a compact Kahler manifold X, if the canonical bundle K_X is not nef, then does there exist a rational curve C\subset of X such that K_X\cdot C
