We show that if f is a nonzero, noninvertible function on a smooth complex variety X and J_f is the Jacobian ideal of f, then lct(f, J_f^2)>1 if and only if the hypersurface defined by f has rational singularities. Moreover, if this is not…

We show that the set $\mathcal{T}_{3, \mathrm{sm}}^{\mathrm{can}}$ of smooth threefold canonical thresholds coincides with $\mathcal{T}_{2, \mathrm{sm}}^{\mathrm{lc}}=\mathcal{HT}_{2}$, where $\mathcal{HT}_{2}$ is the $2$-dimensional…

We study log canonical models of foliated surfaces of general type. In particular, we show that log canonical models of general type and their minimal partial du Val resolutions are bounded. Moreover, we show the valuative criteria of…

We prove that the anti-canonical divisors of weak Fano 3-folds with log canonical singularities are semiample. Moreover, we consider semiampleness of the anti-log canonical divisor of any weak log Fano pair with log canonical singularities.…

In this paper, we show that Shokurov's conjectures on the ACC for $a$-lc thresholds and the ACC for minimal log discrepancies are equivalent in the interval $[0,1)$. That is, the conjecture on ACC for $a$-lc thresholds holds for every…

In this note we calculate the multiplier ideal associated to an arbitrary monomial ideal in C^n. We discuss applications to the calculation of log canonical thresholds.

By using the $q$-analogue of van der Corput's method we study the divisor function in an arithmetic progression to modulus $q$. We show that the expected asymptotic formula holds for a larger range of $q$ than was previously known, provided…

We study relations between the property of being log abundant for lc pairs and the termination of log MMP with scaling. We prove that any log MMP with scaling of an ample divisor starting with a projective dlt pair contains only finitely…

We study the \L ojasiewicz exponent and the log canonical threshold of ideals of $\mathcal O_n$ when restricted to generic subspaces of $\mathbb C^n$ of different dimensions. We obtain effective formulas of the resulting numbers for ideals…

Tensor decomposition is now being used for data analysis, information compression, and knowledge recovery. However, the mathematical property of tensor decomposition is not yet fully clarified because it is one of singular learning…

Suppose that $X$ is a projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. Further suppose that $L$ is an ample (or more generally in some sense positive) divisor. We study a natural linear system in $|K_X + L|$.…

We introduce orbifold Euler numbers for normal surfaces with Q-divisors. These numbers behave multiplicatively under finite maps and in the log canonical case we prove that they satisfy the Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau type inequality. As a…

Shokurov's ACC Conjecture says that the set of all log canonical thresholds on varieties of bounded dimension satisfies the Ascending Chain Condition. This conjecture was proved for log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties in [EM1].…

For a smooth germ of algebraic variety $(X,0)$ and a hypersurface $(f=0)$ in $X$, with an isolated singularity at $0$, Teissier conjectured a lower bound for the Arnold exponent of $f$ in terms of the Arnold exponent of a hyperplane section…

We study the subvariety of singular sections, the discriminant, of a base point free linear system $|L|$ on a smooth toric variety $X$. On one hand we describe pairs $(X,L)$ for which the discriminant is of low dimension. Precisely, we…

We prove a central limit theorem for smooth linear statistics related to the zero divisors of Gaussian i.i.d. centered holomorphic sections of tensor powers of a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over a non-compact Hermitian manifold.

Let T_n denote the set of log canonical thresholds of pairs (X,Y), with X a nonsingular variety of dimension n, and Y a nonempty closed subscheme of X. Using non-standard methods, we show that every limit of a decreasing sequence in T_n…

Linear thresholding models postulate that the conditional distribution of a response variable in terms of covariates differs on the two sides of a (typically unknown) hyperplane in the covariate space. A key goal in such models is to learn…

Let X be a complex projective variety and D a reduced divisor on X. Under a natural minimal condition on the singularities of the pair (X, D), which includes the case of smooth X with simple normal crossing D, we ask for geometric criteria…

We prove that the LMMP works for projective threefolds over function fields of characteristic $p>5$ when the canonical divisor is not pseudo-effective. In the process we show that ACC for log canonical thresholds holds in complete…
