The finite generation conjecture for log canonical rings

Let XX be an nn-dimensional smooth projective variety and let BB be a boundary Q\mathbb Q-divisor whose support is a simple normal crossing divisor on XX. Assume that KX+BK_X+B is big. Finite generation conjecture. The log canonical ring

R(X,KX+B)=m0H0(X,OX(m(KX+B)))R(X,K_X+B)=\bigoplus_{m\geq 0}H^0\left(X,\mathcal O_X(\lfloor m(K_X+B)\rfloor)\right)

is a finitely generated C\mathbb C-algebra. This finite generation statement is stronger than flip existence and implies the relative finite generation needed in the log minimal model program. The source notes that it is known when a suitable klt Q\mathbb Q-divisor exists, while the general conjecture is not established there.
