The log abundance conjecture for log canonical pairs

Let (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) be a log pair, with XX normal and Δ\Delta an effective formal Q\mathbb{Q}-linear combination of prime divisors. The pair is log canonical if all discrepancies are at least 1-1; a divisor is semi-ample if some positive multiple is base-point-free. The log abundance conjecture. If (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) is log canonical and Δ\Delta is effective, then KX+ΔK_X+\Delta is nef if and only if it is semi-ample.

The paper discusses abundance for pairs on blow-ups of projective space and says it proves the relevant abundance statement for the constructed family, while the general conjecture is a central question of the minimal model program.
