We study log canonical thresholds (also called global log canonical threshold or $\alpha$-invariant) of $\mathbb{R}$-linear systems. We prove existence of positive lower bounds in different settings, in particular, proving a conjecture of…

Let $f\colon X\to Z$ be a Mori fibre space. McKernan conjectured that the singularities of $Z$ are bounded in terms of the singularities of $X$. Shokurov generalised this to pairs: let $(X,B)$ be a klt pair and $f\colon X\to Z$ a…

We prove that the linear system $|-1/3K_X| on a non-singular Fano fivefold $X$ of index 3 contains an irreducible divisor with only canonical singularities.

For Fano fibrations with $\epsilon$-lc singularities of a fixed dimension, we show the existence of bounded relative-global complements. If the base of the fibration is of dimension one, we even show the existence of bounded relative-global…

Let X be a Fano variety of index k such that the non-klt locus Nklt(X) is not empty. We prove that Nklt(X) has dimension at least k-1 and equality holds if and only if Nklt(X) is a linear projective space P^{k-1}. In this case X has lc…

We investigate birationality of the anti-pluricanonical map $\phi_{-m}$, the rational map defined by the anti-pluricanonical system $|-mK|$, on $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano threefolds.

We show that fixed dimensional klt weak Fano pairs with alpha-invariants and volumes bounded away from $0$ and the coefficients of the boundaries belong to the set of hyperstandard multiplicities $\Phi(\mathscr{R})$ associated to a fixed…

In this paper we show that a general element of $|-K_X|$ on a four-dimensional Fano manifold has at most terminal singularities. We then determine an explicit local expression of these singular points.

In this paper, we prove the canonical bundle formula for Fano type fibrations and Shokurov's conjecture on boundedness of complements for Fano type threefold pairs $(X,B)$ with fibration structures in large characteristics. In particular,…

In this paper, we investigate singularities on fibrations and related topics. We prove conjectures of McKernan and Shokurov on singularities on Fano type fibrations and a conjecture of the author on singularities on log Calabi-Yau…

A consistent exposition of the arguments and constructions of the method of maximal singularities, the aim of which is to describe birational iso/automorphisms of Fano varieties and Fano fibrations. The principal elements of the method are…

This survey paper reports on work of Birkar, who confirmed a long-standing conjecture of Alexeev and Borisov-Borisov: Fano varieties with mild singularities form a bounded family once their dimension is fixed. Following Prokhorov-Shramov,…

We show that fixed dimensional klt weak Fano pairs with alpha-invariants and volumes bounded away from $0$ and the coefficients of the boundaries belonging to a fixed DCC set $S$ form a bounded family. Moreover, such pairs admit a strong…

We prove the existence of good minimal models for any klt algebraically integrable adjoint foliated structure of general type, and that Fano algebraically integrable adjoint foliated structures with total minimal log discrepancies and…

In this article we prove a local implication of boundedness of Fano varieties. More precisely, we prove that $d$-dimensional $a$-log canonical singularities, with standard coefficients, which admit an $\epsilon$-plt blow-up have minimal log…

For any flat projective family $(\mX,\mL)\rightarrow C$ such that the generic fibre $\mX_\eta$ is a klt Q-Fano variety and $\mL|_{\mX_\eta}\sim_{Q}-K_{X_{\eta}}$, we use the techniques from the minimal model program (MMP) to modify the…

Let $(X,B)$ be an $\epsilon$-lc pair of dimension $d$ with a closed point $x\in X$. Birkar and Shokurov conjectured that there is an effective Cartier divisor $H$ passing through $x$ such that $(X,B+tH)$ is lc near $x$, where $t$ is a…

For $\epsilon$-lc Fano type varieties $X$ of dimension $d$ and a given finite set $\Gamma$, we show that there exists a positive integer $m_0$ which only depends on $\epsilon,d$ and $\Gamma$, such that both $|-mK_X-\sum_i\lceil mb_i\rceil…

The purpose of the present paper is to generalize Sakai's work on anticanonical models of rational surfaces to varieties of Fano type. We first prove a characterization of Fano type varieties using the singularities of anticanonical models.…

We show that the set of Fano varieties (with arbitrary singularities) whose anticanonical divisors have large Seshadri constants satisfies certain weak and birational boundedness. We also classify singular Fano varieties of dimension $n$…
