We construct a normal projective $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein surface over an algebraically closed field whose canonical ring is not finitely generated. Moreover, we provide a counterexample to the minimal model program for…

The $F$-pure threshold is the characteristic $p$ counter part of the log canonical threshold in characteristic zero. It is a numerical invariant associated to the singularities of a variety, hence computing its value is important. We give a…

We further the classification of rational surface singularities. Suppose $(S, \mathfrak{n}, \mathcal{k})$ is a strictly Henselian regular local ring of mixed characteristic $(0, p > 5)$. We classify functions $f$ for which $S/(f)$ has an…

We discuss the relationship between the trace ideal of the canonical module and pseudo-Gorensteinness. In particular, under certain mild assumptions, we show that every pseudo-Gorenstein nearly Gorenstein graded domain is Gorenstein. As an…

Let $(A, \mathfrak{m})$ be a Gorenstein local ring, and $\mathcal{F} =\{F_n \}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}$ a Hilbert filtration. In this paper, we give a criterion for Gorensteinness of the associated graded ring of $\mathcal{F}$ in terms of the…

Let $(A,{\mathfrak m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring and let $I$ be an ideal of $A$. We prove that the Rees algebra ${\mathcal R}(I)$ is an almost Gorenstein ring in the following cases: (1) $(A,{\mathfrak m})$ is a two-dimensional…

In this paper we consider reduced (non-normal) commutative noetherian rings $R$. With the help of conductor ideals and trace ideals of certain $R$-modules we deduce a criterion for a reflexive $R$-module to be closed under multiplication…

Given a free resolution of an ideal $\mathfrak a$ of holomorpic functions there is an associated residue current $R$ that coincides with the classical Coleff-Herrera product if $\mathfrak a$ is a complete intersection ideal and whose…

In this note we study trace ideals of canonical modules. Characterizations of the trace ideals in terms of annihilators of certain Ext modules are given. We apply our results to study many classes of rings close to being Gorenstein that…

We shall consider minimal analytic compactifications of the affine plane with singularities. In previous work, Kojima and Takahashi proved that any minimal analytic compactification of the affine plane, which has at worse log canonical…

It is well known that the exceptional set in a resolution of a rational surface singularity is a tree of rational curves. We generalize the combinatoric part of this statement to higher dimensions and show that the highest cohomologies of…

We show that if $f$ is a nonzero, noninvertible function on a smooth complex variety $X$ and $J_f$ is the Jacobian ideal of $f$, then ${\rm lct}(f,J_f^2)>1$ if and only if the hypersurface defined by $f$ has rational singularities.…

We give a generalization of the duality of a zero-dimensional complete intersection to the case of one-dimensional almost complete intersections, which results in a {\em Gorenstein module} $M=I/J$. In the real case the resulting pairing has…

It is a conjecture of Koll\'ar that a variety $X$ with rational singularities in some open subvariety $U$ has a rationalification; that is, a proper, birational morphism $f: Y \rightarrow X$ such that $Y$ has rational singularities, and…

Let I be an m-primary ideal of a Noetherian local ring (R,m). We consider the Gorenstein and complete intersection properties of the associated graded ring G(I) and the fiber cone F(I) of I as reflected in their defining ideals as…

We examine some recent work of Phillip Griffith on \'etale covers and fibered products from the point of view of tight closure theory. While it is known that cyclic covers of Gorenstein rings with rational singularities are Cohen-Macaulay,…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$, and let $A$ be an Artinian Gorenstein local commutative and Noetherian $K$--algebra, with maximal ideal $M$. In the present paper we prove a structure theorem describing such…

Given a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m},k)$, we prove that it is almost Gorenstein if and only if $\mathfrak{m}$ is a canonical module of the ring $\mathfrak{m}:\mathfrak{m}$. Then, we generalize this result by…

We study the following generalization of singularity categories. Let X be a quasi-projective Gorenstein scheme with isolated singularities and A a non-commutative resolution of singularities of X in the sense of Van den Bergh. We introduce…

We give sufficient conditions for a Frobenius category to be equivalent to the category of Gorenstein projective modules over an Iwanaga-Gorenstein ring. We then apply this result to the Frobenius category of special Cohen-Macaulay modules…
