In this note, using methods introduced by Hacon, McKernan and Xu, we study the accumulation points of volumes of varieties of log general type. First, we show that, if the set of boundary coefficients $\Lambda$ is DCC, closed under limits…

In this article we prove the following version of the Weak-BAB conjecture for $3$-folds in char $p>5$: Fix a DCC set $I\subset [0, 1)$ and an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>5$. Let $\mathfrak{D}$ be a collection of klt…

We give an example of a non $\Q$-Gorenstein variety which is canonical but not klt, and whose canonical divisor has an irrational valuation. We also give an example of an irrational jumping number and we prove that there are no accumulation…

We give an upper bound on the volume vol(P*) of a polytope P* dual to a d-dimensional lattice polytope P with exactly one interior lattice point, in each dimension d. This bound, expressed in terms of the Sylvester sequence, is sharp, and…

We show that infinitely many Gorenstein weakly-exceptional quotient singularities exist in all dimensions, we prove a weak-exceptionality criterion for five-dimensional quotient singularities, and we find a sufficient condition for being…

We give asymptotic large deviations estimates for the volume inside a domain U of the zero set of a random polynomial of degree N, or more generally, of a holomorphic section of the N-th power of a positive line bundle on a compact Kaehler…

We prove a quantitative estimate on the number of certain singularities in almost minimizing clusters. In particular, we consider the singular points belonging to the lowest stratum of the Federer-Almgren stratification (namely, where each…

Let $f$ be an entire transcendental function of finite order and $\Delta$ be a forward invariant bounded Siegel disk for $f$ with rotation number in Herman's class $\mathcal{H}$. We show that if $f$ has two singular values with bounded…

The ACC conjecture for local volumes predicts that the set of local volumes of klt singularities $x\in (X,\Delta)$ satisfies the ACC if the coefficients of $\Delta$ belong to a DCC set. In this paper, we prove the ACC conjecture for local…

Let $f$ be a convergent power series of $n$ variables having an isolated singularity at 0. For a rational number $\alpha$, setting $(X,0)=({\mathbb C}^n,0)$, we show that the length of the ${\mathcal D}_X$-module ${\mathcal D}_Xf^{-\alpha}$…

We show that there exists a positive real number $\delta>0$ such that for any normal quasi-projective $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein $3$-fold $X$, if $X$ has worse than canonical singularities, that is, the minimal log discrepancy of $X$ is less…

We discuss a particular class of rational Gorenstein singularities, which we call symplectic. A normal variety V has symplectic singularities if its smooth part carries a closed symplectic 2-form whose pull-back in any resolution X --> V…

We consider the nonrotating isolated horizon as an inner boundary of a four-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetime region. Due to the symmetry of the isolated horizon, it turns out that the boundary degrees of freedom can be described by…

In this article we study conjectures regarding normalized volume and boundedness of singularities. We focus on singularities with a torus action of complexity 1, threefold singularities, and hypersurface singularities. Given a real value…

In this work, we study the consequences of an empty polar variety on the topology of a function-germ with (possibly) nonisolated singularities defined on a singular variety.

Let a finite group G act linearly on a finite dimensional vector space V over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>2. Assume that the quotient V/G is an isolated singularity. In the case when p does not divide the order of G,…

We study singularities obtained by the contraction of the maximal divisor in compact (non kaehlerian) surfaces which contain global spherical shells. These singularities are of genus 1 or 2, may be Q-Gorenstein, numerically Gorenstein or…

In this paper we generalize the definitions of singularities of pairs and multiplier ideal sheaves to pairs on arbitrary normal varieties, without any assumption on the variety being Q-Gorenstein or the pair being log Q-Gorenstein. The main…

In this note, we show that the normalized local volume of a non-closed point can be expressed in terms of the normalized local volumes of closed points.

Let B be a spacetime region of width 2R > 0, and \phi a vector state localized in B. We show that the vacuum relative entropy of \phi, on the local von Neumann algebra of B, is bounded by 2\pi R-times the energy of the state \phi in B. This…
