A footnote to a theorem of Kawamata
Margarida Mendes Lopes, Rita Pardini, Sofia Tirabassi
Abstract
Kawamata has shown that the quasi-Albanese map of a quasi-projective variety with log-irregularity equal to the dimension and log-Kodaira dimension 0 is birational. In this note we show that under these hypotheses the quasi-Albanese map is proper in codimension 1 as conjectured by Iitaka.
