We formulate a conjecture on the number of integral points of bounded height on log Fano varieties in analogy with Manin's conjecture on the number of rational points of bounded height on Fano varieties. We also give a prediction for the…
We show that the minimal log discrepancy of any isolated Fano cone singularity is at most the dimension of the variety. This is based on its relation with dimensions of moduli spaces of orbifold rational curves. We also propose a…
We prove the ascending chain condition for log canonical thresholds of bounded coregularity.
For fixed degree $d\leq 12$, we study the Hilbert scheme of degree $d$ smooth Fano threefolds in their anticanonical embeddings. We use this to classify all possible degenerations of these varieties to toric Fano varieties with at most…
This paper is devoted to the study of various aspects of deformations of log pairs, especially in connection to questions related to the invariance of singularities and log plurigenera. In particular, using recent results from the minimal…
It is known that the set of log canonical thresholds (lcts) on any varieties with fixed dimension satisfies the ascending chain condition. Inspired by the foliated minimal model program, it is intriguing to study the foliated version of…
In this paper, we study the explicit geometry of threefolds, in particular, Fano varieties. We find an explicitly computable positive integer $N$, such that all but a bounded family of Fano threefolds have $N$-complements. This result has…
We compute the log canonical thresholds of non-negatively curved singular hermitian metrics on ample linearized line bundles on bi-equivariant group compactifications of complex reductive groups. To this end, we associate to any such metric…
We consider pairs (X,A), where X is a variety with klt singularities and A is a formal product of ideals on X with exponents in a fixed set that satisfies the Descending Chain Condition. We also assume that X has (formally) bounded…
We construct exceptional Fano varieties with the smallest known minimal log discrepancies in all dimensions. These varieties are well-formed hypersurfaces in weighted projective space. Their minimal log discrepancies decay doubly…
We study global log canonical thresholds on anticanonically embedded quasismooth weighted Fano threefold hypersurfaces having terminal quotient singularities to prove the existence of a Kahler-Einstein metric on most of them, and to produce…
We prove a more general and precise version of the Noether-Fano inequalities for birational maps between Mori fiber spaces. This is applied to give descriptions of global canonical thresholds on Fano varieties of Picard number one.
We show that if a divisor centered over a point on a smooth surface computes a minimal log discrepancy, then the divisor also computes a log canonical threshold. To prove the result, we study the asymptotic log canonical threshold of the…
We generalize the formula for the log canonical threshold(LCT) of plane curves over the complex numbers to arbitrary characteristics. Our proof relies purely on valuation theory, instead of on the theory of $D$-modules.
We give an explicit formula for the log-canonical threshold of a reduced germ of plane curve. The formula depends only on the first two maximal contact values of the branches and their intersection multiplicities. We also improve the two…
We show that the global log canonical threshold of generic Fano complete intersections of index 1 and codimension $k$ in ${\mathbb P}^{M+k}$ is equal to 1 if $M\geqslant 3k+4$ and the highest degree of defining equations is at least 8. This…
We prove a conjecture due to V.V. Shokurov on the boundedness of $\epsilon$-log canonical complements on surfaces. As an application we give a new proof to the boundedness of weak log Fano surfaces.
We classify Fano 3-folds with canonical Gorenstein singularities whose anticanonical linear system has no base points but does not give an embedding, and we classify anticanonically embedded Fano 3-folds with canonical Gorenstein…
Motivated by the study of Fano type varieties we define a new class of log pairs that we call asymptotically log Fano varieties and strongly asymptotically log Fano varieties. We study their properties in dimension two under an additional…
The anticanonical complex has been introduced as a natural generalization of the toric Fano polytope and so far has been succesfully used for the study of varieties with a torus action of complexity one. In the present article we enlarge…
