Threefolds Whose Canonical Bundles Are Not Numerically Effective

Abstract Let X be an arbitrary nonsingular projective 3-fold whose canonical bundle is not numerically effective. Then we have: (i) X contains an exceptional divisor of several types, which we classify explicitly, (ii) X has a morphism to a projective nonsingular surface whose fibers are conics, (iii) X has a morphism to a projective nonsingular curve whose general fibers are Del Pezzo surfaces, or (iv) X is a Fano 3-fold with Picard number 1.
