We discuss the ACC conjecture and the LSC conjecture for minimal log discrepancies of generalized pairs. We prove that some known results on these two conjectures for usual pairs are still valid for generalized pairs. We also discuss the…

Given a sequence (a_k) = a_0, a_1, a_2,... of real numbers, define a new sequence L(a_k) = (b_k) where b_k = a_k^2 - a_{k-1} a_{k+1}. So (a_k) is log-concave if and only if (b_k) is a nonnegative sequence. Call (a_k) "infinitely…

Let (X_0,B_0) be the canonical limit of a one-parameter family of stable pairs, provided by the log Minimal Model Program. We prove that X_0 is S2 and that [B_0] is S_1, as an application of a general local statement: if (X,B+\epsilon D) is…

We investigate threshold phenomena for random polytopes $K_N=\conv\{X_1,\dots,X_N\}$ generated by i.i.d.\ samples from an atomic law $\mu$. We identify and provide a missing justification in the discrete-hypercube threshold argument of…

Let $X_n = \{1,2,\dots,n\}$ be a finite set $(n\geq 2)$ and $T_n$ the full transformation semigroup on $X_n$. For a positive integer $l\leq n-1$, we define $$T_n(l) = \{\alpha\in T_n \colon \forall x,y\in X_n,\, |x-y| = l \;\Rightarrow\;…

We show that minimal models of log canonical pairs exist, assuming the existence of minimal models of smooth varieties.

As a localizing invariant, THH participates in localization sequences of cyclotomic spectra. We resolve a conjecture of Rognes by relating these to residue sequences in logarithmic THH. Consequently, logarithmic THH, TR, and TC serve as…

It is a classical fact that domains of convergence of power series of several complex variables are characterized as logarithmically convex complete Reinhardt domains; let $D \subsetneq \mathbb{C}^N$ be such a domain. We show that a…

The first step to study lower bounds for a stochastic process is to prove a special property - Sudakov minoration. The property means that if a certain number of points from the index set are well separated then we can provide an optimal…

For a fixed pair and fixed exponents, we prove the discreteness of log discrepancies over all log canonical triples formed by attaching a product of ideals with given exponents.

In this paper we characterize two-dimensional semi-log canonical hypersurfaces in arbitrary characteristic from the viewpoint of the initial term of the defining equation. As an application, we prove a conjecture about a uniform bound of…

Let $(X/Z,B+A)$ be a $\Q$-factorial dlt pair where $B,A\ge 0$ are $\Q$-divisors and $K_X+B+A\sim_\Q 0/Z$. We prove that any LMMP$/Z$ on $K_X+B$ with scaling of an ample$/Z$ divisor terminates with a good log minimal model or a Mori fibre…

We study the \L ojasiewicz exponent and the log canonical threshold of ideals of $\mathcal O_n$ when restricted to generic subspaces of $\mathbb C^n$ of different dimensions. We obtain effective formulas of the resulting numbers for ideals…

We prove Weak Borisov--Alexeev--Borisov Conjecture in dimension three which states that the anti-canonical volume of an $\epsilon$-klt log Fano pair of dimension three is bounded from above.

We prove a number of fundamental facts about the canonical order on projections in C*-algebras of real rank zero. Specifically, we show that this order is separative and that arbitrary countable collections have equivalent (in terms of…

Let $\mathcal C\subset(0,1]$ be a set satisfying the descending chain condition. We show that any accumulation point of volumes of log canonical surfaces $(X, B)$ with coefficients in $\mathcal C$ can be realized as the volume of a log…

We prove the normality of minimal log canonical centers on threefold pairs which residue fields are perfect of residue characteristics $p\neq 2,3 $ and $5$. We also show that the union of all log canonical centers on threefold pairs with…

We study a notion of VC-dimension for subsets of groups, defining this for a set $A$ to be the VC-dimension of the family $\{ (xA) \cap A : x \in A\cdot A^{-1} \}$. We show that if a finite subset $A$ of an abelian group has bounded…

We give a new proof of the finiteness of B-representations. As a consequence of the finiteness of B-representations and Koll\'ar's gluing theory on lc centers, we prove that the (relative) abundance conjecture for slc pairs is implied by…

We construct a continuum of non-homeomorphic compact subspaces of the real line R without singleton components. Thus from the purely topological point of view the real line contains not only more closed sets than open sets but also more…
