We introduce new notions of $k$-Du Bois and $k$-rational singularities, extending the previous definitions in the case of local complete intersections (lci), to include natural examples outside of this setting. We study the stability of…
We show that k-rational singularities of local complete intersections are k-Du Bois. For hypersurfaces, we characterize k-rationality in terms of the minimal exponent. We also establish some local vanishing results for k-rational and k-Du…
We prove that the higher direct images $R^qf_*\Omega^p_{\mathcal Y/S}$ of the sheaves of relative K\"ahler differentials are locally free and compatible with arbitrary base change for flat proper families whose fibers have $k$-Du Bois local…
This work establishes simple criteria for detecting higher rational singularities via the intersection Du Bois complex and the irrationality complex of a normal variety over the complex numbers.
In this note, we give several equivalent characterizations of higher Du Bois and higher rational singularities in the context of globally defined hypersurfaces. As a key input, we characterize these singularities using the Hodge filtration…
We study the relationship between higher Du Bois singularities and $K$-regularity, a notion that measures the $\mathbb{A}^1$-invariance of the algebraic $K$-groups. Building on this relationship, we establish a strengthened form of Vorst's…
We prove several results about the behavior Du Bois singularities and Du Bois pairs in families. Some of these generalize existing statements about Du Bois singularities to the pair setting while others are new even in the non-pair setting.…
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…
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…
We compare a couple of notions of differential form on singular complex algebraic varieties, and relate them to the outermost associated graded spaces of the Hodge filtration of ordinary and intersection cohomology. In particular, we…
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…
A resolution-free definition of rational singularities is introduced, and it is proved that for a variety admitting a resolution of singularities, so in particular in characteristic zero, this is equivalent to the usual definition. It is…
For a complex algebraic variety $X$, we introduce higher $p$-Du Bois singularity by imposing canonical isomorphisms between the sheaves of K\"ahler differential forms $\Omega_X^q$ and the shifted graded pieces of the Du Bois complex…
We study the singularities of secant varieties of smooth projective varieties using methods from birational geometry when the embedding line bundle is sufficiently positive. More precisely, we study the Du Bois complex of secant varieties…
We show that it is possible to utilize the Hirzebruch-Milnor classes of projective hypersurfaces in the classical sense to detect higher du Bois or rational singularities only in some special cases. We also give several remarks clarifying…
The rationality of the singularities of the $A_n$-loci is the natural question that arises in the papers devoted to the study of the Thom polynomials and $K$-theoretic invariants of the said loci. In this paper we prove that, in general,…
We prove that good quotients of algebraic varieties with 1-rational singularities also have 1-rational singularities. This refines a result of Boutot on rational singularities of good quotients.
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…
Recent progress in the deformation theory of Calabi-Yau varieties $Y$ with canonical singularities has highlighted the key role played by the higher Du Bois and higher rational singularities, and especially by the so-called $k$-liminal…
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…
