A limit of rational varieties need not be rational, even if all varieties in the family are projective and have at most terminal singularities.
Determining the number of singular fibers in a family of varieties over a curve is a generalization of Shafarevich's Conjecture and has implications for the types of subvarieties that can appear in the corresponding moduli stack. We…
Based on the Reid-Shepherd-Barron-Tai criterion for canonical and terminal quotient singularities, we characterize canonicity and terminality of a toric variety in terms of its local class group actions. Specializing it to the Picard number…
In this paper, we prove that a smooth projective globally $F$-split variety with numerically flat tangent bundle is an \'etale quotient of an ordinary abelian variety. We also show its logarithmic analog, which contains a characterization…
As is well known, the "usual discrepancy" is defined for a normal Q-Gorenstein variety. By using this discrepancy we can define a canonical singularity and a log canonical singularity. In the same way, by using a new notion, Mather-Jacobian…
Given an ambient variety $X$ and a fixed subvariety $Z$ we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a boundary $\Delta$ such that $Z$ is a log canonical center for the pair $(X, \Delta)$. We also show that under some additional…
To quantify single mode nonclassicality, we start from an operational approach. A positive semi-definite observable is introduced to describe a measurement setup. The quantification is based on the negativity of the normally ordered version…
We show that mixed-characteristic and equi-characteristic small deformations of 3-dimensional canonical (resp. terminal) singularities with perfect residue field of characteristic $p>5$ are canonical (resp. terminal). We discuss…
We study a pair consisting of a smooth variety over a field of positive characteristic and a multi-ideal with a real exponent. We prove the finiteness of the set of minimal log discrepancies for a fixed exponent if the dimension is less…
A singularity is said to be weakly-exceptional if it has a unique purely log terminal blow up. This is a natural generalization of the surface singularities of types $D_{n}$, $E_{6}$, $E_{7}$ and $E_{8}$. Since this idea was introduced,…
Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional vector space over the complex numbers and let $G\leq \operatorname{SL}(V)$ be a finite group. We describe the class group of a minimal model (that is, $\mathbb Q$-factorial terminalization) of the linear…
We show that the derived category of any singularity over a field of characteristic 0 can be embedded fully and faithfully into a smooth triangulated category which has a semiorthogonal decomposition with components equivalent to derived…
In 2009, de Fernex and Hacon proposed a generalization of the notion of the singularities to normal varieties that are not Q-Gorenstein. Based on their work, we generalize Kleiman's transversality theorem to subvarieties with log terminal…
We introduce and study a log discrepancy function on the space of semivaluations centered on an integral noetherian scheme of positive characteristic. Our definition shares many properties with the analogue in characteristic zero; we prove…
Entanglement is a purely quantum mechanical phenomenon and thus it has no classical analog. On the other hand, coherence is a well-known phenomenon in classical optics and in quantum mechanics. Recent research shows that quantum coherence…
In this paper we consider a quantum computational variant of nondeterminism based on the notion of a quantum proof, which is a quantum state that plays a role similar to a certificate in an NP-type proof. Specifically, we consider quantum…
In this paper, we propose a weak version of quotient for the algebraic action of a group on a variety, which we shall call a pseudo-quotient. They arise when we focus on the purely topological properties of good GIT quotients regardless of…
We prove that for $n \leq 4$ and $p > 5$, quasi--Gorenstein $F$--pure and $\mathbb{Q}_p$--rational $n$--fold singularities are canonical. This is analogous to the usual fact that rational Gorenstein singularities are canonical. The proof is…
This paper is a complement to the work of the second author on modular quotient singularities in odd characteristic (see arXiv:1210.8006). Here we prove that if $V$ is a three-dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic $2$ and…
We initiate the study of finite characterizations and exact learnability of modal languages. A finite characterization of a modal formula w.r.t. a set of formulas is a finite set of finite models (labelled either positive or negative) which…
