Application To Classification
The Iitaka conjecture states that the Kodaira dimension of a fibration is at least the sum of the Kodaira dimension of the base and the Kodaira dimension of a general fiber. This motivates a classification programme for algebraic varieties, in which it is sought to represent V as a fibration over a variety of general type, with typical fiber of Kodaira dimension 0. This is quite a natural idea, given that the application of the Proj construction to the pluricanonical ring should produce a projective variety in which the sections of powers of K 'capture' as much as they can about V.

Famous quotes containing the words application to and/or application:
“Preaching is the expression of the moral sentiment in application to the duties of life.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea!—incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
