We prove that the non-vanishing conjecture and the log minimal model conjecture for projective log canonical pairs can be reduced to the non-vanishing conjecture for smooth projective varieties such that the boundary divisor is zero.

Fujino and Tanaka established the minimal model theory for $\mathbb Q$-factorial log surfaces in characteristic $0$ and $p$, respectively. We prove that every intermediate surface has only log terminal singularities if we run the minimal…

We prove the finiteness of log pluricanonical representations for projective log canonical pairs with semi-ample log canonical divisor. As a corollary, we obtain that the log canonical divisor of a projective semi log canonical pair is…

We establish the minimal model program for log canonical and Q-factorial surfaces over excellent base schemes.

For a fixed pair and fixed exponents, we prove the discreteness of log discrepancies over all log canonical triples formed by attaching a product of ideals with given exponents.

In this note, we extend work of Farkas and Rim\'anyi on applying quadric rank loci to finding divisors of small slope on the moduli space of curves by instead considering all divisorial conditions on the hypersurfaces of a fixed degree…

We give a sufficient condition for the termination of flips. Then we discuss a semi-stable minimal model program for varieties with (numerically) trivial canonical divisor as an application. We also treat a slight refinement of dlt…

We show that minimal models of $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial NQC log canonical generalised pairs exist, assuming the existence of minimal models of smooth varieties. More generally, we prove that on a $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial NQC log canonical…

Let $(X,B)$ be a projective log canonical pair such that $B$ is a $\Q$-divisor, and that there is a surjective morphism $f\colon X\to Z$ onto a normal variety $Z$ satisfying: $K_X+B\sim_\Q f^*M$ for some $\Q$-divisor $M$, and the augmented…

Given a graded sequence of ideals (a_m) on a smooth variety $X$ having finite log canonical threshold, suppose that for every m we have a divisor E_m over X that computes the log canonical threshold of a_m, and such that the log…

We prove that the ACC conjecture for minimal log discrepancies holds for threefolds in $[1-\delta,+\infty)$, where $\delta>0$ only depends on the coefficient set. We also study Reid's general elephant for pairs, and show Shokurov's…

We discuss the relative log minimal model theory for log surfaces in the analytic setting. More precisely, we show that the minimal model program, the abundance theorem, and the finite generation of log canonical rings hold for log pairs of…

We prove, under suitable conditions, that there exist wall-crossing and reduction morphisms for moduli spaces of stable log pairs in all dimensions as one varies the coefficients of the divisor.

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…

Given an NQC log canonical generalized pair $(X,B+M)$ whose underlying variety $X$ is not necessarily $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial, we show that one may run a $(K_X+B+M)$-MMP with scaling of an ample divisor which terminates, provided that…

In this article, we use the cone of nef curves to study minimal log discrepancies. The first result is an improvement of the nef cone theorem in the case of log Calabi-Yau dlt pairs. Then, we prove that the ascending chain condition for…

Let $f:(X,B)\to Z$ be a 3-fold extremal dlt flipping contraction defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>5$, such that the coefficients of $\{B\}$ are in the standard set $\{1-\frac 1n|n\in \mathbb N\}$, then the…

We prove the abundance theorem for semi log canonical surfaces in positive characteristic.

We construct exceptional Fano varieties with the smallest known minimal log discrepancies in all dimensions. These varieties are well-formed hypersurfaces in weighted projective space. Their minimal log discrepancies decay doubly…

We characterize the mixed discriminant of positive semi definite matrices using its most basic properties. As a corollary we establish its minimality among non negative and multi additive functionals.
