| Following work of Bridgeland in the smooth case and Chen in the terminal singularities case, I will explain a proposal that extends the existence of flops for threefolds (and the required derived equivalences) to also cover canonical singularities. Moreover this technique conjecturally says much more than just the existence of the flop, as it shows how the dual graph changes under the flop and also which curves in the flopped variety contract to points without contracting divisors. This allows us to continue the Minimal Model Programme on the flopped variety in an easy way, thus producing many varieties birational to the given input. | |||
