We introduce and study the class of primitive Enriques varieties, whose smooth members are Enriques manifolds. We provide several examples and we demonstrate that this class is stable under the operations of the Minimal Model Program (MMP). In particular, given an Enriques manifold $Y$ and an effective $\mathbb{R}$-divisor $B_Y$ on $Y$ such that the pair $(Y,B_Y)$ is log canonical, we prove that any $(K_Y+B_Y)$-MMP terminates with a minimal model $(Y',B_{Y'})$ of $(Y,B_Y)$, where $Y'$ is a $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial primitive Enriques variety with canonical singularities. Finally, we investigate the asymptotic theory of Enriques manifolds., Comment: v2: minor changes

For every $d \geq 4$, we construct a $d$-dimensional, log canonical, $K$-trivial variety with the property that two general fibers of its Albanese morphism are not birational. This provides a strong counterexample to the Beauville--Bogomolov decomposition in the log canonical setting. This construction can also be adapted to construct a smooth quasi-projective variety of logarithmic Kodaira dimension 0 whose quasi-Albanese morphism has maximal variation. On the positive side, we show that the Albanese morphism for log canonical pairs with nef anti-canonical class is a locally stable family of pairs., Comment: 22 pages, title changed and minor changes. comments are still welcome

We prove that the asymptotic base loci of an NQC klt generalized pair with big canonical class are uniruled. We also show that the non-nef locus and the diminished base locus of the adjoint divisor of an NQC log canonical generalized pair coincide. As applications, we study the uniruledness of the asymptotic base loci associated with pseudo-effective divisors on generalized log Calabi-Yau type varieties., Comment: v2: minor changes, following the referee's comments; to appear in Michigan Math.

Given an NQC log canonical generalized pair $(X,B+M)$ whose underlying variety $X$ is not necessarily $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial, we show that one may run a $(K_X+B+M)$-MMP with scaling of an ample divisor which terminates, provided that $(X,B+M)$ has a minimal model in a weaker sense or that $K_X+B+M$ is not pseudo-effective. We also prove the existence of minimal models of pseudo-effective NQC log canonical generalized pairs under various additional assumptions, for instance, when the boundary contains an ample divisor., Comment: v3: minor changes, following the referee's comments; to appear in Math.

We prove that if $(X,\Delta)$ is a threefold pair with mild singularities such that ${-}(K_X+\Delta)$ is nef, then the numerical class of ${-}(K_X+\Delta)$ is effective., Comment: v4: minor changes; to appear in Doc. Math

We show that minimal models of $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial NQC log canonical generalised pairs exist, assuming the existence of minimal models of smooth varieties. More generally, we prove that on a $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial NQC log canonical generalised pair $ (X,B+M) $ we can run an MMP with scaling of an ample divisor which terminates, assuming that it admits an NQC weak Zariski decomposition or that $K_X+B+M$ is not pseudoeffective. As a consequence, we establish several existence results for minimal models and Mori fibre spaces., Comment: v5: minor changes in the appendix; to appear in Sel. Math. New Ser

We prove the termination of flips for 4-dimensional pseudo-effective NQC log canonical generalized pairs. As main ingredients, we verify the termination of flips for 3-dimensional NQC log canonical generalized pairs, and show that the termination of flips for pseudo-effective NQC log canonical generalized pairs which admit NQC weak Zariski decompositions follows from the termination of flips in lower dimensions., Comment: v2: minor modifications; exposition slightly changed, following the referees' comments; to appear in Acta Math.
