Vector bundles on log terminal varieties (Q4396402)

Let \(X\) be a log terminal variety and \(E\) an ample vector bundle of rank \(e\). We are interested in studying those pairs \((X,E)\) for which the adjoint \(\mathbb{Q}\)-Cartier divisor \(K_X +\text{det} E\) is not ample -- this is what is usually called generalized adjunction. Theorem. Let \(X\) be a log terminal variety of dimension \(n\) and \(E\) an ample vector bundle of \(\text{rank} e\geq \dim X\). Assume that \(K_X+ \text{det} E\) is nef but not ample. If \(e\geq n+1\) then \((X,E) \simeq (\mathbb{P}^n, {\mathcal O} (1)^{\oplus n+1})\). If \(e=n\) then \((X,E)\) is one of the following: \((\mathbb{P}^n, {\mathcal O} (1)^{\oplus n-1} \oplus {\mathcal O}(2))\), \((\mathbb{Q}^n, {\mathcal O} (1)^{\oplus n})\), where \(\mathbb{Q}^n\) is \(a\), maybe singular, hyperquadratic, \((\mathbb{P}^n, T_{\mathbb{P}^n})\), \(X\) is a smooth scroll over a smooth curve and \(E_{| F} \simeq {\mathcal O} (1)^{\oplus n}\), where \(F\simeq \mathbb{P}^{n-1}\). This theorem characterizes the pairs \((X,E)\) with \(e\geq n\); this result was conjectured first by \textit{T. Fujita} [in: Complex algebraic varieties, Proc. Conf., Bayreuth 1990, Lect. Notes Math. 1507, 105-112 (1992; Zbl 0782.14018)] and then by \textit{Q. Zhang} [Math. Ann. 307, No. 3, 505-509 (1997; Zbl 0870.14008)].
