We confirm a conjecture of Chi Li which says that the minimizer of the normalized volume function for a klt singularity is unique up to rescaling. This is achieved by defining stability thresholds for valuations, and then showing that a…
Li introduced the normalized volume of a valuation due to its relation to K-semistability. He conjectured that over a klt singularity there exists a valuation with smallest normalized volume. We prove this conjecture and provide an example…
For any $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein klt singularity $(X,o)$, we introduce a normalized volume function $\widehat{\rm vol}$ that is defined on the space of real valuations centered at $o$ and consider the problem of minimizing $\widehat{\rm…
We prove a version of Jonsson-Musta\c{t}\v{a}'s Conjecture, which says for any graded sequence of ideals, there exists a quasi-monomial valuation computing its log canonical threshold. As a corollary, we confirm Chi Li's conjecture that a…
Given a klt singularity $x\in (X, D)$, we show that a quasi-monomial valuation $v$ with a finitely generated associated graded ring is the minimizer of the normalized volume function $\widehat{\rm vol}_{(X,D),x}$, if and only if $v$ induces…
This is a continuation to the paper [arXiv:1511.08164] in which a problem of minimizing normalized volumes over $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein klt singularities was proposed. Here we consider its relation with K-semistability, which is an…
We show that in any $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein flat family of klt singularities, normalized volumes are lower semicontinuous with respect to the Zariski topology. A quick consequence is that smooth points have the largest normalized volume…
We show that in any $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein flat family of klt singularities, normalized volumes can only jump down at countably many subvarieties. A quick consequence is that smooth points have the largest normalized volume among all klt…
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 propose a new approach to constructing semistable integral models of hypersurfaces over a discretely valued complete field K. For each stable hypersurface X over K we define a continuous stability function on the Bruhat-Tits building of…
In this note, we aim to prove the finite semi-algebraic chamber decomposition theorem for K-semi(poly)stability under the assumption of the log boundedness of K-semistable degenerations. This boundedness assumption is naturally arising from…
We show relationships between uniform K-stability and plt blowups of log Fano pairs. We see that it is enough to evaluate certain invariants defined by volume functions for all plt blowups in order to test uniform K-stability of log Fano…
We show that both the k_T- and collinear factorization for the DIS structure functions can be obtained by consecutive reductions of the Compton scattering amplitude. Each of these reductions is an approximation valid under certain…
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…
Motivated by problems of uncertainty propagation and robust estimation we are interested in computing a polynomial sublevel set of fixed degree and minimum volume that contains a given semialgebraic set K. At this level of generality this…
On a K-unstable toric variety we show the existence of an optimal destabilising convex function. We show that if this is piecewise linear then it gives rise to a decomposition into semistable pieces analogous to the Harder-Narasimhan…
We prove some semipositivity theorems for singular varieties coming from graded polarizable admissible variations of mixed Hodge structure. As an application, we obtain that the moduli functor of stable varieties is semipositive in the…
K-polystability of a polarised variety is an algebro-geometric notion conjecturally equivalent to the existence of a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric. When a variety is K-unstable, it is expected to admit a "most destabilising"…
In this note, given a polarized algebraic manifold $(X,L)$, we define the Donaldson-Futaki invariant for a sequence of test configurations for $(X,L)$ with exponents tending to infinity. This then allows us to define a strong version of…
The standard stabilizer formalism provides a setting to show that quantum computation restricted to operations within the Clifford group are classically efficiently simulable: this is the content of the well-known Gottesman-Knill theorem.…
