Given an ambient variety $X$ and a fixed subvariety $Z$ we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a boundary $\Delta$ such that $Z$ is a log canonical center for the pair $(X, \Delta)$. We also show that under some additional…

Let $(X, \Delta)/U$ be klt pairs and $Q$ be a convex set of divisors. Assuming that the relative Kodaira dimensions are non-negative, then there are only finitely many log canonical models when the boundary divisors varying in a relatively…

If R is a local ring of dimension n, of a smooth complex variety, and if I is a zero dimensional ideal in R, then we prove that e(I)\geq n^n/lc(I)^n. Here e(I) is the Samuel multiplicity along I, and lc(I) is the log canonical threshold of…

We shall investigate index 1 covers of 2-dimensional log terminal singularities. The main result is that the index 1 cover is canonical if the characteristic of the base field is different from 2 or 3. We also give some counterexamples in…

We prove that one can run the log minimal model program for log canonical $3$-fold pairs in characteristic $p>5$. In particular we prove the Cone Theorem, Contraction Theorem, the existence of flips and the existence of log minimal models…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a projective log canonical pair such that $\Delta \geq A$ where $A \geq 0$ is an ample $\mathbb{R}$-divisor. We prove that either $(X,\Delta)$ has a good minimal model or a Mori fibre space. Moreover, if $X$ is…

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…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a 4-dimensional log variety which is proper over the field of complex numbers and with only divisorial log terminal singularities. The log canonical divisor $K_X+\Delta$ is semi-ample, if it is nef (numerically…

Semi-log canonical varieties are a higher-dimensional analogue of stable curves. They are the varieties appearing as the boundary $\Delta$ of a log canonical pair $(X,\Delta)$, and also appear as limits of canonically polarized varieties in…

Motivated by Shokurov's ACC Conjecture for log canonical thresholds, we propose an inductive point of view on singularities of pairs, in the case when the ambient variety is smooth. Our main result characterizes the log canonicity of a pair…

In this short note, we consider the conjecture that the log canonical divisor (resp. the anti-log canonical divisor) $K_X + \Delta$ (resp. $-(K_X + \Delta)$) on a pair $(X, \Delta)$ consisting of a complex projective manifold $X$ and a…

For a normal subvariety $V$ of ${\bf C}^n$ with a good ${\bf C}^*$-action we give a simple characterization for when it has only log canonical, log terminal or rational singularities. Moreover we are able to give formulas for the…

We give a method to investigate isolated log canonical singularities with index one which are not log terminal. Our method depends on the minimal model program. One of the main purposes is to prove that our invariant coincides with Ishii's…

For a fixed pair and fixed exponents, we prove the discreteness of log discrepancies over all log canonical triples formed by attaching a product of ideals with given exponents.

The log canonical thresholds of irreducible quasi-ordinary hypersurface singularities are computed, using an explicit list of pole candidates for the motivic zeta function found by the last two authors.

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…

Given a logarithmic $1$-form on the snc locus of a log canonical surface pair $(X, D)$ over a perfect field of characteristic $p \ge 7$, we show that it extends with at worst logarithmic poles to any resolution of singularities. We also…

We prove the normality of minimal log canonical centers on threefold pairs which residue fields are perfect of residue characteristics $p\neq 2,3 $ and $5$. We also show that the union of all log canonical centers on threefold pairs with…

In this article we prove the following boundedness result: Fix a DCC set $I\subset [0, 1]$. Let $\mathfrak{D}$ be the set of all log pairs $(X, \Delta)$ satisfying the following properties: (i) $X$ is a projective surface defined over an…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a log canonical pair over $\mathbb{C}$ with $X$ a normal projective variety, $\Delta$ an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor, and $K_X+\Delta$ nef. We give a non-vanishing criterion for $K_X+\Delta$ in dimension $n$ with $X$…
