Given a three-dimensional projective log canonical pair over a perfect field of characteristic larger than five, there exists a minimal model program that terminates after finitely many steps.

In this paper, we show that the depth of an isolated log canonical center is determined by the cohomology of the -1 discrepancy diviors over it. A similar result also holds for normal isolated Du Bois singularities.

We show that if a divisor centered over a point on a smooth surface computes a minimal log discrepancy, then the divisor also computes a log canonical threshold. To prove the result, we study the asymptotic log canonical threshold of the…

1) Assuming log Minimal Model Conjecture, we give a construction of a complete moduli space of stable log pairs of arbitrary dimension generalizing directly the space M_{g,n} of pointed stable curves. Each stable pair has semi log canonical…

A singularity is said to be exceptional (in the sense of V. Shokurov), if for any log canonical boundary, there is at most one exceptional divisor of discrepancy -1. In our previous paper (math.AG/9805004) we found two examples of…

We study relative log canonical pairs with relatively trivial log canonical divisors. We fix such a pair $(X,\Delta)/Z$ and establish the minimal model theory for the pair $(X,\Delta)$ assuming the minimal model theory for all Kawamata log…

We prove that the log canonical thresholds of a large class of binomial ideals, such as complete intersection binomial ideals and the defining ideals of space monomial curves, are computable by linear programming.

Let $X$ be a minimal projective 3-fold of general type. The pluricanonical section index $\delta(X)$ is defined to be the minimal integer $m$ so that $P_{m}(X)\geq 2$. According to Chen-Chen, one has either $1\leq \delta(X)\leq 15$ or…

We answer the following long-standing question of Kolchin: given a system of algebraic-differential equations $\Sigma(x_1,\dots,x_n)=0$ in $m$ derivatives over a differential field of characteristic zero, is there a computable bound, that…

We show that there exists a positive real number $\delta>0$ such that for any normal quasi-projective $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein $3$-fold $X$, if $X$ has worse than canonical singularities, that is, the minimal log discrepancy of $X$ is less…

In this paper, given a simple linear recurrence sequence of algebraic numbers, which has either a dominant characteristic root or exactly two characteristic roots of maximal modulus, we give some explicit lower bounds for the index beyond…

We characterize the ideals $I$ of $\mathcal O_n$ of finite colength whose integral closure is equal to the integral closure of an ideal generated by pure monomials. This characterization, which is motivated by an inequality proven by…

We present a procedure for computing the log-canonical threshold of an arbitrary ideal generated by binomials and monomials. The computation of the log canonical threshold is reduced to the problem of computing the minimum of a function,…

Let $f:X\to U$ be a projective morphism of normal varieties and $(X,\Delta)$ a dlt pair. We prove that if there is an open set $U^0\subset U$, such that $(X,\Delta)\times_U U^0$ has a good minimal model over $U^0$ and the images of all the…

We show that log canonical thresholds of fixed dimension are standardized. More precisely, we show that any sequence of log canonical thresholds in fixed dimension $d$ accumulates in a way which is i) either similar to how standard and…

In this paper, we study the singularities of a pair (X,Y) in arbitrary characteristic via jet schemes. For a smooth variety X in characteristic 0, Ein, Lazarsfeld and Mustata showed that there is a correspondence between irreducible closed…

Let $k$ be an $F$-finite field containing an infinite perfect field of positive characteristic. Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a projective log canonical pair over $k$. In this note we show that, for a semi-ample divisor $D$ on $X$, there exists an…

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…

Let $X$ be a projective Frobenius split variety over an algebraically closed field with splitting $\theta : F_* \O_X \to \O_X$. In this paper we give a sharp bound on the number of subvarieties of $X$ compatibly split by $\theta$. In…

We show that a weak version of the canonical bundle formula holds for fibrations of relative dimension one. We provide various applications thereof, for instance, using the recent result of Xu and Zhang, we prove the log non-vanishing…
