Abstract

Let (X,F)(X,\mathcal{F}) be a foliated surface over the complex numbers. We study the variation of ϵ\epsilon-adjoint singularities, defined by the adjoint divisor KF+ϵKXK_{\mathcal{F}}+\epsilon K_X (ϵ>0\epsilon>0), and analyze their stability as ϵ\epsilon varies. We prove that a sharp first stability threshold occurs at ϵ=1/5\epsilon=1/5: for ϵ(0,1/5)\epsilon \in (0,1/5), every ϵ\epsilon-adjoint log canonical singularity is foliated log canonical, while at ϵ=1/5\epsilon=1/5 a boundary configuration enters the admissible region. In the adjoint canonical setting, the maximal stability interval is ϵ(0,1/4)\epsilon \in (0,1/4). Both thresholds are optimal and arise from explicit extremal configurations. These results are obtained via a complete classification of ϵ\epsilon-adjoint log canonical singularities for ϵ(0,1/3)\epsilon \in (0,1/3) in terms of negative definite exceptional configurations.
