Title: The cone theorem for Kähler varieties

Abstract:

There has been substantial recent progress towards the minimal model program for Kähler varieties. In this talk I will discuss a recent proof of the Cone Theorem for Kähler varieties of arbitrary dimension and related results such as the canonical bundle formula, subadjunction and Wenhao Ou's recent breakthrough result on the characterization of uniruled compact Kähler manifolds.
