Higher-dimensional algebraic geometry
TLDR
A good introduction to algebraic geometry can be found in this paper, where the authors provide an easily accessible introduction to the subject and provide a mostly self-contained introduction to graduate students and researchers.Abstract:
Higher-dimensional algebraic geometry studies the classification theory of algebraic varieties. This very active area of research is still developing, but an amazing quantity of knowledge has accumulated over the past twenty years. The author?s goal is to provide an easily accessible introduction to the subject. The book covers preparatory and standard definitions and results, moves on to discuss various aspects of the geometry of smooth projective varieties with many rational curves, and finishes in taking the first steps towards Mori?s minimal model program of classification of algebraic varieties by proving the cone and contraction theorems. The book is well organized and the author has kept the number of concepts that are used but not proved to a minimum to provide a mostly self-contained introduction to graduate students and researchers.read more

Flips for 3-folds and 4-folds
TL;DR: In this article, the existence of flips on weak del Pezzo klt surfaces has been investigated, and a special termination and reduction to pl flips has been proposed, which is called special termination-and reduction-to-pl flips.
