In this paper, we give a valuation formula for rational top differential forms of function fields in characteristic zero for arbitrary Abhyankar places generalizing the classical valuation at prime divisors. This enables us to define log discrepancies for log pairs for arbitrary Abhyankar places. If the Abhyankar place has dimension greater than zero we restrict rational top differential forms with valuation zero to the residue field of the Abhyankar place, generalizing the classical restriction of a top differential form with a simple pole along a smooth divisor. This opens up the door to generalize the classical adjunction machinery to arbitrary Abhyankar places.

One of the main purposes of this paper is to make the theory of quasi-log schemes more flexible and more useful. More precisely, we prove that the pull-back of a quasi-log scheme by a smooth quasi-projective morphism has a natural quasi-log structure after clarifying the definition of quasi-log schemes. We treat some applications to singular Fano varieties. This paper also contains a proof of the simple connectedness of log canonical Fano varieties.

We formulate and establish a generalization of Koll\'ar's injectivity theorem for adjoint bundles twisted by suitable multiplier ideal sheaves. As applications, we generalize Koll\'ar's torsion-freeness, Koll\'ar's vanishing theorem, and a generic vanishing theorem for pseudo-effective line bundles. Our approach is not Hodge theoretic but analytic, which enables us to treat singular Hermitian metrics with nonalgebraic singularities. For the proof of the main injectivity theorem, we use L2L^{2}-harmonic forms on noncompact K\"ahler manifolds. For applications, we prove a Bertini-type theorem on the restriction of multiplier ideal sheaves to general members of free linear systems.

The notion of quasi-log schemes was first introduced by Florin Ambro in his epoch-making paper: Quasi-log varieties. In this paper, we establish the basepoint-free theorem of Reid--Fukuda type for quasi-log schemes in full generality. Roughly speaking, it means that all the results for quasi-log schemes claimed in Ambro's paper hold true. The proof is Kawamata's X-method with the aid of the theory of basic slc-trivial fibrations. For the reader's convenience, we make many comments on the theory of quasi-log schemes in order to make it more accessible.

We discuss the cone theorem for quasi-log schemes and the Mori hyperbolicity. In particular, we establish that the log canonical divisor of a Mori hyperbolic projective normal pair is nef if it is nef when restricted to the non-lc locus. This answers Svaldi's question completely. We also treat the uniruledness of the degenerate locus of an extremal contraction morphism for quasi-log schemes. Furthermore, we prove that every fiber of a relative quasi-log Fano scheme is rationally chain connected modulo the non-qlc locus.

We formulate and establish a generalization of Koll'ar's injectivity theorem for adjoint bundles twisted by a suitable multiplier ideal sheaf. As applications, we generalize Koll'ar's vanishing theorem, Koll'ar's torsion-freeness, generic vanishing theorem, and so on, for pseudo-effective line bundles. Our approach is not Hodge theoretic but is analytic since we treat singular hermitian metrics with arbitrary singularities. For the proof of the main injectivity theorem, we use the theory of harmonic integrals on noncompact K"ahler manifolds. For applications, we prove a Bertini-type theorem on the restriction of multiplier ideal sheaves to general members of free linear systems, which seems to be of independent interest.

We prove some injectivity, torsion-free, and vanishing theorems for simple normal crossing pairs. Our results heavily depend on the theory of mixed Hodge structures on compact support cohomology groups. We also treat several basic properties of semi divisorial log terminal pairs.

We prove that the target space of an extremal Fano contraction from a log canonical pair has only log canonical singularities. We also treat some related topics, for example, the finite generation of canonical rings for compact Kähler manifolds, and so on. The main ingredient of this paper is the nefness of the moduli parts of lc-trivial fibrations. We also give some observations on the semi-ampleness of the moduli parts of lc-trivial fibrations. For the reader's convenience, we discuss some examples of non-Kahler manifolds, flopping contractions, and so on, in order to clarify our results.

Kollár's effective base point free theorem for kawamata log terminal pairs is very important and was used in Hacon-McKernan's proof of pl flips. In this paper, we generalize Kollár's theorem for log canonical pairs.

We give a short and almost self-contained proof of generalizations of Kollár’s vanishing and torsion-free theorems. Although they are contained in Ambro's much more general results on embedded normal crossing pairs, we give an alternate and direct reduction argument to the mixed Hodge theory. In this sense, this paper gives a more readable account of the application to the log minimal model program for log canonical pairs.

We discuss the variations of mixed Hodge structure for cohomology with compact support of quasi-projective simple normal crossing pairs. We show that they are graded polarizable admissible variations of mixed Hodge structure. Then we prove a generalization of the Fujita--Kawamata semi-positivity theorem.

We prove that the anti-canonical divisors of weak Fano 3-folds with log canonical singularities are semiample. Moreover, we consider semiampleness of the anti-log canonical divisor of any weak log Fano pair with log canonical singularities. We show semiampleness dose not hold in general by constructing several examples. Based on those examples, we propose sufficient conditions which seem to be the best possible and we prove semiampleness under such conditions. In particular we derive semiampleness of the anti-canonical divisors of log canonical weak Fano 4-folds whose lc centers are at most 1-dimensional. We also investigate the Kleiman-Mori cones of weak log Fano pairs with log canonical singularities. Comment: 18 pages, v2:some errors were corrected, title has been changed

We treat Kollár's injectivity theorem from the analytic (or differential geometric) viewpoint. More precisely, we give a curvature condition which implies Kolla ́r type cohomology injectivity theorems. Our main theorem is formulated for a compact Kähler manifold, but the proof uses the space of harmonic forms on a Zariski open set with a suitable complete Kähler metric. We need neither covering tricks, desingularizations, nor Leray's spectral sequence. © Osaka University and Osaka City University, Departments of Mathematics.

The theory of Mixed Hodge Structures (M.H.S.) on the cohomology of an algebraic variety X over complex numbers was found by Deligne in 1970. The case when A" is a Normal Crossing Divisor is fundamental. When the variety X is embedded in a smooth ambient space we get the Mixed Hodge Structure using standard exact sequences in topology. This technique uses resolution of singularities one time for a complete variety and 2 times for a quasi-projective one. As applications to the study of local cohomology we give the spectral sequence to the Mixed Hodge Structure on cohomology with support on a subspace Y.

In this paper, we investigate higher direct images of log canonical divisors. After we reformulate Koll'ar's torsion-free theorem, we treat the relationship between higher direct images of log canonical divisors and the canonical extensions of Hodge filtration of gradedly polarized variations of mixed Hodge structures. As a corollary, we obtain a logarithmic version of Fujita-Kawamata's semi-positivity theorem. By this semi-positivity theorem, we generalize Kawamata's positivity theorem and apply it to the study of a log canonical bundle formula. The final section is an appendix, which is a result of Morihiko Saito.

We treat two different topics on the log minimal model program, especially for four-dimensional log canonical pairs. (a) Finite generation of the log canonical ring in dimension four. (b) Abundance theorem for irregular fourfolds. We obtain (a) as a direct consequence of the existence of four-dimensional log minimal models by using Fukuda's theorem on the four-dimensional log abundance conjecture. We can prove (b) only by using traditional arguments. More precisely, we prove the abundance conjecture for irregular (n+1)-folds on the assumption that the minimal model conjecture and the abundance conjecture hold in dimension n\leq n.
