Log canonical pairs with boundaries containing ample divisors

Abstract

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a projective log canonical pair such that $\Delta \geq A$ where $A \geq 0$ is an ample $\mathbb{R}$-divisor. We prove that either $(X,\Delta)$ has a good minimal model or a Mori fibre space. Moreover, if $X$ is $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial, then any Log Minimal Model Program on $K_X+\Delta$ with scaling terminates. As an application we prove that a log Fano type variety $X$ with $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial log canonical singularities is a Mori dream space.
