Abstract:
Fano fibrations are natural objects that appear in the Mori program,
which aims to classify higher-dimensional algebraic varieties. Unlike
Fano varieties, Fano fibrations of a given dimension and with
restricted singularities are not bounded. Nevertheless, we show that
under some conditions, divisors on such fibrations are bounded. This
result has applications for bounding the irrationality of fibers in
del Pezzo fibrations (a del Pezzo surface is a Fano variety of
dimension 2). Also it implies boundedness for divisors on resolutions
of singularities on threefolds under some conditions. The talk is
based on a joint work with C. Birkar.
