A recurring difficulty in the Minimal Model Program is that while log terminal singularities are quite well behaved (for instance, they are rational), log canonical singularities are much more complicated; they need not even be…

We prove that a Cohen-Macaulay normal variety $X$ has Du Bois singularities if and only if $\pi_*\omega_{X'}(G) \simeq \omega_X$ for a log resolution $\pi: X' \to X$, where $G$ is the reduced exceptional divisor of $\pi$. Many basic…

The normalization of a quasi-log canonical pair is a quasi-log canonical pair.

We prove that every quasi-projective semi log canonical pair has a quasi-log structure with several good properties. It implies that various vanishing theorems, torsion-free theorem, and the cone and contraction theorem hold for semi log…

We establish a characterization of the Du Bois complex of a reduced pair $(X,Z)$ when $X\smallsetminus Z$ has rational singularities. As an application, when $X$ has normal Du Bois singularities and $Z$ is the locus of non-rational…

We establish a Koll\'ar-type gluing theory for NQC generalized log canonical pairs and use it to prove semi-ampleness results of NQC generalized pairs. As consequences, we prove the existence of flips for any NQC generalized log canonical…

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 show that minimal models of log canonical pairs exist, assuming the existence of minimal models of smooth varieties.

1) Assuming log Minimal Model Conjecture, we give a construction of a complete moduli space of stable log pairs of arbitrary dimension generalizing directly the space M_{g,n} of pointed stable curves. Each stable pair has semi log canonical…

We establish a kind of subadjunction formula for quasi-log canonical pairs. As an application, we prove that a connected projective quasi-log canonical pair whose quasi-log canonical class is anti-ample is simply connected and rationally…

We introduce the notion of quasi-log complex analytic spaces and establish various fundamental properties. Moreover, we prove that a semi-log canonical pair naturally has a quasi-log complex analytic space structure. This paper is part of…

Let $R \to S$ be a cyclically pure map of Noetherian $\mathbb{Q}$-algebras. In this paper, we show that if $S$ has Du Bois singularities, then $R$ has Du Bois singularities. Our result is new even when $R \to S$ is faithfully flat. Our…

This is a survey of some recent developments in the study of singularities related to the classification theory of algebraic varieties. In particular, the definition and basic properties of Du Bois singularities and their connections to the…

The LCS locus is an essential ingredient in the proof of fundamental results of Log Minimal Model Program, such as nonvanishing and base point freeness theorems. We prove in this paper that the LCS locus of a log canonical variety has…

Linearly projecting smooth projective varieties provides a method of obtaining hypersurfaces birational to the original varieties. We show that in low dimension, the resulting hypersurfaces only have Du Bois singularities. Moreover, we…

We compare the minimal model of a log canonical pair with the minimal model of its reduced boundary. These results are then used to study the existence of the minimal model of a semi-log-canonical pair using its normalization.

We investigate properties of potentially Du Bois singularities, that is, those that occur on the underlying space of a Du Bois pair. We show that a normal variety $X$ with potentially Du Bois singularities and Cartier canonical divisor…

This paper is a gentle introduction to the theory of quasi-log varieties by Ambro. We explain the fundamental theorems for the log minimal model program for log canonical pairs. More precisely, we give a proof of the base point free theorem…

In this note we generalize the results of [KK10] and [KK20] by showing that if a closed subset V of X is "close enough" to being a union of log canonical centers, then it is Du Bois.

We extend the notions of higher Du Bois and higher rational singularities to pairs in the sense of the minimal model program. We extend numerous results to these higher pairs, including Bertini type theorems, stability under finite maps and…
