Orbifold Slope Rational-Connectedness
  The notion of 'slope rational connectedness' is introduced in the context of smooth orbifold pairs. The main result parallels the characterization of the rational connectedness of projective manifolds in terms of either the non-existence of holomorphic covariant tensors, or of absence of fibrations onto manifolds with pseudo-effective canonical bundle, or of existence of movable classes for which the minimal slope of the tangent bundle is positive. We then use this result to construct the `rational quotient map' in orbifold category.
