General elephants for threefold extremal contractions with one-dimensional fibers: exceptional case

Shigefumi Mori, Yuri Prokhorov

Abstract

Let $(X, C)$ be a germ of a threefold $X$ with terminal singularities along a connected reduced complete curve $C$ with a contraction $f : (X, C) \to (Z, o)$ such that $C = f^{-1} (o)_{\mathrm{red}}$ and $-K_X$ is $f$-ample. Assume that each irreducible component of $C$ contains at most one point of index $>2$. We prove that a general member $D\in |{-}K_X|$ is a normal surface with Du Val singularities.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $(X,\, C)$ be an extremal curve germ with irreducible central curve $C$. Then a general member $D\in |{-}K_X|$ is a normal surface with Du Val singularities.
