Abstract
Using the techniques of [20] and [10], we prove that certain log forms may be lifted from a divisor to the ambient variety. As a consequence of this result, following [22], we show that: For any positive integer n there exists an integer r n such that if X is a smooth projective variety of general type and dimension n, then \(\phi_{rK_X}\colon X\dasharrow\mathbb{P}(H^0(\mathcal{O}_{X}(rK_X)))\) is birational for all r≥r n .
