Abstract
If is an algebraic variety with at worst canonical singularities and is a -Cartier hypersurface in , the canonical threshold of the pair is the supremum of such that the pair is canonical. We show that the set of all possible canonical thresholds of the pairs , where is a germ of smooth 3-dimensional variety, satisfies the ascending chain condition. We also deduce a formula for the canonical threshold of , where S is a Brieskorn singularity.
