Our arguments involve many ideas from Y.-T. Siu's analytic proof of the finite generation of the canonical ring. An important technical tool is the notion of relative critical exponent of two closed positive currents with respect to a measure.No figuresComplex VariablesAlgebraic GeometryRelative critical exponents, non-vanishing and metrics with minimal singularitiestext
