It is shown that the log-canonical threshold of a curve with an isolated singularity is computed by the term ideal of the curve in a suitable system of local parameters at the singularity. The proof uses the Enriques diagram of the…

The nonvanishing conjecture for projective log canonical pairs plays a key role in the minimal model program of higher dimensional algebraic geometry. The numerical nonvanishing conjecture considered in this paper is a weaker version of the…

We completely prove the ACC for minimal log discrepancies on smooth threefolds. It implies on smooth threefolds the ACC for a-lc thresholds, the uniform m-adic semi-continuity of minimal log discrepancies and the boundedness of the log…

We compute log canonical thresholds of reduced plane curves of degree $d$ at points of multiplicity $d-1$. As a consequence, we describe all possible values of log canonical threshold that are less than $2/(d-1)$ for reduced plane curves of…

Under the assumption of the minimal model theory for projective klt pairs of dimension $n$, we establish the minimal model theory for lc pairs $(X/Z,\Delta)$ such that the log canonical divisor is relatively log abundant and its restriction…

A singular $k$-tuple of a tensor $T$ of format $(n_1,\ldots,n_k)$ is essentially a complex critical point of the distance function from $T$ constrained to the cone of tensors of format $(n_1,\ldots,n_k)$ of rank at most one. A generic…

This paper is about the logarithmic limit sets of real semi-algebraic sets, and, more generally, about the logarithmic limit sets of sets definable in an o-minimal, polynomially bounded structure. We prove that most of the properties of the…

Let $s(n)$ be the number of different remainders $n \bmod k$, where $1 \leq k \leq \lfloor n/2 \rfloor$. This rather natural sequence is sequence A283190 in the OEIS and while some basic facts are known, it seems that surprisingly it has…

The thin set theorem $\mathsf{RT}^n_{<\infty,\ell}$ asserts the existence, for every $k$-coloring of the subsets of natural numbers of size $n$, of an infinite set of natural numbers, all of whose subsets of size $n$ use at most $\ell$…

We prove that every quasi-projective semi log canonical pair has a quasi-log structure with several good properties. It implies that various vanishing theorems, torsion-free theorem, and the cone and contraction theorem hold for semi log…

We show that the set of threefold canonical thresholds satisfies the ascending chain condition. Moreover, we derive that threefold canonical thresholds in the interval $ (\frac{1}{2}, 1)$ consists of $ \{ \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{n}\}_{n \ge 3}…

The log canonical threshold (lct) is a fundamental invariant in birational geometry, essential for understanding the complexity of singularities in algebraic varieties. Its real counterpart, the real log canonical threshold (rlct), also…

In this paper we completely characterize all dimension functions on all models of the theory $T_{\log}$ of the asymptotic couple of the field of logarithmic transseries (Dimension Theorem). This is done by characterizing the "small"…

Recent study in K-stability suggests that klt singularities whose local volumes are bounded away from zero should be bounded up to special degeneration. We show that this is true in dimension three, or when the minimal log discrepancies of…

We study the connectedness of the non-subklt locus over the spectrum of a formal power series ring. In dimension 3, we prove the existence and normality of the smallest lc centre, and apply it to the ACC for minimal log discrepancies…

This paper proves the minimum size of a supersequence over a set of eight elements is 52. This disproves a conjecture that the lower bound of the supersequence is the partial sum of the geometric Connell sequence. By studying the internal…

Minimal log discrepancies (mld's) are related not only to termination of log flips, and thus to the existence of log flips but also to the ascending chain condition (acc) of some global invariants and invariants of singularities in the Log…

Let $(A_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ be a stationary sequence of topical (i.e., isotone and additively homogeneous) operators. Let $x(n,x_0)$ be defined by $x(0,x_0)=x_0$ and $x(n+1,x_0)=A_nx(n,x_0)$. It can model a wide range of systems including…

We study the set of log-canonical thresholds (or critical integrability indices) of holomorphic (resp. real analytic) function germs in $\mathbb{C}^2$ (resp. $\mathbb{R}^2$). In particular, we prove that the ascending chain condition holds,…

To r ideals on a germ of smooth variety X one attaches a rational polytope in the r-dimensional Euclidean space (the LCT-polytope) that generalizes the notion of log canonical threshold in the case of one ideal. We study these polytopes,…
