We generalize the formula for the log canonical threshold(LCT) of plane curves over the complex numbers to arbitrary characteristics. Our proof relies purely on valuation theory, instead of on the theory of $D$-modules.

We aim to classify codimension 1 foliations $\mathscr{F}$ with canonical singularities and $\nu(K_{\mathscr{F}}) < 3$ on threefolds of general type. We prove a classification result for foliations satisfying these conditions and having…

Given a logarithmic $1$-form on the snc locus of a log canonical surface pair $(X, D)$ over a perfect field of characteristic $p \ge 7$, we show that it extends with at worst logarithmic poles to any resolution of singularities. We also…

We study compact K\"ahler threefolds X with infinite fundamental group whose universal cover can be compactified. Combining techniques from $L^2$ -theory, Campana's geometric orbifolds and the minimal model program we show that this…

We will prove the following results for $3$-fold pairs $(X,B)$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>5$: log flips exist for $\Q$-factorial dlt pairs $(X,B)$; log minimal models exist for projective klt pairs $(X,B)$…

Let $S$ be KLT threefold singularity over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p>5$. We prove that its local \'etale fundamental group is tame and finite. Further, we show that every finite unipotent torsor over a big…

A general canonical curve X determines a finite set T(X) of hyperplanes, which is in bijective correspondence with the set of odd theta-characteristics of X. The definition of T(X) can be extended to certain singular curves, in a way that…

We study fundamental groups of projective varieties with normal crossing singularities and of germs of complex singularities. We prove that for every finitely-presented group G there is a complex projective surface S with simple normal…

We show that a homology plane of general type has at worst a single cyclic quotient singular point. An example of such a surface with a singular point does exist. We also show that the automorphism group of a smooth contractible surface of…

The Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture stipulates that for every projective variety $X$ of general type over ${\mathbb C}$, there exists a proper algebraic subvariety of $X$ containing all non constant entire curves $f:{\mathbb C}\to X$. Using…

We study the geometry of quintic threefolds $X\subset \mathbb{P}^4$ with only ordinary triple points as singularities. In particular, we show that if a quintic threefold $X$ has a reducible hyperplane section then $X$ has at most $10$…

We point out an interesting relation between hypersurface elliptic singularities and log Enriques surfaces: with a few exceptions, every hypersurface elliptic singularity define some klt log Enriques surface $(S,Diff)$. In many cases, the…

We show that a weak version of the canonical bundle formula holds for fibrations of relative dimension one. We provide various applications thereof, for instance, using the recent result of Xu and Zhang, we prove the log non-vanishing…

The nonvanishing conjecture for projective log canonical pairs plays a key role in the minimal model program of higher dimensional algebraic geometry. The numerical nonvanishing conjecture considered in this paper is a weaker version of the…

We study logarithmic jet schemes of a log scheme and generalize a theorem of M. Mustata from the case of ordinary jet schemes to the logarithmic case. If X is a normal local complete intersection log variety, then X has canonical…

Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a projective klt three dimensional pair defined over an algebraically closed field characteristic larger than 5. Let $L$ be a nef and big line bundle on $X$ such that $L-K_X-\Delta$ is big and nef. We show that $L$ is…

In this paper, we discuss a generalization of log canonical singularities in the non-$\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein setting. We prove that if a normal complex projective variety has a non-invertible polarized endomorphism, then it has log…

Projective varieties with ample cotangent bundle satisfy many notions of hyperbolicity, and one goal of this paper is to discuss generalizations to quasi-projective varieties. A major hurdle is that the naive generalization fails, i.e. the…

Given a log canonical pair $(X, \Delta)$, we show that $K_X+\Delta$ is nef assuming there is no non-constant map from the affine line with values in the open strata of the stratification induced by the non-klt locus of $(X, \Delta)$. This…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, and let $X\subseteq\mathbb{P}^n_k$ be a quasi-projective variety that is $F$-rational and $F$-pure. We prove that if $H \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n_k$ is a general hyperplane,…
