Algebraic bounds on analytic multiplier ideals

Given a pseudo-effective divisor L we construct the diminished ideal of L, a "continuous" extension of the asymptotic multiplier ideal for big divisors to the pseudo-effective boundary. For most pseudo-effective divisors L the multiplier ideal of the metric of minimal singularities of L is contained in the diminished ideal. We also characterize abundant divisors using the diminished ideal, indicating that in this case the geometric and analytic information should coincide.Comment: 27 pages; v3: corrected several mistake

On Eckl's pseudo-effective reduction map

Suppose that X is a complex projective variety and L is a pseudo-effective divisor. A numerical reduction map is a quotient of X by all subvarieties along which L is numerically trivial. We construct two variants: the L-trivial reduction map and the pseudo-effective reduction map of [Eckl05]. We show that these maps capture interesting geometric properties of L and use them to analyze abundant divisors.Comment: 26 pages, v3: small revisions in introductio

Convexity and Zariski decomposition structure

This is the first part of our work on Zariski decomposition structures, where we study Zariski decompositions using Legendre-Fenchel type transforms. In this way we define a Zariski decomposition for curve classes. This decomposition enables us to develop the theory of the volume function for curves defined by the second named author, yielding some fundamental positivity results for curve classes. For varieties with special structures, the Zariski decomposition for curve classes admits an interesting geometric interpretation.Comment: 38 pages; revised half of the previous arXiv:1507.04316 [math.AG
