The purely log terminal blow-ups of three-dimensional terminal toric singularities are described. The three-dimensional divisorial contractions $f\colon (Y,E)\to (X\ni P)$ are described provided that $\Exc f=E$ is an irreducible divisor,…

We study a pair consisting of a smooth 3-fold defined over an algebraically closed field and a general real ideal. We show that the minimal log discrepancy of every such a pair is computed by a prime divisor obtained by at most two weighted…

We discuss the problem of classifying birational extremal contractions of smooth threefolds where the canonical bundle is trivial along the curves contracted, in the case when a divisor is contracted to a point. We prove the analytic…

In this work, we consider the singular set in the thin obstacle problem with weight $|x_{n+1}|^a$ for $a\in (-1, 1)$, which arises as the local extension of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian (a non-local problem). We develop…

Let X be the blow-up of a smooth projective 4-fold Y along a smooth curve C and let E be the exceptional divisor. Assume that X is a Fano manifold and has an elementary extremal contraction $\phi: X \to Z$ of (3,1)-type such that E is…

All varieties, extremal contractions, singularities are divided on exceptional and non-exceptional ones. Roughly speaking, there are the infinite families of non-exceptional varieties, extremal contractions or singularities and only the…

Given a contraction of a variety X to a base Y, we enhance the locus in Y over which the contraction is not an isomorphism with a certain sheaf of noncommutative rings D, under mild assumptions which hold in the case of (1) crepant partial…

We consider ancient solutions to the mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ ($n \geq 3$) that are weakly convex, uniformly two-convex, and satisfy derivative estimates $|\nabla A| \leq \gamma_1 |H|^2, |\nabla^2 A| \leq \gamma_2 |H|^3$.…

We factorize three-dimensional terminal flops into a composition of divisorial contractions to points and blowing-up smooth curves.

In this paper we give a criterion for an isolated, hypersurface singularity of dimension $n\ (\geq 2)$ to have the canonical modification by means of a suitable weighted blow-up. Then we give a counter example to the following conjecture by…

Let $f\colon X\to S$ be an extremal contraction from a threefold with only terminal singularities to a surface. We study local analytic structure such contractions near degenerate fiber $C$ in the case when $C$ is irreducible and $X$ has on…

Let X/T be a one parameter family of canonical 3-folds and let D be a Weil divisor on it flat over T. We study the problem of when the D_t-minimal models of X_t form a family and we obtain conditions for this to happen. As an application of…

We show that any strictly mean convex translator of dimension $n\geq 3$ which admits a cylindrical estimate and a corresponding gradient estimate is rotationally symmetric. As a consequence, we deduce that any translating solution of the…

A fullness conjecture of Kuznetsov says that if a smooth projective variety $X$ admits a full exceptional collection of line bundles of length $l$, then any exceptional collection of line bundles of length $l$ is full. In this paper, we…

Generalizing the results of 1211.6077 and 1703.00905, we prove a formula for the pushforward of an arbitrary analytic function of the exceptional divisor class of a weighted blowup of an algebraic variety centered at a smooth complete…

We consider the conductivity problem in the presence of adjacent circular inclusions having arbitrary constant conductivity. When two inclusions get closer and their conductivities degenerate to zero or infinity, the gradient of the…

We consider spherically symmetric supercritical focusing wave equations outside a ball. Using mixed analytical and numerical methods, we show that the threshold for blowup is given by a codimension-one stable manifold of the unique static…

This is a continuation of the work of Arezzo-Pacard-Singer and the author on blowups of extremal K\"ahler manifolds. We prove the conjecture stated in [32], and we relate this result to the K-stability of blown up manifolds. As an…

We consider the blowup of a point of a compact K\"ahler manifold and a metric of the form $\mu^*h + t b$ on it, where $h$ is a K\"ahler metric on the original manifold and $b$ is Hermitian form that looks like the Fubini--Study metric near…

We study exceptional loci of F-blowups of normal toric varieties. In the $\Q$-factorial case, this study amounts to studying the exceptional loci of $G$-Hilbert schemes. We give a formula for the dimension of the center of a prime divisor…
