Higher rational and higher Du Bois singularities have recently been introduced as natural generalizations of the standard definitions of rational and Du Bois singularities. In this note, we discuss these properties for isolated…
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…
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 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…
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.
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…
Let $X$ be a complex algebraic variety. With $\mathbb{Q}$-coefficients, the compactly supported cohomology groups $H^{i}_{c}(X, \mathbb{Q})$ and the compactly supported intersection cohomology groups $IH^{i}_{c}(X, \mathbb{Q})$ have mixed…
We compute the Du Bois complexes of abstract cones over singular varieties, and use this to describe the local cohomological dimension and the non-positive K-groups of such cones.
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…
We study the behavior of Du~Bois singularities under base change and fiber products. For embeddable varieties in characteristic zero, we show that Du~Bois singularities descend from any field extension. We also prove that the product of a…
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 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 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 study a natural Hodge theoretic generalization of rational (or $\mathbb{Q}$-)homology manifolds through an invariant ${\rm HRH(Z)}$ where $Z$ is a complex algebraic variety. The defining property of this notion encodes the difference…
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…
Let $Y$ be a compact Gorenstein analytic space with only isolated singularities and trivial dualizing sheaf. A recent paper of Imagi studies the deformation theory of $Y$ in case the singularities of $Y$ are weighted homogeneous and…
We prove new results concerning the topology and Hodge theory of singular varieties. A common theme is that concrete conditions on the complexity of the singularities, from a number of different perspectives, are closely related to the…
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…
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…
