The negative-part contraction conjecture for lifted flip MMPs
The negative-part contraction conjecture for lifted flip MMPs
Let be a projective -factorial NQC dlt generalised pair such that is pseudoeffective. Consider a sequence of flips in a -MMP:
Consider a diagram with birational morphisms and induced maps on top:
Let be a component of which is a log canonical centre of . The negative-part contraction conjecture. The MMP on top of the above diagram contracts .
This is presented as an equivalent formulation of the preceding conjecture when the MMPs consist only of flips, linking termination behaviour to the Nakayama--Zariski decomposition. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source context.
