We systematically introduce and study a new type of singularities, namely, exceptionally non-canonical (enc) singularities. This class of singularities plays an important role in the study of many questions in birational geometry, and has…
We study a pair consisting of a smooth variety over a field of positive characteristic and a multi-ideal with a real exponent. We prove the finiteness of the set of minimal log discrepancies for a fixed exponent if the dimension is less…
If $(X, \mcF, \D)$ is a projective rank two foliated log canonical triple such that $(X,B)$ is klt for some $0 \leq B \leq \D$, we show that we can run a $(K_\mcF +\Delta)$-MMP and any such MMP terminates with either a minimal model or Mori…
We show that the minimal log discrepancy of any isolated Fano cone singularity is at most the dimension of the variety. This is based on its relation with dimensions of moduli spaces of orbifold rational curves. We also propose a…
In this article we prove the existence of pl-flipping and divisorial contractions and pl flips in dimension $n$ for compact K\"ahler varieties, assuming results of the minimal model program in dimension $n-1$. We also give a self contained…
The first aim of this note is to give a concise, but complete and self-contained, presentation of the fundamental theorems of Mori theory - the nonvanishing, base point free, rationality and cone theorems - using modern methods of…
We survey some recent topics on singularities, with a focus on their connection to the minimal model program. This includes the construction and properties of dual complexes, the proof of the ACC conjecture for log canonical thresholds and…
It is known that the set of log canonical thresholds (lcts) on any varieties with fixed dimension satisfies the ascending chain condition. Inspired by the foliated minimal model program, it is intriguing to study the foliated version of…
We prove the existence of flips for $\mathbb Q$-factorial NQC generalized lc pairs, and the cone and contraction theorems for NQC generalized lc pairs. This answers a question of C. Birkar which was conjectured by J. Han and Z. Li. As an…
We introduce linearly decomposable (LD) generalized pairs, which serve as a workable substitute for rational decompositions in the non-NQC setting. Using LD generalized pairs, together with a refinement of special termination and…
Under the assumption of the minimal model theory for projective klt pairs of dimension $n$, we establish the minimal model theory for lc pairs $(X/Z,\Delta)$ such that the log canonical divisor is relatively log abundant and its restriction…
We survey the known and expected properties of the minimal log discrepancy, the local invariant of a log variety.
We show the existence of prime divisors computing minimal log discrepancies in positive characteristic except for a special case. Moreover we prove the lower semicontinuity of minimal log discrepancies for smooth varieties in positive…
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 compute the minimal log discrepancies of determinantal varieties of square matrices, and more generally of pairs $\bigl(D^k,\sum \alpha_i D^{k_i}\bigr)$ consisting of a determinantal variety (of square matrices) and an $\mathbb R$-linear…
Shokurov's ACC Conjecture says that the set of all log canonical thresholds on varieties of bounded dimension satisfies the Ascending Chain Condition. This conjecture was proved for log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties in [EM1].…
We will prove the following results for $3$-fold pairs $(X,B)$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>5$: log flips exist for $\Q$-factorial dlt pairs $(X,B)$; log minimal models exist for projective klt pairs $(X,B)$…
This paper characterizes singularities with Mather minimal log discrepancies in the highest unit interval, i.e., the interval between $d-1$ and $d$, where $d$ is the dimension of the scheme. The class of these singularities coincides with…
The second largest accumulation point of the set of minimal log discrepancies of threefolds is $\frac{5}{6}$. In particular, the minimal log discrepancies of $\frac{5}{6}$-lc threefolds satisfy the ACC.
We prove the existence of pl-flips.
