The Main Question on birational minimal models
The Main Question on birational minimal models
Let be an algebraic variety. A variety is of semi-negatively curved or Kodaira--Iitaka type if for every curve and there is a unique morphism such that if and only if is contained in a fiber of . It is of positive fiber type if there is a unique morphism such that is semi-negatively curved and is positive on all the fibers, with .
The Main Question. Every algebraic variety is birational to a variety that is either of semi-negatively curved or Kodaira--Iitaka type, or of positive fiber type.
This is presented as the precise version of the first Main Question and as a proposed birational simplification of arbitrary varieties. The excerpt does not state whether it has been resolved.
