Let $I$ be a monomial ideal in two variables generated by three monomials and let $\mathcal{R}(I)$ be its Rees ideal. We describe an algorithm to compute the minimal generating set of $\mathcal{R}(I)$. Based on the data obtained by this…

We give an explicit way of writing down a minimal set of generators for the canonical ideal of a non-degenerate curve, or of a more general smooth projective curve in a toric surface, in terms of its defining Laurent polynomial.

Given a three-dimensional projective log canonical pair over a perfect field of characteristic larger than five, there exists a minimal model program that terminates after finitely many steps.

We prove that one can run the log minimal model program for log canonical $3$-fold pairs in characteristic $p>5$. In particular we prove the Cone Theorem, Contraction Theorem, the existence of flips and the existence of log minimal models…

Every normal toric ideal of codimension two is minimally generated by a Grobner basis with squarefree initial monomials. A polynomial time algorithm is presented for checking whether a toric ideal of fixed codimension is normal.

Let T_n denote the set of log canonical thresholds of pairs (X,Y), with X a nonsingular variety of dimension n, and Y a nonempty closed subscheme of X. Using non-standard methods, we show that every limit of a decreasing sequence in T_n…

The log-determinant of a kernel matrix appears in a variety of machine learning problems, ranging from determinantal point processes and generalized Markov random fields, through to the training of Gaussian processes. Exact calculation of…

For an ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring over a field, a monomial support of $I$ is the set of monomials that appear as terms in a set of minimal generators of $I$. Craig Huneke asked whether the size of a monomial support is a bound for the…

We prove that if Y is a hypersurface of degree d in P^n with isolated singularities, then the log canonical threshold of (P^n,Y) is at least min{n/d,1}. Moreover, if d is at least n+1, then we have equality if and only if Y is the…

In the paper we compute the global log canonical thresholds of the secondary Burniat surfaces with $K^2 = 5$. Furthermore, we establish optimal lower bounds for the log canonical thresholds of members in pluricanonical sublinear systems of…

We prove an upper bound on the log canonical threshold of a hypersurface that satisfies a certain power condition and use it to prove several generalizations of Igusa's conjecture on exponential sums, with the log-canonical threshold in the…

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 present an algorithm to decide whether a given ideal in the polynomial ring contains a monomial without using Gr\"obner bases, factorization or sub-resultant computations.

In this paper we introduce a binomial ideal derived from a binary linear code. We present some applications of a Gr\"obner basis of this ideal with respect to a total degree ordering. In the first application we give a decoding method for…

For any quantum group of finite ADE type, we prove a new formula for the standard bilinear form evaluated at monomials. Combining this with ideas from the Lusztig-Shoji algorithm, we obtain a new algorithm that computes the canonical basis.…

We treat two different topics on the log minimal model program, especially for four-dimensional log canonical pairs. (a) Finite generation of the log canonical ring in dimension four. (b) Abundance theorem for irregular fourfolds. We obtain…

In this paper, we define potential log canonical threshold and prove that the set of those thresholds satisfies the ascending chain condition (ACC). We also consider collections of sequences of Fano type varieties and we study their basic…

Let $I_G$ be the toric ideal of a graph $G$. We characterize in graph theoretical terms the primitive, the minimal, the indispensable and the fundamental binomials of the toric ideal $I_G$.

Given a local field $F$ of positive characteristic, an $F$-analytic manifold $X$ and an analytic function $f:X\rightarrow F$, the $F$-analytic log-canonical threshold $\mathrm{lct}_{F}(f;x_{0})$ is the supremum over the values $s\geq0$ such…

In this note, we give a bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a homogeneous ideal $I$ in terms of the degrees of its generators. We assume that $I$ defines a local complete intersection with log canonical singularities.
