A "practical number" is a positive integer $n$ such that every positive integer less than $n$ can be written as a sum of distinct divisors of $n$. We prove that most of the binomial coefficients are practical numbers. Precisely, letting…

In this paper, we revisit the problem of classifying real algebraic and semialgebraic sets by their topological types, focusing on establishing the effectiveness of bounds rather than deriving new quantitative estimates. Building on Hardt's…

Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a four-dimensional log variety that is projective over the field of complex numbers. Assume that $(X, \Delta)$ is not Kawamata log terminal (klt) but divisorial log terminal (dlt). First we introduce the notion of "log…

For a birational analogue of minimal elliptic surfaces X/Y, the singularities of the fibers define a log structure in codimension one on Y. Via base change, we have a log structure in codimension one on Y', for any birational model Y' of Y.…

We prove a logarithmic base change theorem for pushforwards of pluri-canonical bundles and use it to deduce that positivity properties of log canonical divisors descend via smooth projective morphisms. As an application, for a surjective…

We express the Segre class of a monomial scheme in projective space in terms of log canonical thresholds of associated ideals. Explicit instances of the relation amount to identities involving the classical polygamma functions.

If a linear differential operator with rational function coefficients is reducible, its factors may have coefficients with numerators and denominatorsof very high degree. When the base field is $\mathbb C$, we give a completely explicit…

A plurisubharmonic weight is log canonical if it is at the critical point of turning non-integrable. Given a log canonical plurisubharmonic weight, we show that locally there always exists a log canonical `holomorphic' weight having the…

We study lower bounds for the self-intersection of the canonical divisor of "canonical varieties" (i.e. varieties whose canonical linear system gives a birational map). We give some improvements for the known results in the case of surfaces…

We prove that a log surface has only finitely many weakly log canonical projective models with klt singularities up to log isomorphism, by reducing the problem to the boundedness of their polarization.

A theorem is established where the computation of the discrete Conley index for zero dimensional basic sets is given with respect to the dynamical information contained in the associated structure matrices. A classification of the reduced…

We treat two different topics on the log minimal model program, especially for four-dimensional log canonical pairs. (a) Finite generation of the log canonical ring in dimension four. (b) Abundance theorem for irregular fourfolds. We obtain…

Pairwise comparison matrices often exhibit inconsistency, therefore many indices have been suggested to measure their deviation from a consistent matrix. A set of axioms has been proposed recently that is required to be satisfied by any…

We study identities of finite dimensional algebras over a field of characteristic zero, graded by an arbitrary groupoid $\Gamma$. First we prove that its graded colength has a polynomially bounded growth. For any graded simple algebra $A$…

For a fixed singular modulus $\alpha$, we give an effective lower bound of norm of $x-\alpha$ for another singular modulus $x$ with large discriminant. We then generalize this result for $\Phi_m(x,\alpha)$, where $\Phi_m(X,Y) \in \Z[X,Y]$…

In this paper we consider the problem of finding explicitly canonical ideals of one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings. We show that Gorenstein ideals contained in a high power of the maximal ideal are canonical ideals. In the…

We study log canonical thresholds on quartic threefolds, quintic fourfolds, and double spaces. As an application, we show that they have a Kaehler-Einstein metric if they are general.

Let $f: X \to Z$ be a fibration from a normal projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ onto a normal curve $Z$ over a perfect field of characteristic $p>2$. Let $(X, B)$ be a dlt pair such that the induced pair on a general fibre is log…

First we find effective bounds for the number of dominant rational maps $f:X \rightarrow Y$ between two fixed smooth projective varieties with ample canonical bundles. The bounds are of the type $\{A \cdot K_X^n\}^{\{B \cdot K_X^n\}^2}$,…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive linear algebraic group. We consider the normal $G$-varieties with horospherical orbits. In this short note, we provide a criterion to determine whether these varieties have at most canonical, log canonical…
