On twisted Kawamata's semi-positivity and finite generation of generalized canonical rings

TL;DR
The paper proves a twisted version of Kawamata's semi-positivity for fibrations, incorporating a nef ${\mathbb Q}$-line bundle with a semi-positive metric and vanishing Lelong numbers, and a ${\mathbb Q}$-divisor with carefully controlled coefficients. It defines and analyzes the discriminant and moduli parts on the base via a toroidal, well-prepared setup, showing the moduli part $M_Y$ is nef through a relative Bergman kernel construction. These analytic and algebro-geometric ingredients yield finite generation results for generalized canonical rings of Birkar's generalized pairs, using Iitaka fibrations and birational reductions together with BCHM-type arguments. The work also clarifies how the generalized setting differs from the classical one and provides concrete corollaries for anti-canonical rings and low-dimensional cases, highlighting the role of zero Lelong number metrics in establishing positivity and finite generation.
Abstract
We give a twisted version of the Kawamata semi-positivity theorem by the $\mathbb{Q}$-line bundle with a vanishing Lelong number at every point. Moreover, we apply the result to the finite generation problem for canonical rings of Birkar's generalized pairs.
