Tight closure test ideals have been central to the classification of singularities in rings of characteristic $p>0$, and via reduction to characteristic $p$, in equal characteristic zero as well. A summary of their properties and…

If $X$ is a projective, geometrically irreducible variety defined over a finite field $\F_q$, such that it is smooth and its Chow group of 0-cycles fulfills base change, i.e. $CH_0(X\times_{\F_q}\bar{\F_q(X)})=\Q$, then the second author's…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a global field $F$ of positive characteristic $p$ and let $\calf/F$ be a $\Z_p^{\N}$-extension, unramified outside a finite set of places of $F$. Assuming that all ramified places are totally…

An $R$-algebra $S$ is $R$-solid if there exists a nonzero $R$-linear map $S \rightarrow R$. In characteristic $p$, the study of $F$-singularities such as Frobenius splittings implicitly rely on the $R$-solidity of $R^{1/p}$. Following…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, $X$ and $Y$ be smooth $K$-varieties, and let $G$ be a algebraic $K$-group. Given two algebraic morphisms $\varphi:X\rightarrow G$ and $\psi:Y\rightarrow G$, we define their convolution…

We compute a number of invariants of singularities defined via the Frobenius morphism for seminormal affine toric varieties over fields of characteristic p > 0. Our main technical tool is a combinatorial description of the potential…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety with Gorenstein singularities. We define the notion of a wonderful resolution of singularities of $X$ by analogy with the theory of wonderful compactifications of semi-simple linear algebraic groups. We prove…

We give a version of the usual Jacobian characterization of the defining ideal of the singular locus in the equal characteristic case: the new theorem is valid for essentially affine algebras over a complete local algebra over a mixed…

The Milnor formula $\mu=2\delta-r+1$ relates the Milnor number $\mu$, the double point number $\delta$ and the number $r$ of branches of a plane curve singularity. It holds over the fields of characteristic zero. Melle and Wall based on a…

We study deformations of rational curves and their singularities in positive characteristic. We use this to prove that if a smooth and proper surface in positive characteristic $p$ is dominated by a family of rational curves such that one…

Let $A$ be a $W$-algebra over a field $F$ of characteristic zero, where $W$ is any $F$-algebra. We first develop a comprehensive theory of generalized identities independent of the algebraic structure of $W$, using the multiplier algebra of…

We introduce a spectrum for arbitrary varieties. This generalizes the definition by Steenbrink for hypersurfaces. In the isolated complete intersection singularity case, it coincides with the one given by Ebeling and Steenbrink except for…

The weighted dual graph of a two-dimensional normal singularity $(X, x)$ represents the topological nature of the exceptional locus of its minimal log resolution. $(X, x)$ and its graph are said to be taut if the singularity can be uniquely…

Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a log pair in characteristic $p>0$ and $P$ be a (not necessarily closed) point of $X$. We show that there exists a constant $\delta>0$ such that $\tau(X, \Delta)_P= \tau(X, \Delta + D)_P$ for each effective…

We generalize to all normal complex algebraic varieties the valuative characterization of multiplier ideals due to Boucksom-Favre-Jonsson in the smooth case. To that end, we extend the log discrepancy function to the space of all real…

We prove a generic vanishing type statement in positive characteristic and apply it to prove positive characteristic versions of Kawamata's theorems: a characterization of smooth varieties birational to ordinary abelian varieties and the…

We define a version of multiplier ideals, the Mather multiplier ideals, on a variety with arbitrary singularities, using the Mather discrepancy and the Jacobian ideal. In this context we prove a relative vanishing theorem, thus obtaining…

We establish a one-to-one correspondence between the singularity categories of rational double points and the simply-laced Dynkin graphs in arbitrary characteristic. This correspondence is well-known in characteristic zero since the…

Furstenberg has associated to every topological group $G$ a universal boundary $\partial(G)$. If we consider in addition a subgroup $H<G$, the relative notion of $(G,H)$-boundaries admits again a maximal object $\partial(G,H)$. In the case…

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…
