The minimal log discrepancy is an invariant of singularities that plays an important role in the birational classification of algebraic varieties. Shokurov conjectured that the minimal log discrepancy can always be bounded from above in…
We describe the set of minimal log discrepancies of toric log varities, and study its accumulation points.
We give an upper bound for the minimal discrepancies of hypersurface singularities. As an application, we show that Shokurov's conjecture is true for log-terminal threefolds.
We show the semi-continuity property of minimal log discrepancies for varieties which have a crepant resolution in the category of Deligne-Mumford stacks. Using this property, we also prove the ideal-adic semi-continuity problem for toric…
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 survey the known and expected properties of the minimal log discrepancy, the local invariant of a log variety.
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…
In this paper, we show that Shokurov's conjectures on the ACC for $a$-lc thresholds and the ACC for minimal log discrepancies are equivalent in the interval $[0,1)$. That is, the conjecture on ACC for $a$-lc thresholds holds for every…
This is the major revision. The main purpose of this paper is to prove that minimal discrepancies of $n$-dimensional toric singularities can accumulate only from above and only to minimal discrepancies of toric singularities of dimension…
Following Shokurov's ideas, we give a short proof of the following klt version of his result: termination of terminal log flips in dimension d implies that any klt pair of dimension d has a log minimal model or a Mori fibre space. Thus, in…
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…
We formulate a comparison of minimal log discrepancies of a variety and its ambient space with appropriate boundaries in terms of motivic integration. It was obtained also by Ein and Musta\c{t}\v{a} independently.
We study the conjecture due to V.\,V. Shokurov on characterization of toric varieties. We also consider one generalization of this conjecture. It is shown that none of the characterizations holds true in dimension $\ge 3$. Some weaker…
We completely prove the ACC for minimal log discrepancies on smooth threefolds. It implies on smooth threefolds the ACC for a-lc thresholds, the uniform m-adic semi-continuity of minimal log discrepancies and the boundedness of the log…
We prove the ACC conjecture for local volumes. Moreover, when the local volume is bounded away from zero, we prove Shokurov's ACC conjecture for minimal log discrepancies.
On smooth threefolds, the ACC for minimal log discrepancies is equivalent to the boundedness of the log discrepancy of some divisor which computes the minimal log discrepancy. We reduce it to the case when the boundary is the product of a…
We prove that the ACC conjecture for minimal log discrepancies holds for threefolds in $[1-\delta,+\infty)$, where $\delta>0$ only depends on the coefficient set. We also study Reid's general elephant for pairs, and show Shokurov's…
For a toric log variety with standard coefficients, we show that the minimal log discrepancy at a closed invariant point bounds the Cartier index of a neighbourhood.
We introduce an approach of Riemann--Roch theorem to the boundedness problem of minimal log discrepancies in fixed dimension. After reducing it to the case of a Gorenstein terminal singularity, firstly we prove that its minimal log…
Let T_n denote the set of log canonical thresholds of pairs (X,Y), with X a nonsingular variety of dimension n, and Y a nonempty closed subscheme of X. Using non-standard methods, we show that every limit of a decreasing sequence in T_n…
