To construct a resulting model in LMMP is sufficient to prove existence of log flips and their termination for certain sequences. We prove that LMMP in dimension $d-1$ and termination of terminal log flips in dimension $d$ imply, for any…
The goal of this article is to survey recent developments in the theory of contact structures in dimension three.
We study Mori fiber spaces over a two-dimensional base which satisfy the semistability assumption. As an application of our technique we give a new proof of the existence of semistable 3-fold flips.

In this paper, we discuss a proof of existence of log minimal models or Mori fibre spaces for klt pairs $(X/Z,B)$ with $B$ big$/Z$. This then implies existence of klt log flips, finite generation of klt log canonical rings, and most of the…
The new idea of flip invariance of action functionals in multidimensional lattices was recently highlighted as a key feature of discrete integrable systems. Flip invariance was proved for several particular cases of integrable…
We prove a conjecture due to V.V. Shokurov on the boundedness of $\epsilon$-log canonical complements on surfaces. As an application we give a new proof to the boundedness of weak log Fano surfaces.
The more recent paper "Generic strange duality for K3 surfaces" by the authors contains stronger results.
Flip graphs of combinatorial and geometric objects are at the heart of many deep structural insights and connections between different branches of discrete mathematics and computer science. They also provide a natural framework for the…
The type of a complex projective plane curve has been recently introduced by T. Abe, P. Pokora and the first author. In the same paper they have studied the type two curves. In this paper we study plane curves of type three, with special…

This paper does three things: It proves a central limit theorem for novel permutation statistics (for example, the number of descents plus the number of descents in the inverse). It provides a clear illustration of a new approach to proving…
New elementary, self-contained proofs are presented for the topological and the smooth classification theorems of linear flows on finite-dimensional normed spaces. The arguments, and the examples that accompany them, highlight the…
In this note we prove the Borel Conjecture for closed, irreducible and sufficiently collapsed three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces. We also pose several questions related to characterization of fundamental groups of three-dimensional…
This paper is a complement of our recent works on the semilinear Tricomi equations in [8] and[9].
We extend Smirnov's proof of the existence and conformal invariance of the scaling limit of critical site-percolation on the triangular lattice to particular sequences of periodic graphs with more arbitrary large-scale structure, obtained…
This is a work in progress, far from being in its final form whose purpose is to investigate thoroughly the structure of Berkovich analytic curves and its relation with the semi-stable reduction theorem (of which a new proof is given here,…
We show the finite generation of certain invariant graded algebras defined on toric weak log Fano fibrations. These are the toric version of FGA algebras, recently introduced by Shokurov in connections to the existence of flips.
This note discusses recent new approaches to studying flopping curves on 3-folds. In a joint paper, the author and Michael Wemyss introduced a 3-fold invariant, the contraction algebra, which may be associated to such curves. It…
A triangulation of a polygon is a subdivision of it into triangles, using diagonals between its vertices. Two different triangulations of a polygon can be related by a sequence of flips: a flip replaces a diagonal by the unique other…
