This research note provides algebraic characterizations of the least model, subsumption, and uniform equivalence of propositional Krom logic programs.
We give a light introduction to some recent developments in Mori theory, and to our recent direct proof of the finite generation of the canonical ring.
A natural construction of the logarithmic extension of the M(2,p) minimal models is presented, which generalises our previous model [0708.0802] of percolation (p=3). Its key aspect is the replacement of the minimal model irreducible modules…
We generalize Miyanishi's theory of almost minimal models of log smooth surfaces with reduced boundary to the case of arbitrary log surfaces defined over an algebraically closed field. Given an MMP run of a log surface $(X,D)$ we define and…
In the famous paper of Deligne and Mumford, they proved that a proper hyperbolic curve over a discrete valuation field has stable reduction if and only if the Jacobian variety of the curve has stable reduction in the case where the residue…
We use intersection theory, degeneration techniques and jet schemes to study log canonical thresholds. Our first result gives a lower bound for the log canonical threshold of a pair in terms of the log canonical threshold of the image by a…
Using combinatorics of chains going back to works of Anick, Green, Happel and Zacharia, we give, for any monomial algebra $A$, an explicit description of its minimal model. This also provides us with formulas for a canonical…
In this article we prove that the union of two almost orthogonal planes in R4 is Almgren-minimal. This gives an example of a one parameter family of minimal cones, which is a phenomenon that does not exist in R3. This work is motivated by…
The first aim of this note is to give a concise, but complete and self-contained, presentation of the fundamental theorems of Mori theory - the nonvanishing, base point free, rationality and cone theorems - using modern methods of…
For $\mathbb Q$-factorial klt algebraically integrable adjoint foliated structures, we prove the cone theorem, the contraction theorem, and the existence of flips. Therefore, we deduce the existence of the minimal model program for such…
We prove Angehrn-Siu type effective base point freeness and point separation for log canonical pairs.
Datalog$^\neg$ is a central formalism used in a variety of domains ranging from deductive databases and abstract argumentation frameworks to answer set programming. Its model theory is the finite counterpart of the logical semantics…
This is a survey of some recent developments in the study of singularities related to the classification theory of algebraic varieties. In particular, the definition and basic properties of Du Bois singularities and their connections to the…
This paper is an announcement of the minimal model theory for log surfaces in all characteristics and contains some related results including a simplified proof of the Artin-Keel contraction theorem in the surface case.
This is the continuation of Montes' paper "On the canonical discussion of polynomial systems with parameters". In this paper we define the Minimal Canonical Comprehensive Groebner System (MCCGS) of a parametric ideal and fix under which…
We prove the existence of $n$-complements for pairs with DCC coefficients and the ACC for minimal log discrepancies of exceptional singularities. In order to prove these results, we develop the theory of complements for real coefficients.…
In a previous work, we described the Minimal Model Program in the family of $\Qbb$-Gorenstein projective horospherical varieties, by studying certain continuous changes of moment polytopes of polarized horospherical varieties. Here, we…
We continue our study of the relation between log minimal models and various types of Zariski decompositions. Let $(X,B)$ be a projective log canonical pair. We will show that $(X,B)$ has a log minimal model if either $K_X+B$ birationally…
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…
The smallest deformation of the minimal model M(2,3) that can accommodate Cardy's derivation of the percolation crossing probability is presented. It is shown that this leads to a consistent logarithmic conformal field theory at c=0. A…
