On finiteness of fiber space structures of klt Calabi-Yau pairs in dimension 3

TL;DR
The paper addresses finiteness of fiber space structures for a fixed 3‑dimensional klt Calabi–Yau pair $(X,\Delta)$ by embedding the problem in the cone conjecture framework and boundedness theory. It develops a comprehensive machinery: index‑1 covers, polyhedral cone criteria, VHS/period maps, and boundedness results for curve fibrations, all culminating in an extraction theorem that enables product splittings over a finite base change. The main contributions are (i) proving the cone conjecture in several 3‑fold CY‑klt cases, (ii) establishing boundedness and marked‑curve fibrations for strict terminal $\mathbb{Q}$‑factorial CY 3‑folds, and (iii) deducing finiteness of all fiber space structures up to $Aut(X,\Delta)$, including handling the non‑strict case via quotient and covering arguments. Together, these results extend the cone conjecture toolkit to singular CY varieties in dimension 3 and provide a robust pathway to finiteness statements with potential implications for mirror symmetry and birational geometry.
Abstract
We prove that for a fixed klt Calabi-Yau pair $(X,Δ)$ of dimension $3$, the set of fiber space structures of $X$ is finite up to $Aut(X,Δ)$.
