In this paper, we completely work out the log minimal model program for the moduli space of stable curves of genus three. We employ a rational multiple $\alpha\delta$ of the divisor $\delta$ of singular curves as the boundary divisor,…

Stable surfaces and their log analogues are the type of varieties naturally occuring as boundary points in moduli spaces. We extend classical results of Kodaira and Bombieri to this more general setting: if $(X,\Delta)$ is a stable log…

Let $E$ be the essential part of the exceptional locus of a good resolution of an isolated, log canonical singularity of index one. We describe the dimension of the dual complex of $E$ in terms of the Hodge type of $H^{n-1}(E, O_E)$, which…

We prove that the class of log canonical rational singularities is closed under the basic operations of the minimal model program. We also give some supplementary results on the minimal model program for log canonical surfaces.

We compare the minimal model of a log canonical pair with the minimal model of its reduced boundary. These results are then used to study the existence of the minimal model of a semi-log-canonical pair using its normalization.

We give a topological bound on the number of minimal models of a class of three dimensional log smooth pairs of general type.

Let V be a smooth projective 3-fold of general type. Denote by $K^3$, a rational number, the self-intersection of the canonical sheaf of any minimal model of V. One defines $K^3$ as the canonical volume of $V$. Assume $p_g\ge 2$. We show…

We define the "source" and the "spring" of a log canonical center and use them to solve several problems in higher-codimension adjunction. The main application is to the construction of semi log canonical pairs. Version 2: References…

This note presents absolute bounds on the size of the coefficients of the characteristic and minimal polynomials depending on the size of the coefficients of the associated matrix. Moreover, we present algorithms to compute more precise…

We prove that the log canonical ring of a klt pair of dimension $3$ with $\mathbb{Q}$-boundary over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>5$ is finitely generated. In the process we prove log abundance for such pairs in the…

In this paper we study the index of reducibility of powers of a standard parameter ideal. An explicit formula is proved for the extremely case. We apply the main result to compute Hilbert polynomials of socle ideals of standard parameter…

We classify log-canonical pairs $(X, \Delta)$ of dimension two with $K_X+\Delta$ an ample Cartier divisor with $(K_X+\Delta)^2=1$, giving some applications to stable surfaces with $K^2=1$. A rough classification is also given in the case…

We prove that for $n \leq 4$ and $p > 5$, quasi--Gorenstein $F$--pure and $\mathbb{Q}_p$--rational $n$--fold singularities are canonical. This is analogous to the usual fact that rational Gorenstein singularities are canonical. The proof is…

We introduce a diophantine property of a log canonical algebra, and use it to describe the restriction of a log canonical algebra of general type to a log canonical center of codimension one.

The purpose of this article is to develop techniques for estimating basis log canonical thresholds on logarithmic surfaces. To that end, we develop new local intersection estimates that imply log canonicity. Our main motivation and…

An $L$-spherical code is a set of Euclidean unit vectors whose pairwise inner products belong to the set $L$. We show, for a fixed $\alpha,\beta>0$, that the size of any $[-1,-\beta]\cup\{\alpha\}$-spherical code is at most linear in the…

We show that if $(X,B)$ is a log canonical pair with $\dim X\geq d+2$, whose non-klt centers have dimension $\geq d$, then $X$ is has depth $\ge d+2$ at every closed point.

There is a proposition due to Koll\'ar 1997 on computing log canonical thresholds of certain hypersurface germs using weighted blowups, which we extend to weighted blowups with non-negative weights. Using this, we show that the log…

An ideal of a local polynomial ring can be described by calculating a standard basis with respect to a local monomial ordering. However standard basis algorithms are not numerically stable. Instead we can describe the ideal numerically by…
