If a smooth connected projective complex n-fold, $n\geq 3$, has pseudo-effective $K_X$ with Nakayama numerical Kodaira dimension $\kappa _\sigma (K_X)=1$, must a finite sequence of K-negative divisorial contractions and flips reach a projective Q-factorial terminal model Y with nef $K_Y$?

OpenAI claim summary for Math-2538
Manuscript 1 (family 036, 2026-09-24): The problem selects the mathematical statement summarized here, including its stated hypotheses and parameter range. The cited theorem gives a claimed proof of that assertion in full.
Canonical minimal models in numerical dimension one
OpenAI's claim
A smooth complex projective variety with canonical section-growth numerical dimension one is claimed to admit a terminal factorial minimal model, with good-model consequences using the separate abundance input. The cited manuscript argues for that result; its relation to this problem is specified below.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Mathematical claim 1.
Let $X$ be smooth connected projective over $\mathbb C$, $n=\dim X\ge3$, and suppose $K_X$ is pseudo-effective. Define the section-growth numerical dimension by \[ \kappa_\sigma(X,D)=\max\{k\in\{0,\ldots,n\}:\ \exists\text{ ample Cartier }A,\ \limsup_{m\to\infty}h^0(X,mD+A)/m^k>0\}. \] Assume $\kappa_\sigma(X,K_X)=1$. OpenAI claims finitely many divisorial contractions or flips, each $K$-negative to a normal projective rational-factorial terminal $Y$ with $K_Y$ nef. The inverse map contracts no divisor, and on a common smooth resolution $p:W\to X$, $q:W\to Y$, \[ p^*K_X=q^*K_Y+E,\qquad E\ge0,\quad q_*E=0, \] with the strict transforms of all contracted prime divisors in $\operatorname{Supp}E$. A separate corollary, using the companion log-abundance theorem, claims $K_Y$ semiample. The invariant retains the fixed ample twist $A$; it is not an assumed growth bound for untwisted pluricanonical sections.Outline of the argument
Manuscript 1 (family 036, 2026-09-24): Positive-boundary programs first reduce the possible exceptional loci. Algebraic codimension-two cycle classes give a finite homological decrease after discrepancy control; a final surface criterion eliminates the remaining obstruction without assuming general minimal-model existence.Formal verification
Family 036 has no Lean scope page in this snapshot; no formalization of these manuscript results is listed.This site has not executed the Lean files or checked their dependencies. These descriptions report the scope of the linked declarations, rather than a new verification of the proofs.
Status caveat
OpenAI attributes these results to an internal model. Its release notice cautions that results lacking full formalization can contain mistakes. This site has not independently assessed the proofs; a solved label records the scope of the reported claim.Sources
