Variation of cones of divisors in a family of varieties -- Fano type case
Sung Rak Choi, Zhan Li, Chuyu Zhou
TL;DR
This paper analyzes how cones of divisors in a family of varieties behave when fibers are Fano type on a dense set. After suitable base changes and shrinking, it proves deformation invariance for the Néron-Severi space and for the effective, nef, and movable cones, as well as the Mori chamber decomposition, and shows that the minimal model program behaves uniformly across fibers. These deformation results yield a partial answer to whether fiberwise Fano type persists globally in families and enable a boundedness statement for birational contraction models of Fano type varieties. The findings provide a framework connecting fiberwise geometry to global moduli questions and extend to corollaries for Mori dream spaces and complements in the Fano type setting.
Abstract
We investigate the relationship between the Fano type property on fibers over a Zariski dense subset and the global Fano type property. We establish the invariance of Néron-Severi spaces, nef cones, effective cones, movable cones, and Mori chamber decompositions for a family of Fano type varieties after a generically finite base change. Additionally, we show the uniform behavior of the minimal model program for this family. These results are applied to the boundedness problem of Fano type varieties.
