  1. Abstract We show the validity of two special cases of the four-dimensional minimal model program (MMP) in characteristic $p>5$ : for contractions to $${\mathbb {Q}}$$ -factorial fourfolds and in families over curves (‘semistable MMP’). We also provide their mixed characteristic analogues. As a corollary, we show that liftability of positive characteristic threefolds is stable under the MMP and that liftability of three-dimensional Calabi–Yau varieties is a birational invariant. Our results are partially contingent upon the existence of log resolutions.

  2. Abstract In this paper we prove a result on the effective generation of pluri-canonical linear systems on foliated surfaces of general type. Fix a function {P:\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}\to\mathbb{Z}} , then there exists an integer {N>0} such that if {(X,{\mathcal{F}})} is a canonical or nef model of a foliation of general type with Hilbert polynomial {\chi(X,{\mathcal{O}}_{X}(mK_{\mathcal{F}}))=P(m)} for all {m\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}} , then {|mK_{\mathcal{F}}|} defines a birational map for all {m\geq N} . On the way, we also prove a Grauert–Riemenschneider-type vanishing theorem for foliated surfaces with canonical singularities.
