This work concerns the stable module category of a finite group over a field of characteristic dividing the group order. The minimal localising tensor ideals correspond to the non-maximal homogeneous prime ideals in the cohomology ring of…

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…

This is the first in a projected series of three papers in which we construct the second flip in the log minimal model program for $\bar{M}_g$. We introduce the notion of a weakly proper algebraic stack, which may be considered as an…

The focus of this article is the study of a certain type of singularities and their transfer properties in a universally equidimensional morphism (i.e. an open morphism with constant pure-dimensional fibers). The singularities of interest…

Inspired by a question raised by Eisenbud-Musta\c{t}\u{a}-Stillman regarding the injectivity of maps from ${\rm Ext}$ modules to local cohomology modules and the work by the third author with Pham, we introduce a class of rings which we…

We show that k-rational singularities of local complete intersections are k-Du Bois. For hypersurfaces, we characterize k-rationality in terms of the minimal exponent. We also establish some local vanishing results for k-rational and k-Du…

We survey some recent topics on singularities, with a focus on their connection to the minimal model program. This includes the construction and properties of dual complexes, the proof of the ACC conjecture for log canonical thresholds and…

In this article, we study the fundamental groups of low-dimensional log canonical singularities, i.e., log canonical singularities of dimension at most $4$. In dimension $2$, we show that the fundamental group of an lc singularity is a…

We study the singularities of secant varieties of smooth projective varieties using methods from birational geometry when the embedding line bundle is sufficiently positive. More precisely, we study the Du Bois complex of secant varieties…

We give a criterion for a divisorial sheaf on a log terminal variety to be Cohen-Macaulay. The log canonical case and applications to moduli are also considered.

We extend the notions of higher Du Bois and higher rational singularities to pairs in the sense of the minimal model program. We extend numerous results to these higher pairs, including Bertini type theorems, stability under finite maps and…

In this paper we study families of projective manifolds with good minimal models. After constructing a suitable moduli functor for polarized varieties with canonical singularities, we show that, if not birationally isotrivial, the base…

It is a conjecture of Koll\'ar that a variety $X$ with rational singularities in some open subvariety $U$ has a rationalification; that is, a proper, birational morphism $f: Y \rightarrow X$ such that $Y$ has rational singularities, and…

An important local vanishing theorem for the minimal model program is the fact that klt singularities in characteristic zero are Cohen-Macaulay. In contrast, even in the narrow setting of terminal singularities of dimension 3, we show that…

In this paper, we discuss a generalization of log canonical singularities in the non-$\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein setting. We prove that if a normal complex projective variety has a non-invertible polarized endomorphism, then it has log…

We study the Du Bois complex $\underline{\Omega}_Z^\bullet$ of a hypersurface $Z$ in a smooth complex algebraic variety in terms its minimal exponent $\widetilde{\alpha}(Z)$. The latter is an invariant of singularities, defined as the…

We study log canonical models of foliated surfaces of general type. In particular, we show that log canonical models of general type and their minimal partial du Val resolutions are bounded. Moreover, we show the valuative criteria of…

Local log-regular rings are a certain class of Cohen-Macaulay local rings that are treated in logarithmic geometry. Our paper aims to provide purely commutative ring theoretic proof of some ring-theoretic properties of local log-regular…

In this article we develop a new method to deal with maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over non-isolated surface singularities. In particular, we give a negative answer on an old question of Schreyer about surface singularities with only…

We introduce framed formal curves, which are formal algebraic curves with boundary components parametrized by the punctured formal disk. We study the moduli space of nodal framed formal curves, which we endow with a logarithmic structure.…
