On projective varieties with nef anticanonical divisors (Q2484093)

The author proves a structure theorem for projective varieties with nef anti-canonical divisors. Namely, let \(X\) be a projective variety and \(D\) an effective \(\mathbb Q\)-divisor on \(X\) such that the pair \((X,D)\) is log canonical and \(-(K_{X}+D)\) is nef. Let \(f:X\to Y\) be a dominant rational map, where \(Y\) is a smooth variety. Then either (1) \(Y\) is uniruled; or (2) the Kodaira dimension \(\kappa(Y)=0\). Moreover in this case, \(f\) is semistable in codimension \(1\). The tools the author uses in the proof of the theorem are the theory of weak (semi) positivity of the direct images of (log) relative dualizing sheaves, the notion of the divisorial Zariski decomposition, and some results in [\textit{S. Boucksom, J. Demailly, M. Paun} and \textit{T. Peternell}, ``The pseudo-effective cone of a compact Kähler manifold and varieties of negative Kodaira dimension'', preprint, \url{arXiv:math/0405285}]. As applications of this theorem, the author obtains some corollaries.
