Complex geometry seminar

In this talk, I will present recent joint work with S.~Matsumura, J.~Wang, and X.~Wu on the structure of compact Kähler manifolds whose anti-canonical bundle is nef. We establish a general structure theorem in the Kähler setting, showing that X admits a locally trivial fibration whose fibers are rationally connected and whose base has vanishing first Chern class. Our approach extends the method of Cao–Höring from the projective to the Kähler case, requiring new tools such as a flatness criterion for pseudo-effective sheaves and a refined analysis of direct image sheaves equipped with singular Hermitian metrics. I will also discuss the application, about the generalization of the Beauville–Bogomolov decomposition.

Mori dream spaces are a special kind of varieties introduced by Hu and Keel in 2000 that enjoy very good properties with respect to the minimal model program. In this talk we explore when blowups of P^3 along smooth curves are Mori dream spaces, generalizing an early example of A. Küronya.  This is joint work with Sokratis Zikas.
