Examples

Geometry Search for the term Geometry in any field. Queries are case-independent.

Funct* Wildcard queries are specified by * (e.g. functions, functorial, etc.). Otherwise the search is exact.

"Topological group" Phrases (multi-words) should be set in "straight quotation marks".

au:Bourbaki & ti:Algebra Search for author Bourbaki and title Algebra. The and-operator & is default and can be omitted.

Chebyshev | Tschebyscheff The or-operator | allows to search for Chebyshev or Tschebyscheff.

Quasi* map* py:1989 The resulting documents have publication year 1989.

so:Eur* J* Mat* Soc* cc:14 Search for publications in a particular source with a Mathematics Subject Classification code in 14.

cc:*35 ! any:elliptic Search for documents about PDEs (prefix with * to search only primary MSC); the not-operator ! eliminates all results containing the word elliptic.

dt:b & au:Hilbert The document type is set to books; alternatively: j for journal articles, a for book articles.

py:2000-2015 cc:(94A | 11T) Number ranges when searching for publication year are accepted. Terms can be grouped within ( parentheses ).

la:chinese Find documents in a given language. ISO 639-1 (opens in new tab) language codes can also be used.

st:c r o Find documents that are cited, have references and have an open version.

Flips, flops, minimal models, etc. (English) Zbl 0755.14003

Proc. Conf., Cambridge/MA (USA) 1990, Surv. Differ. Geom., Suppl. J. Diff. Geom. 1, 113-199 (1991).

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0743.00018.]
There exist already some survey articles on the program [e.g. Y. Kawamata, K. Matsuda and K. Matsuki in Algebraic geometry, Proc. Symp., Sendai/Jap. 1985, Adv. Stud. Pure Math. 10, 283–360 (1987; Zbl 0672.14006) or the author, Bull. Am. Math. Soc., New Ser. 17, 211–273 (1987; Zbl 0649.14022)], but this paper does not reproduce them. Only in the first chapters the author presents the main results in Mori’s program mostly without proofs. Then he studies in more detail flips and flops. There are “surgery type” operations changing a threefold only in codimension two and showing the difference to the classification theory of surfaces. After discussing several applications of the minimal model program in dimension three he tries to answer the question how to find extremal rays. For that purpose he introduces “seemingly extremal rays” which seem to be the correct generalization of the notion of extremal rays for nonprojective threefolds.
At several places in the whole paper and especially in \(\S5\) he investigates nonprojective (but compact Moishezon) threefolds with the techniques of Mori’s program. For example he proves that a Moishezon threefold being homeomorphic to \(\mathbb P^ 3\) is actually isomorphic to it. In the final chapter he shows that classification theory in dimension three is closely related to the theory of deformations of singularities. The article is nicely to be read thanks to many examples illustrating the notions introduced and the difficulties appearing. Various conjectures and open problems related to minimal are presented.
