We prove the termination of flips for 4-dimensional pseudo-effective NQC log canonical generalized pairs. As main ingredients, we verify the termination of flips for 3-dimensional NQC log canonical generalized pairs, and show that the…

Using a result of Demailly and Pham on log canonical thresholds, we give an upper bound for polar invariants from a question of Teissier on hypersurface singularities. This provides a weaker alternative upper bound compared to the one…

We find new lower bounds on the torsion orders of very general Fano hypersurfaces over (uncountable) fields of arbitrary characteristic. Our results imply that unirational parametrizations of most Fano hypersurfaces need to have enormously…

Given an open subset U of a projective curve Y and a smooth family f:V-->U of curves, with semi-stable reduction over Y, we show that for a sub variation of Hodge structures of rank >2 the Arakelov inequality must be strict. For families of…

It was shown by A. Beauville that if the canonical map $\varphi_{|K_M|}$ of a complex smooth projective surface $M$ is generically finite, then ${\rm deg}(\varphi_{|K_M|})\leq 36$. The first example of a surface with canonical degree 36 was…

Bayesian inference requires approximation methods to become computable, but for most of them it is impossible to quantify how close the approximation is to the true posterior. In this work, we present a theorem upper-bounding the KL…

This paper considers $n$-ribbon tilings of general regions and their per-tile entropy (the binary logarithm of the number of tilings divided by the number of tiles). We show that the per-tile entropy is bounded above by $\log_2 n$. This…

We show that static data structure lower bounds in the group (linear) model imply semi-explicit lower bounds on matrix rigidity. In particular, we prove that an explicit lower bound of $t \geq \omega(\log^2 n)$ on the cell-probe complexity…

We prove that the moduli b-divisor of an lc-trivial fibration from a log canonical pair is log abundant. The result follows from a theorem on the restriction of the moduli b-divisor, based on a theory of lc-trivial morphisms, which allows…

We introduce the notion of a relative log scheme with boundary: a morphism of log schemes together with a (log schematically) dense open immersion of its source into a third log scheme. The sheaf of relative log differentials naturally…

We show that minimal models of log canonical pairs exist, assuming the existence of minimal models of smooth varieties.

We show that the family of semi log canonical pairs with ample log canonical class and with fixed volume is bounded.

We use isoperimetric inequalities combined with a new technique to prove upper bounds for the site percolation threshold of plane graphs with given minimum degree conditions. In the process we prove tight new isoperimetric bounds for…

In the first part of the paper Beilinson's theorem on the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on P^n is extended to weighted projective spaces in a rather explicit form. To this purpose the usual category of coherent sheaves is…

In a first part of this paper, we prove constancy of the canonical graded Betti table among the smooth curves in linear systems on Gorenstein weak Fano toric surfaces. In a second part, we show that Green's canonical syzygy conjecture holds…

We generalize the rationality theorem of the accumulation points of log canonical thresholds which was proved by Hacon, M\textsuperscript{c}Kernan, and Xu. Further, we apply the rationality to the ACC problem on the minimal log…

We show that the higher direct images of smooth commutative group schemes from the Kummer log flat site to the classical flat site are torsion. For (1) smooth affine commutative schemes with geometrically connected fibers, (2) finite flat…

We prove that every log crepant birational morphism between log terminal surfaces is decomposed into log-flopping type divisorial contraction morphisms and log blow-downs. Repeating these two kinds of contractions we reach a minimal log…

For several applications in the arithmetic of abelian varieties it is important to compute canonical heights. Following Faltings and Hriljac, we show how the canonical height on the Jacobian of a smooth projective curve can be computed…

In this note, we give a bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a homogeneous ideal $I$ in terms of the degrees of its generators. We assume that $I$ defines a local complete intersection with log canonical singularities.
