We say that F is weakly positive on X if there exists some Zariski open subvariety U X such that for every ample invertible sheaf H and every positive integer α, there exists some positive integer β such that (S αβ F) H β is generated by global sections over U, which means that the natural map H 0 (X, (S αβ F) H β ) O X (S αβ F) H β is surjective over U.

28 The main statement P14. (Preparation): log canonical threshold The log canonical threshold of D with respect to (X, B) is defined by lct(x, B; D) = sup{t 0 (X, B + td) is lc}. Definition of global log canonical threshold ( glct ) : Let Y be a normal projective variety with at worst klt singularities such that K Y is nef and big.
