A General Non-Vanishing Theorem and an Analytic Proof of the Finite Generation of the Canonical Ring
Abstract
Description
On August 5, 2005 in the American Mathematical Society Summer Institute on Algebraic Geometry in Seattle and later in several conferences I gave lectures on my analytic proof of the finite generation of the canonical ring for the case of general type. After my lectures many people asked me for a copy of the slides which I used for my lectures. Since my slides were quite sketchy because of the time limitation for the lectures, I promised to post later on a preprint server my detailed notes from which my slides were extracted. Here are my detailed notes giving the techniques and the proof.
