We establish a relative spannedness for log canonical pairs, which is a generalization of the basepoint-freeness for varieties with log-terminal singularities by Andreatta--Wisniewski. Moreover, we establish a generalization for quasi-log canonical pairs.
The nonvanishing conjecture for projective log canonical pairs plays a key role in the minimal model program of higher dimensional algebraic geometry. The numerical nonvanishing conjecture considered in this paper is a weaker version of the usual nonvanishing conjecture, but valid in the more general setting of generalized log canonical pairs. We confirm it in dimension two. Under some necessary conditions we obtain effecti
John Lesieutre constructed an example satisfying $kappa_sigma e kappa_ u$. This says that the proof of the inequalities in Theorems 1.3, 1.9, and Remark 3.8 in [O. Fujino, On subadditivity of the logarithmic Kodaira dimension, J. Math. Soc. Japan 69 (2017), no. 4, 1565--1581] is insufficient. We claim that some weaker inequalities still hold true and they are sufficient for various applications.
Using inversion of adjunction, we deduce from Nadels theorem a vanishing property for ideals sheaves on projective varieties, a special case of which recovers a result due to Bertram--Ein--Lazarsfeld. This enables us to generalize to a large class of projective schemes certain bounds on Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity previously obtained by Bertram--Ein--Lazarsfeld in the smooth case and by Chardin--Ulrich for locally complete intersection varieties with rational singularities. Our results are tested on several examples.
