Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to study the main features of “flip,” the key operation in the center of the minimal model program, surrounding the two major conjectures (existence of flip) and (termination of flips). This chapter, however, reveals very little of the most important operation “flip,” discussing almost nothing deep in the direction toward (existence of flip). Our hope is that this introductory book will expose the reader to the subject without too much technical difficulty and motivate him to venture into the core of the theory afterwards.
