Abundance Conjecture

In algebraic geometry, the abundance conjecture is a conjecture in birational geometry, more precisely in the minimal model program, stating that for every projective variety [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] with Kawamata log terminal singularities over a field [math]\displaystyle{ k }[/math] if the canonical bundle [math]\displaystyle{ K_X }[/math] is nef, then [math]\displaystyle{ K_X }[/math] is semi-ample.

Important cases of the abundance conjecture have been proven by Caucher Birkar.^[1]
