A singularity is said to be weakly-exceptional if it has a unique purely log terminal blow up. This is a natural generalization of the surface singularities of types $D_{n}$, $E_{6}$, $E_{7}$ and $E_{8}$. Since this idea was introduced,…
A singularity is said to be weakly--exceptional if it has a unique purely log terminal blow up. In dimension $2$, V. Shokurov proved that weakly--exceptional quotient singularities are exactly those of types $D_{n}$, $E_{6}$, $E_{7}$,…
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…
A singularity is said to be exceptional (in the sense of V. Shokurov), if for any log canonical boundary, there is at most one exceptional divisor of discrepancy -1. In our previous paper (math.AG/9805004) we found two examples of…
Gorenstein isolated quotient singularities of odd prime dimension are cyclic. In the case where the dimension is bigger than 1 and is not an odd prime number, then there exist Gorenstein isolated non-cyclic quotient singularities.
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,…
The purely log terminal blow-ups of three-dimensional terminal toric singularities are described. The three-dimensional divisorial contractions $f\colon (Y,E)\to (X\ni P)$ are described provided that $\Exc f=E$ is an irreducible divisor,…
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…
The purely log terminal blow-ups of three-dimensional terminal toric singularities are described.
Singular or weak solutions of the incompressible Euler equations have been hypothesized to account for anomalous dissipation at very high Reynolds numbers and, in particular, to explain the d'Alembert paradox of non-vanishing drag. A…

In this paper we shall prove that the singular locus of a symplectic singularity has no codimension 3 irreducible components. As a corollary, a symplectic singularity is terminal if and only if its singular locus has codimension $\geq 4$.…
In this paper we prove the existence of purely log terminal blow-up for Kawamata log terminal singularity and obtain the criterion for a singularity to be weakly exceptional in terms of the exceptional divisor of plt blow-up.
I discuss a special class of singularities obtained as a natural 4-dimensional generalization of the conical singularity. Such singularities (called quasiregular) are ruinous for the predictive force of general relativity, so one often…
We give a simple, elementary proof that a uniform algebra is weakly sequentially complete if and only if it is finite-dimensional.
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…
For a weighted quasihomogeneous two dimensional hypersurface singularity, we define a smoothing with unipotent monodromy and an isolated graded normal singularity. We study the natural weighted blow up of both the smoothing and the surface.…
We present a classification of all weighted projective spaces with at worst terminal or canonical singularities in dimension four. As a corollary we also classify all four-dimensional one-point lattice simplices up to equivalence. Finally,…
We study isolated quotient singularities by finite and linearly reductive group schemes (lrq singularities for short) and show that they satisfy many, but not all, of the known properties of finite quotient singularities in characteristic…
Recently a new type of cosmological singularity has been postulated for infinite barotropic index $w$ in the equation of state $p=w \rho$ of the cosmological fluid, but vanishing pressure and density at the singular event. Apparently the…
