Let X be a singular affine normal variety with coordinate ring R and assume that there is an R-order admitting a stability structure such that the scheme of relevant semistable representations is smooth, then we construct a partial…

This paper deals with a complete invariant $R_X$ for cyclic quotient surface singularities. This invariant appears in the Riemann Roch and Numerical Adjunction Formulas for normal surface singularities. Our goal is to give an explicit…

We recall Borcherds's approach to vertex algebras via "singular commutative rings", and introduce new examples of his constructions which we compare to vertex algebras, chiral algebras, and factorization algebras. We show that all vertex…

We study Cox rings of K3-surfaces. A first result is that a K3-surface has a finitely generated Cox ring if and only if its effective cone is polyhedral. Moreover, we investigate degrees of generators and relations for Cox rings of…

Let $R$ be a ring with identity and $I(X,R)$ be the incidence algebra of a locally finite partially ordered set $X$ over $R.$ In this paper, we compute the socle and the singular ideal of the incidence ring for some $X$ in terms of the…

We introduce a geometric realization of noncommutative singularity resolutions. To do this, we first present a new conjectural method of obtaining conventional resolutions using coordinate rings of matrix-valued functions. We verify this…

Let S_r be the blow-up of P^2 in r general points, i.e., a smooth Del Pezzo surface of degree 9-r. For r <= 7, we determine the quadratic equations defining its Cox ring explicitly. The ideal of the relations in Cox(S_8) is calculated up to…

We establish an interesting connection between Morin singularities and stable homotopy groups of spheres. We apply this connection to computations of cobordism groups of certain singular maps. The differentials of the spectral sequence…

We prove the following theorem characterizing Du Bois singularities. Suppose that $Y$ is smooth and that $X$ is a reduced closed subscheme. Let $\pi : \tld Y \to Y$ be a log resolution of $X$ in $Y$ that is an isomorphism outside of $X$. If…

We give an affirmative answer to Nash Problem for quotient surface singularities, in particular for the icosahedral singularity $E_8$.

We calculate the Weyl group invariants with respect to a maximal torus of the exceptional Lie group $E_6$.

We describe the versal deformation of two-dimensional cyclic quotient singularities in terms of equations, following Arndt, Brohme and Hamm. For the reduced components the equations are determined by certain systems of dots in a triangle.…

We define a Hodge-theoretical refinement of the Lyubeznik numbers for local rings of complex algebraic varieties. We prove that these numbers are independent of the choices made in their definition and that, for the local ring of an…

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 $D_{n}$, $E_{6}$, $E_{7}$,…

This paper develops the study of Fox pairings of a group $G$ from the viewpoint of group cohomology. We compute some cohomology groups of Fox pairings of $G$, where $G$ admits a Poincar\'{e} duality group pair. We also suggest fundamental…

Let X be a smooth complex variety and Y be a closed subvariety of X, or more generally, a closed subscheme of X. We are interested in invariants attached to the singularities of the pair (X, Y). We discuss various methods to construct such…

Given a klt singularity $(X,\Delta;x)$, we define the iteration of Cox rings of $(X,\Delta;x)$. The first result of this article is that the iteration of Cox rings ${\rm Cox}^{(k)}(X,\Delta;x)$ of a klt singularity stabilizes for $k$ large…

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,…

We provide a complete classification of the singularities of cluster algebras of finite type with trivial coefficients. Alongside, we develop a constructive desingularization of these singularities via blowups in regular centers over fields…

Motivated by the Beauville-Voisin conjecture about Chow rings of powers of $K3$ surfaces, we consider a similar conjecture for Chow rings of powers of EPW sextics. We prove part of this conjecture for the very special EPW sextic studied by…
