Abstract:

I will discuss new results towards the birational boundedness of
Calabi-Yau pairs. Recent work in the minimal model program suggests that
pairs with trivial log canonical class should satisfy some boundedness
properties. I will show that 4-dimensional Calabi-Yau pairs which are not
birational to a product are indeed log birationally bounded. This implies
birational boundedness of elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds with a
section, in dimension up to 5. This is joint work with Roberto Svaldi.
