Proof of Lemma 6.5.

Set F:=μ∗​μ∗​G−G∈Div0⁡(𝒴)𝐐F:=\mu^{*}\mu_{*}G-G\in\Div_{0}(\mathcal{Y})_{\mathbf{Q}}. The divisor GG is μ\mu-nef since μ∗​(ρ∗​θ𝒳)+G\mu^{*}(\rho^{*}\theta_{\mathcal{X}})+G is nef by assumption, and Lemma 1.6 therefore implies that FF is effective.

Let WW be the closure of the center of vv on 𝒴\mathcal{Y}. Since the center of vv on 𝒳′\mathcal{X}^{\prime} is the generic point of EJ′E^{\prime}_{J}, we must have μ⁡(W)=EJ′\mu(W)=E^{\prime}_{J}. Note, however, that we do not claim dimW=dimEJ′\dim W=\dim E^{\prime}_{J}.

By Theorem 3.11, the function φμ∗​G\varphi_{\mu_{*}G} is affine on the face σJ′\sigma^{\prime}_{J} of Δ′\Delta^{\prime}. But φG\varphi_{G} is also affine on σJ′\sigma^{\prime}_{J} by assumption, and we have

φG​(ej′)=bj′​ordEj′⁡(G)=φμ∗​G​(ej′)for all j∈J.\varphi_{G}(e^{\prime}_{j})=b^{\prime}_{j}\ord_{E^{\prime}_{j}}(G)=\varphi_{\mu_{*}G}(e^{\prime}_{j})\quad\text{for all $j\in J$}.

It follows that φF≡0\varphi_{F}\equiv 0 on σJ′\sigma^{\prime}_{J}, and in particular v⁡(F)=0v(F)=0. But this means precisely that WW is not contained in Supp⁡F\supp F, so that F|WF|_{W} is an effective 𝐐\mathbf{Q}-Cartier divisor. Hence

μ∗​(ρ∗​θ𝒳+μ∗​G)|EJ′=(π∗​θ𝒳+μ∗​μ∗​G)|W=(π∗​θ𝒳+G)|W+F|W\mu^{*}(\rho^{*}\theta_{\mathcal{X}}+\mu_{*}G)|_{E^{\prime}_{J}}=(\pi^{*}\theta_{\mathcal{X}}+\mu^{*}\mu_{*}G)|_{W}=(\pi^{*}\theta_{\mathcal{X}}+G)|_{W}+F|_{W}

is the sum of a nef class and an effective class. We conclude by Lemma 6.6 below. ∎
