Metrics with minimal singularities and the Abundance conjecture
Vladimir Lazić
Abstract
The Abundance conjecture predicts that on a minimal projective klt pair $(X,Δ)$, the adjoint divisor $K_X+Δ$ is semiample. When $χ(X,\mathcal O_X)\neq0$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the conjecture to hold in terms of the asymptotic behaviour of multiplier ideals of currents with minimal singularities of small twists of $K_X+Δ$. Furthermore, we prove fundamental structural properties as well as regularity and weak convergence behaviour of an important class of currents with minimal singularities: the supercanonical currents. The results of the paper indicate strongly that supercanonical currents are central to the completion of the proof of the Abundance conjecture for minimal klt pairs $(X,Δ)$ with $χ(X,\mathcal O_X)\neq0$.
