In this paper we address Fano manifolds X with a locally unsplit dominating family of rational curves of anticanonical degree equal to the dimension of X. We first observe that their Picard number is at most 3, and then we provide a…
Let $X$ be a smooth hypersurface of degree $n\geq 3$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$. We prove that the log canonical threshold of $H\in|-K_X|$ is at least $\frac{n-1}{n}$. Under the assumption of the Log minimal model program, we also prove that a…
We investigate Fano varieties defined over a number field that contain subvarieties whose number of rational points of bounded height is comparable to the total number on the variety.
We consider the problem to determine which blow-ups along subvarieties in products of two projective spaces are log Fano. By describing the nef cones of such blow-ups with special centers, we give a partial classification result. For each…
For a birational log Fano contraction, it is conjectured an inequality between the dimension of its exceptional locus and the minimal log discrepancy over the locus. The conjecture follows from the existence of the flip for the contraction…
The minimum of intersection numbers of the anti-canonical divisor with rational curves on a Fano manifold is called pseudo-index. It is expected that the intersection number of anti-canonical divisor attains to the minimum on an extremal…
In this paper, we discuss on the linearized stability of the trivial solution for a class of nonlinear Caputo fractional differential systems of order $\alpha\in(1,2)$. We show that some recent existing results in this direction are wrong.…
We consider the canonical fundamental systems of solutions of linear homogeneous Caputo fractional differential equations with continuous variable coefficients. Here we gained a series-representation of the canonical fundamental system by…
We compute the $F$-pure threshold of the natural cone over flag varieties in characteristic $p>0$. Our calculations are mainly focused on flag varieties that are arithmetically Gorenstein, but we offer some results in the non-Gorenstein…
The goal of this paper is to explore the genus and degree of the Fano scheme of linear subspaces on a complete intersection in a complex projective space. Firstly, suppose that the expected dimension of the Fano scheme is one, we prove a…
We study a divisor computing the minimal log discrepancy on a smooth surface. Such a divisor is obtained by a weighted blow-up. There exists an example of a pair such that any divisor computing the minimal log discrepancy computes no log…
In this short note we provide an unbiased multilevel Monte Carlo estimator of the log marginal likelihood and discuss its application to variational Bayes.
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 describe the foundation of the log minimal model program for log canonical pairs according to Ambro's idea. We generalize Koll\'ar's vanishing and torsion-free theorems for embedded simple normal crossing pairs. Then we prove the cone…
A canonical system of basic invariants is a system of invariants satisfying a set of differential equations. The properties of a canonical system are related to the mean value property for polytopes. In this article, we naturally identify…
Lower bounds involving $f$-divergences between the underlying probability measures are proved for the minimax risk in estimation problems. Our proofs just use simple convexity facts. Special cases and straightforward corollaries of our…
Bounds on the log partition function are important in a variety of contexts, including approximate inference, model fitting, decision theory, and large deviations analysis. We introduce a new class of upper bounds on the log partition…
We show that the minimal log discrepancy of any $\mathbb Q$-Gorenstein non-canonical threefold is $\leq\frac{12}{13}$, which is an optimal bound.
We study a pair consisting of a smooth variety over a field of positive characteristic and a multi-ideal with a real exponent. We prove the finiteness of the set of minimal log discrepancies for a fixed exponent if the dimension is less…
The main purpose of this article is to prove that the family of all Fano threefolds with log-terminal singularities with bounded index is bounded.
