Weak transcendental base-point freeness and diameter lower bounds for the Kähler-Ricci flow

Junsheng Zhang

TL;DR

This work addresses diameter lower bounds along the Kähler–Ricci flow for non-Fano initial data by proving a weaker transcendental base-point freeness result. The authors develop a robust relative MMP framework for projective morphisms of compact Kähler spaces and establish pushforward/nef-pseudo-effective behavior of adjoint classes under extremal contractions and Mori–Fano fibrations, including generalized klt pairs. A central contribution is a weak base-point-freeness theorem that connects the adjoint class $K_X+\alpha$ to a fibration structure with a base whose dimension equals the numerical dimension $\mathrm{nd}(K_X+\alpha)$, with extensions to generalized pairs and nd$\le$3 cases. Finally, a generalized Schwarz lemma is proved and used in tandem with the base-point-freeness results to obtain a diameter lower bound for the Kähler–Ricci flow at the singular time, revealing a precise dichotomy between Fano and non-Fano behavior in finite-time extinction scenarios.

Abstract

We prove a weaker version of the transcendental base-point freeness on compact Kähler manifolds. As a consequence, we derive the diameter lower bound for finite time singularities of Kähler-Ricci flow with non-Fano initial data.
