We prove that if Y is a hypersurface of degree d in P^n with isolated singularities, then the log canonical threshold of (P^n,Y) is at least min{n/d,1}. Moreover, if d is at least n+1, then we have equality if and only if Y is the…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m}) $ be a Gorenstein local ring of dimension $d > 0$ and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ such that $(0) \ne I \subsetneq R$ and $R/I$ is a Cohen-Macaulay ring of dimension $d$. There is given a complete answer to the question…

We construct canonical $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial Gorenstein affine fourfolds in every positive characteristic that are not quasi-$F$-split.

Grothendieck proved in EGA IV that if any integral scheme of finite type over a locally noetherian scheme X admits a desingularization, then X is quasi-excellent, and conjectured that the converse is probably true. We prove this conjecture…

Let $X$ be a smooth threefold over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We prove that an arbitrary flop of $X$ is smooth. To this end, we study Gorenstein curves of genus one and two-dimensional elliptic singularities…

Let $f:X@>>>\Bbb P^1$ be a fibered surface with fibers of genus g>1. If f is semistable and non isotrivial we prove that X of non negative Kodaira dimension implies that the number s of singular fibers is at least 5. Information about the…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative complete equicharacteristic Gorenstein isolated singularity of dimension $d $ with $k = A/\mathfrak{m}$ algebraically closed. Let $\Gamma(A)$ be the AR (Auslander-Reiten) quiver of $A$. Let…

Hochster and Huneke showed that the property of F-regularity deforms for Gorenstein rings, i.e., if (R,m) is a Gorenstein local ring such that R/tR is F-regular for some nonzerodivisor t in m, then R is F-regular. This result was later…

In this paper we discuss trace properties of $d^+$-summable $K$-cycles considered by A.Connes in [\rfr(Conn4)]. More precisely we give a proof of a trace theorem on the algebra $\A$ of a $K$--cycle stated in [\rfr(Conn4)], namely we show…

Let W -> X be a real smooth projective threefold fibred by rational curves. Koll\'ar proved that if W(R) is orientable a connected component N of W(R) is essentially either a Seifert fibred manifold or a connected sum of lens spaces. Let k…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent equi-charateristic Gorenstein isolated singularity of dimension $d \geq 2$. Assume the residue field of $A$ is perfect. Let $I$ be any $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Let $G_I(A) = \bigoplus_{n \geq…

We classify Gorenstein stable numerical Godeaux surfaces with worse than canonical singularities and compute their fundamental groups.

Grothendieck proved that any locally free sheaf on a projective line over a field (uniquely) decomposes into a direct sum of line bundles. Ishii and Uehara construct an analogue of Grothendieck's theorem for pure sheaves on the fundamental…

We show that a properly stratified algebra is Gorenstein if and only if the characteristic tilting module coincides with the characteristic cotilting module. We further show that properly stratified Gorenstein algebras $A$ enjoy strong…

Let $I ~(\ne A)$ be an ideal of a $d$-dimensional Noetherian local ring $A$ with $\operatorname{ht}_AI \ge 2$, containing a non-zerodivisor. The problem of when the ring $I:I=\operatorname{End}_AI$ is Gorenstein is studied, in connection…

We generalize, for integral curves, a celebrated result of Max Noether on global sections of the n-dualizing sheaf of a smooth nonhyperelliptic curve. This is our main result. We also obtain an embedding of a non-Gorenstein curve in a way…

According to a well-known theorem of Brieskorn and Slodowy, the intersection of the nilpotent cone of a simple Lie algebra with a transverse slice to the subregular nilpotent orbit is a simple surface singularity. At the opposite extremity…

A relatively compressed algebra with given socle degrees is an Artinian quotient $A$ of a given graded algebra $R/\fc$, whose Hilbert function is maximal among such quotients with the given socle degrees. For us $\fc$ is usually a…

We study reflexive ideals in one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings, providing characterizations of almost Gorenstein rings, rings with minimal multiplicity, and Arf rings, which describe their reflexive fractional ideals.
