TL;DR
This work proves the ampleness conjecture for strictly nef divisors on K-trivial fourfolds by combining non-vanishing and abundance arguments tailored to the $K_X\sim0$, $h^1(O_X)=0$ setting. It develops a robust framework, including almost strictly nef divisors, a specialized Hirzebruch–Riemann–Roch formula, and the study of prime Calabi–Yau divisors, to push through a dimension-four inductive strategy. The key results show that strictly nef $\mathbb{Q}$-Cartier divisors with nonnegative Iitaka dimension are actually ample, with a detailed treatment of the case where the numerical dimension is $3$ and a careful analytic approach for lower numerical dimensions. The findings advance understanding of Serrano-type conjectures in the K-trivial context and connect to log versions and abundance phenomena, offering structural constraints on the pseudoeffective and movable cones in these geometries.
Abstract
In this paper, we prove the ampleness conjecture and Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on K-trivial fourfolds. Specifically, we show that any strictly nef divisors on projective fourfolds with trivial canonical bundle and vanishing irregularity are ample.
