We prove that the Hilbert scheme of the plane in positive characteristic admits an invertible top differential form. This implies certain integrability properties of the symmetric powers of the plane. This allows to define a function on the…

We introduce higher-order variants of the Frobenius-Seshadri constant due to Musta\c{t}\u{a} and Schwede, which are defined for ample line bundles in positive characteristic. These constants are used to show that Demailly's criterion for…

We show that if f is a nonzero, noninvertible function on a smooth complex variety X and J_f is the Jacobian ideal of f, then lct(f, J_f^2)>1 if and only if the hypersurface defined by f has rational singularities. Moreover, if this is not…

Let $f: X \to Z$ be a fibration from a normal projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ onto a normal curve $Z$ over a perfect field of characteristic $p>2$. Let $(X, B)$ be a dlt pair such that the induced pair on a general fibre is log…

Let X be a smooth variety over a field of positive characteristic, and let E be an overconvergent isocrystal on X. We establish a criterion for the existence of a "canonical logarithmic extension" of E to a good compactification of X. In…

We prove a precise inversion of adjunction formula for the log pair associated to a non-degenerate hypersurface. As a corollary, the minimal log discrepancies of non-degenerate normal hypersurface singularities are bounded from above by…

We show that log canonical thresholds of fixed dimension are standardized. More precisely, we show that any sequence of log canonical thresholds in fixed dimension $d$ accumulates in a way which is i) either similar to how standard and…

We introduce a notion of $F$-concavity which largely generalizes the usual concavity. By the use of the notions of closedness under positive scalar multiplication and closedness under positive exponentiation we characterize power concavity…

We expand the theory of log canonical $3$-fold complements. We prove that if $X\rightarrow T$ is a $3$-dimensional contraction of log Calabi-Yau type, then we can find $B\geq 0$ on $X$ for which $(X,B)$ is log canonical and $n(K_X+B)\sim_T…

We show some inductive statements for the index conjecture for log canonical Calabi-Yau pairs. Using it, we show that boundedness of log canonical index for log canonical Calabi Yau pairs with rational DCC coefficients in dimension 3. We…

1) Assuming log Minimal Model Conjecture, we give a construction of a complete moduli space of stable log pairs of arbitrary dimension generalizing directly the space M_{g,n} of pointed stable curves. Each stable pair has semi log canonical…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of positive characteristic and let $X$ be a smooth irreducible quasi-compact scheme over $k$. The Drinfeld-Kedlaya theorem states that for an irreducible $F$-isocrystal on $X$, the gap between consecutive generic…

The main purpose of this paper is to establish some useful partial resolutions of singularities for pairs from the minimal model theoretic viewpoint. We first establish the existence of log canonical modifications of normal pairs under some…

We give a self-contained presentation of the basic results on jet schemes of singular varieties. Applications are given to invariants of singularities, such as minimal log discrepancies. We simplify our older approach to Inversion of…

It is shown that the log-canonical threshold of a curve with an isolated singularity is computed by the term ideal of the curve in a suitable system of local parameters at the singularity. The proof uses the Enriques diagram of the…

Suppose $(X, \Delta)$ is a log-$\bQ$-Gorenstein pair. Recent work of M. Blickle and the first two authors gives a uniform description of the multiplier ideal $\mJ(X;\Delta)$ (in characteristic zero) and the test ideal $\tau(X;\Delta)$ (in…

We continue to study and present concrete examples in characteristic 2 of compound Du Val singularities defined over an algebraically closed field which have one dimensional singular loci but cannot be written as products (a rational double…

For a normal F-finite variety $X$ and a boundary divisor $\Delta$ we give a uniform description of an ideal which in characteristic zero yields the multiplier ideal, and in positive characteristic the test ideal of the pair $(X,\Delta)$.…

In a recent paper, the first author proved the log-concavity of the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a matroid realizable over a field of characteristic 0, answering a long-standing conjecture of Read in graph theory. We…

We study log canonical thresholds (also called global log canonical threshold or $\alpha$-invariant) of $\mathbb{R}$-linear systems. We prove existence of positive lower bounds in different settings, in particular, proving a conjecture of…
