Contractions and Flips for Varieties of Small Complexity
(joint work with Michel Brion)

Let G be a connected reductive group and let X be a projective, unirational, normal G-variety of complexity at most one. Then we show that some of the basic problems of Mori theory have a positive solution for X: Every face of NE(X) can be contracted, flips exist, and every sequence of directed (or inverse) flips terminates.
