We study the singularities of the isospectral Hilbert scheme $B^n$ of $n$ points over a smooth algebraic surface and we prove that they are canonical if $n \leq 5$, log-canonical if $n \leq 7$ and not log-canonical if $n \geq 9$. We…
We compare the minimal model of a log canonical pair with the minimal model of its reduced boundary. These results are then used to study the existence of the minimal model of a semi-log-canonical pair using its normalization.
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…
We study one parameter degenerations of complex projective manifolds by introducing certain type of Hodge metrics coming from the pluricanonical forms. We show that degenerations with at most canonical singularities are all in the finite…
We give a precise formulation of the modularity principle for the log canonical models of $\bar{M}_g$. Assuming the modularity principle holds, we develop and compare two methods for determining the critical alpha-values at which a…
Varieties with log terminal and log canonical singularities are considered in the Minimal Model Program, see \cite{...} for introduction. In \cite{shokurov:hyp} it was conjectured that many of the interesting sets, associated with these…
The quotient variety associated to a permutation representation of a finite group has only canonical singularities in arbitrary characteristic. Moreover, the log pair associated to such a representation is Kawamata log terminal except in…
For a normal subvariety $V$ of ${\bf C}^n$ with a good ${\bf C}^*$-action we give a simple characterization for when it has only log canonical, log terminal or rational singularities. Moreover we are able to give formulas for the…
The Conley index of an isolated invariant set is a fundamental object in the study of dynamical systems. Here we consider smooth functions on closed submanifolds of Euclidean space and describe a framework for inferring the Conley index of…
Given a morphism $X \to S$ of log schemes of characteristic $p > 0$ and a lifting of $X'$ over $S$ modulo $p^2$, we use Lorenzon's indexed algebras $A_X^{gp}$ and $B_{X/S}$ to construct an equivalence between $O_X$-modules with nilpotent…
This article is an exposition of an elementary constructive proof of canonical resolution of singularities in characteristic zero, presented in detail in Invent. Math. 128 (1997), 207-302. We define a new local invariant and get an…
In this article, we investigate F-pure thresholds of polynomials that are homogeneous under some N-grading, and have an isolated singularity at the origin. We characterize these invariants in terms of the base p expansion of the…
We prove the boundedness theorem for Fano threefolds with log-terminal singularities of any fixed index. This is an improvement of our earlier result, where we required additionally that the variety is Q-factorial, with Picard number 1. The…
We develop a new symbolic-numeric algorithm for the certification of singular isolated points, using their associated local ring structure and certified numerical computations. An improvement of an existing method to compute inverse systems…
We consider 1-forms on, so called, essentially isolated determinantal singularities (a natural generalization of isolated ones), show how to define analogues of the Poincar\'e--Hopf index for them, and describe relations between these…
We investigate the stratified hyperbolicity properties of Birkar's moduli stack of log canonical (lc) stable minimal models. The main technical result is a construction of Viehweg-Zuo's system of Higgs sheaves associated with an admissible…
We show that the log canonical threshold polytopes of varieties with log canonical singularities satisfy the ascending chain condition.
Determining the number of singular fibers in a family of varieties over a curve is a generalization of Shafarevich's Conjecture and has implications for the types of subvarieties that can appear in the corresponding moduli stack. We…
An isolated point on an algebraic curve is a closed point not belonging to a collection of points of the same degree parametrized by $\mathbf{P}^1$ or a positive rank abelian subvariety of the curve's Jacobian. We study the sets of…
We establish a version of a semistable reduction theorem over a log point with a non-trivial nilpotent structure. In order to do this we extend the classical desingularization theories to non-reduced schemes with generically principal…
