Abstract

In this paper, we study Miyaoka-type inequalities on Chern classes of terminal projective 3-folds with nef anti-canonical divisors. Let X be a terminal projective 3-fold such that −KX is nef. We show that if c1(X) · c2(X) ≠ 0, then \(c_{1}(X)\cdot c_{2}(X)\geqslant {1\over 252}\); if further X is not rationally connected, then \(c_{1}(X)\cdot c_{2}(X)\geqslant {4\over 5}\) and this inequality is sharp. In order to prove this, we give a partial classification of such varieties along with many examples. We also study the nonvanishing of c1(X)dim X − 2 ·c2(X) for terminal weak Fano varieties and prove a Miyaoka-Kawamata-type inequality.
