The Mori MMP termination and Mori fibre space conjecture

Let (Z,Φ)(Z,\Phi) be a Kawamata log terminal pair. Run the (KZ+Φ)(K_Z+\Phi)-minimal model program via a birational map f ⁣:ZXf\colon Z\dashrightarrow X, and write Δ=fΦ\Delta=f_*\Phi. Mori MMP conjecture. The program can be run so that either (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) is a log terminal model, meaning that KX+ΔK_X+\Delta is nef, or XX admits a Mori fibre space ϕ ⁣:XS\phi\colon X\to S with ρ(X/S)=1\rho(X/S)=1 and (KX+Δ)-(K_X+\Delta) ϕ\phi-ample. The conjecture concerns the general case of the minimal model program; the cited results establish finiteness of log terminal models when either Φ\Phi or KZ+ΦK_Z+\Phi is big, while the remaining pseudo-effective case is described as unknown.
