In this article, we introduce an approach to study the fundamental group of a log terminal T-variety. As applications, we prove the simply connectedness of the spectrum of the Cox ring of a complex Fano variety, we compute the fundamental…

We classify some special classes of non-rational Fano threefolds with terminal singularities. In particular, all such hyperelliptic and trigonal varieties are found.

We first study hyperplane sections of some singular schemes over a field. We prove a Bertini theorem for the log smoothness of generic hyperplane sections of a large class of log smooth schemes over a log point. We also give an abstract…

The first examples of exceptional terminal singularities are constructed.

In this paper we study singularities defined by the action of Frobenius in characteristic $p > 0$. We prove results analogous to inversion of adjunction along a center of log canonicity. For example, we show that if $X$ is a Gorenstein…

Given a holomorphic differential on a smooth complex algebraic curve, we associate to it a Gorenstein curve singularity with $\mathbb G_m$-action via a test configuration. This construction decomposes the strata of holomorphic differentials…

We study a useful numerical invariant of normal surface singularities, introduced recently by T. Kawachi. Using this invariant, we give a quick proof of the (well-known) fact that all log-canonical surface singularities are either elliptic…

We prove that every variety with log-terminal singularities admits a crepant resolution by a smooth Artin stack. We additionally prove new McKay correspondences for resolutions by Artin stacks, expressing stringy invariants of…

Traces of singular moduli were introduced and studied by Zagier in 1998. Being simultaneously the (traces of) values of a modular function ($j$-invariant) and Fourier coefficients of modular forms - which constitutes Zagier's duality -…

We investigate nearly Gorenstein property for a normal graded ring $R = \bigoplus_{n\ge 0}R_n$ finitely generated over a field. For that purpose, we investigate ${K_R}^{-1}$, the inverse of $K_R$ (the canonical module of $R$) and introduce…

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 show that many classical results of the minimal model programme do not hold over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two. Indeed, we construct a three dimensional plt pair whose codimension one part is not normal, a three…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, and let $X\subseteq\mathbb{P}^n_k$ be a quasi-projective variety that is $F$-rational and $F$-pure. We prove that if $H \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n_k$ is a general hyperplane,…

For a flat family of Du Val singularities, we can take a simultaneous resolution after finite base change. It is an interesting problem to consider this analogy for a flat family of higher dimensional canonical singularities. In this note,…

Let $X$ be a normal, excellent, noetherian scheme over $\operatorname{Spec}\mathbb{Q}$ with a dualizing complex. In this note, we find an alternate characterization of the multiplier ideal of $X$, as defined by de Fernex-Hacon, by…

We introduce the class of weakly log canonical singularities, a natural generalization of semi-log canonical singularities. Toric varieties (associated to toric face rings, possibly non-normal or reducible) which have weakly (semi-) log…

We propose a method to compute a desingularization of a normal affine variety X endowed with a torus action in terms of a combinatorial description of such a variety due to Altmann and Hausen. This desingularization allows us to study the…

We study the relationship between singularity categories and relative singularity categories and discuss constructions of differential graded algebras of relative singularity categories. As consequences, we obtain structural results, which…

Given a normal $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein complex variety $X$, we prove that if one spreads it out to a normal $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein scheme $\mathcal{X}$ of mixed characteristic whose reduction $\mathcal{X}_p$ modulo $p$ has normal $F$-pure…

The main message of the paper is that for Gorenstein singularities, whose (real) link is rational homology sphere, the Artin--Laufer program can be continued. Here we give the complete answer in the case of elliptic singularities. The main…
