Abstract
We give a criterion for a nef divisor to be semi-ample on a Calabi-Yau threefold when and . As a direct consequence, we show that on such a variety , if is strictly nef and , then is ample; we also show that if there exists a Cariter divisor in the boundary of the nef cone of , then contains a rational curve when its topological Euler characteristic is not .
