We show that the algebraic local fundamental group of any klt singularity as well as the algebraic fundamental group of the smooth locus of any log Fano variety are finite.

We prove a conjecture of Koll\'ar stating that the local fundamental group of a klt singularity $x$ is finite. In fact, we prove a stronger statement, namely that the fundamental group of the smooth locus of a neighbourhood of $x$ is…

We investigate when the fundamental group of the smooth part of a K3 surface or Enriques surface with Du Val singularities, is finite. As a corollary we give an effective upper bound for the order of the fundamental group of the smooth part…

In this article, we study the fundamental groups of low-dimensional log canonical singularities, i.e., log canonical singularities of dimension at most $4$. In dimension $2$, we show that the fundamental group of an lc singularity is a…

We show that klt Fano varieties and certain lc Fano varieties contain free higher-genus curves in their smooth loci. Our methods also allow us to find free curves on varieties in positive characteristic and on quasiprojective varieties,…

In this article, we propose a boundedness conjecture for the regional fundamental group of klt singularities. We prove that this boundedness conjecture, the Zariski closedness of the diminished base locus of $K_X$, and an upper bound for…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. Chambert-Loir proved that the \'etale fundamental group of a normal rationally chain connected variety over $k$ is finite. We prove that the fundamental group scheme of a normal rationally chain…

We study Kawamata log terminal singularities of full rank, i.e., $n$-dimensional klt singularities containing a large finite abelian group of rank $n$ in its regional fundamental group. The main result of this article is that klt…

We prove that in any fixed dimension, K-semistable log Fano cone singularities whose volumes are bounded from below by a fixed positive number form a bounded set. As a consequence, we show that the set of local volumes of klt singularities…

In this paper, the notion of local algebraic fundamental groups of normal complex analytic singularities are generalized to certain profinite groups called $D$-local algebraic fundamental groups which turns out to be useful even for the…

We prove that the local etale fundamental group of a strongly $F$-regular singularity is finite (and likewise for the \'etale fundamental group of the complement of a codimension $\geq 2$ set), analogous to results of Xu and…

Let $S$ be KLT threefold singularity over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p>5$. We prove that its local \'etale fundamental group is tame and finite. Further, we show that every finite unipotent torsor over a big…

Let (X, \omega) be an affine symplectic variety. Assume that X has a C^*-action with positive weights and \omega is homogeneous with respect to the C^*-action. We prove that the algebraic fundamental group of the smooth locus X_{reg} is…

We show that a set of K-semistable log Fano cone singularities is bounded if and only if their local volumes are bounded away from zero, and their minimal log discrepancies of Koll\'ar components are bounded from above. As corollaries, we…

We shall give, in an optimal form, a sufficient numerical condition for the finiteness of the fundamental group of the smooth locus of a normal K3 surface. We shall moreover prove that, if the normal K3 surface is elliptic and the above…

We prove that for a locally stable family of klt singularities with constant local volume, the ideal sequences of the minimizing valuations for the normalized volume function form a family of ideals with flat cosupport, which induces a…

We show the Jordan property for regional fundamental groups of klt singularities of fixed dimension. Furthermore, we prove the existence of effective simultaneous index one covers for $n$-dimensional klt singularities. We give an…

We survey some recent progress in the study of algebraic varieties X with log terminal singularities, especially, the uni-ruledness of the smooth locus X^0 of X, the fundamental group of X^0 and the automorphisms group on (smooth or…

We characterize the fundamental group of a locally finite graph G with ends combinatorially, as a group of infinite words. Our characterization gives rise to a canonical embedding of this group in the inverse limit of the (free) fundamental…

We investigate this class of groups originally called ulf (universal locally finite groups) of cardinality $\lambda$. We prove that for every locally finite group $G$ there is a canonical existentially closed extention of the same…
