Abstract

In this article, we study GG-covers of klt varieties, where GG is a reductive group. First, we exhibit an example of a klt singularity admitting a PGLn(K)\mathbb{P}{\rm GL}_n(\mathbb{K})-cover that is not of klt type. Then, we restrict ourselves to GG-quasi-torsors, a special class of GG-covers that behave like GG-torsors outside closed subsets of codimension two. Given a GG-quasi-torsor XYX\rightarrow Y, where GG is a finite extension of a torus T\mathbb{T}, we show that XX is of klt type if and only if YY is of klt type. We prove a structural theorem for T\mathbb{T}-quasi-torsors over normal varieties in terms of Cox rings. As an application, we show that every sequence of T\mathbb{T}-quasi-torsors over a variety with klt type singularities is eventually a sequence of T\mathbb{T}-torsors. This is the torus version of a result due to Greb-Kebekus-Peternell regarding finite quasi-torsors of varieties with klt type singularities. On the contrary, we show that in any dimension there exists a sequence of finite quasi-torsors and T\mathbb{T}-quasi-torsors over a klt type variety, such that infinitely many of them are not torsors. We show that every variety with klt type singularities is a quotient of a variety with canonical factorial singularities. We prove that a variety with Zariski locally toric singularities is indeed the quotient of a smooth variety by a solvable group. Finally, motivated by the work of Stibitz, we study the optimal class of singularities for which the previous results hold.
