Semi-stable extensions over 1-dimensional bases (Q1698324): Difference between revisions

The authors show that, after a finite base change, any family of Calabi-Yau varieties over the punctured disc or over the field of Laurent series, can be exended across the origin in such a way that the canonical class is trivial and the special fiber has mild singularities. They also prove a similar extension results for families (with mild singularities) whose log-canonical class is semi-ample and use this result to to show that the Berkovich and essential skeleta agree for smooth varieties over \(\mathbb C((t))\) with semi-ample canonical class.
