The BAB conjecture for log Fano varieties

Fix an algebraically closed field kk, an integer d>0d>0, and a rational number ε>0\varepsilon>0. Let XX be a dd-dimensional normal projective variety over kk, and let BB be a Q\mathbb{Q}-divisor on XX. The minimal log discrepancy of (X,B)(X,B) is denoted by mld(X,B)\operatorname{mld}(X,B). BAB conjecture. The varieties XX such that

(KX+B) is nef and big-(K_X+B)\text{ is nef and big}

for some BB and

mld(X,B)>ε\operatorname{mld}(X,B)>\varepsilon

form a bounded family. This is the boundedness conjecture for varieties of bounded dimension with log Fano-type positivity and a uniform lower bound on minimal log discrepancies; the paper gives a partial affirmative answer for weak Fano threefolds in characteristic p>5p>5 under additional hypotheses.
