The minimal log discrepancy is an invariant of singularities that plays an important role in the birational classification of algebraic varieties. Shokurov conjectured that the minimal log discrepancy can always be bounded from above in…

The goal of this paper is a classification theorem of the singularities according to a new invariant, Mather discrepancy. On the other hand, we show some evidences convincing us that Mather discrepancy is a considerable invariant: By…

We survey the known and expected properties of the minimal log discrepancy, the local invariant of a log variety.

In this note, we prove a sharp lower bound for the log canonical threshold of a plurisubharmonic function $\varphi$ with an isolated singularity at $0$ in an open subset of ${\mathbb C}^n$. This threshold is defined as the supremum of…

We prove that for each positive integer $n$ there exists a positive number $\epsilon_n$ so that $n$-dimensional toric quotient singularities satisfy the ACC for mld's on the interval $(0,\epsilon_n)$. In the course of the proof, we will…

We show the semi-continuity property of minimal log discrepancies for varieties which have a crepant resolution in the category of Deligne-Mumford stacks. Using this property, we also prove the ideal-adic semi-continuity problem for toric…

An explanation to the boundness of minimal log discrepancies conjectured by V.V. Shokurov would be that the minimal log discrepancies of a variety in its closed points define a lower semi-continuous function. We check this lower…

We prove a conjecture of Shokurov which characterises toric varieties using log pairs.

This paper formulates the Nash problem for a pair consisting of a toric variety and an invariant ideal and gives an affirmative answer to the problem. We also prove that the minimal log-discrepacy is computed by a divisor corresponding to a…

We show the existence of prime divisors computing minimal log discrepancies in positive characteristic except for a special case. Moreover we prove the lower semicontinuity of minimal log discrepancies for smooth varieties in positive…

We introduce an approach of Riemann--Roch theorem to the boundedness problem of minimal log discrepancies in fixed dimension. After reducing it to the case of a Gorenstein terminal singularity, firstly we prove that its minimal log…

We consider the quotient variety associated to a linear representation of the cyclic group of order p in characteristic p>0. We estimate the minimal discrepancy of exceptional divisors over the singular locus. In particular, we give…

We show that the minimal log discrepancy of any isolated Fano cone singularity is at most the dimension of the variety. This is based on its relation with dimensions of moduli spaces of orbifold rational curves. We also propose a…

We study the subvariety of singular sections, the discriminant, of a base point free linear system $|L|$ on a smooth toric variety $X$. On one hand we describe pairs $(X,L)$ for which the discriminant is of low dimension. Precisely, we…

Let X be a normal variety such that $K_X$ is Q-Cartier, and let $f: X \rightarrow X$ be a finite surjective morphism of degree at least two. We establish a close relation between the irreducible components of the locus of singularities that…

We give a method to investigate isolated log canonical singularities with index one which are not log terminal. Our method depends on the minimal model program. One of the main purposes is to prove that our invariant coincides with Ishii's…

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…

In this article we prove a local implication of boundedness of Fano varieties. More precisely, we prove that $d$-dimensional $a$-log canonical singularities, with standard coefficients, which admit an $\epsilon$-plt blow-up have minimal log…
