Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We show that the centre of a homologically homogeneous, finitely generated k-algebra has rational singularities. In particular if a finitely generated normal commutative…

In analogy to what happens in finite dimensions we state the Normal Form Theorem for k-singularities, introduced in the previous paper of the series. By means of that we study the local behaviour near a singularity i.e. we deduce local…

We prove an injectivity theorem for the cohomology of the Du Bois complexes of varieties with isolated singularities. We use this to deduce vanishing statements for the cohomologies of higher Du Bois complexes of such varieties. Besides…

This is a survey on (lack of) stable rationality over arbitrary fields (including algebraically closed fields). Topics addressed include: Rationality and unirationality, R-equivalence on rational points, Chow groups of zero-cycles, Galois…

In this paper, we generalize the notion of rational singularities for any reflexive sheaf of rank $1$, link our notion of rational singularities with the notion of rational singularities in [Kov11], and prove generalizations of standard…

We compute the equations of all rational double point singularities and we determine their types over perfect ground fields $k$ that arise as quotient singularities by finite linearly reductive subgroup schemes of $\textrm{SL}_{2,k}$.

Algebraic $K$-theory is a homology theory that behaves very well on sufficiently nice objects such as stable $C^*$-algebras or smooth algebraic varieties, and very badly in singular situations. This survey explains how to exploit this to…

Using Altmann-Hausen-Suss description of $\mathbb{T}$-varieties via divisorial fans and K\'ovacs-Schwede-Smith characterization of Du Bois singularities, we study Cohen-Macaulay Du Bois $\mathbb{T}$-singularities of complexity one. We…

This is a survey of some recent developments in the study of singularities related to the classification theory of algebraic varieties. In particular, the definition and basic properties of Du Bois singularities and their connections to the…

We show that if $Z$ is a local complete intersection subvariety of a smooth complex variety $X$, of pure codimension $r$, then $Z$ has $k$-rational singularities if and only if $\widetilde{\alpha}(Z)>k+r$, where $\widetilde{\alpha}(Z)$ is…

We prove that existence of a k-rational point can be detected by the stable A^1-homotopy category of S^1-spectra, or even a "rationalized" variant of this category.

Let $R \to S$ be a cyclically pure map of Noetherian $\mathbb{Q}$-algebras. In this paper, we show that if $S$ has Du Bois singularities, then $R$ has Du Bois singularities. Our result is new even when $R \to S$ is faithfully flat. Our…

We take a fresh look at the relationship between $K$-regularity and regularity of schemes, proving two results in this direction. First, we show that $K_2$-regular affine algebras over fields of characteristic zero are normal. Second, we…

We study the problem of smoothing Fano and Calabi-Yau varieties with isolated Du Bois lci singularities. For Fano varieties, we show that any such $Y$ admits a deformation to a Fano variety with only $1$-rational singularities, and if none…

We study the weighted spectrum and vanishing cohomology for several classes of isolated hypersurface singularities, and how they contribute to the limiting mixed Hodge structure of a smoothing. Applications are given to several types of…

We survey determinantal singularities, their deformations, and their topology. This class of singularities generalizes the well studied case of complete intersections in several different aspects, but exhibits a plethora of new phenomena…

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,…

The notion of strict singular characteristics is important in the wellposedness issue of singular dynamics on the cut locus of the viscosity solutions. We provide an intuitive and rigorous proof of the existence of the strict singular…

We characterize complete intersection matrix Schubert varieties, generalizing the classical result on one-sided ladder determinantal varieties. We also give a new proof of the F-rationality of matrix Schubert varieties. Although it is known…

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…
