A note on polarized varieties with high nef value

Abstract

We study the classification problem for polarized varieties with high nef value. We give a complete list of isomorphism classes for normal polarized varieties with high nef value. This generalizes classical work on the smooth case by Fujita, Beltrametti and Sommese. As a consequence we obtain that polarized varieties with slc singularities and high nef value are birationally equivalent to projective bundles over nodal curves.
