We establish an optimal upper bound for local volumes of Gorenstein canonical non-hypersurface threefold singularities. Specifically, we show that a klt threefold singularity with local volume at least $9$ is either a hypersurface…

We prove that if $\phi:(X,0)\to (X,0)$ is a finite endomorphism of an isolated singularity such that $\operatorname{deg}(\phi)\geq 2$ and $\phi$ is \'etale in codimension 1, then $X$ is $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein and log canonical.

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be an $n$-dimensional $\epsilon$-klt log $\QQ$-Fano pair. We give an upper bound for the volume ${\rm Vol}(-(K_X+\Delta))=(-(K_X+\Delta))^n$ when $n=2$ or $n=3$ and $X$ is {$\QQ$-factorial} of $\rho(X)=1$. This bound is…

We show that in any $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein flat family of klt singularities, normalized volumes are lower semicontinuous with respect to the Zariski topology. A quick consequence is that smooth points have the largest normalized volume…

We study the normalized volume of toric singularities. As it turns out, there is a close relation to the notion of (non-symmetric) Mahler volume from convex geometry. This observation allows us to use standard tools from convex geometry,…

We show that in any $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein flat family of klt singularities, normalized volumes can only jump down at countably many subvarieties. A quick consequence is that smooth points have the largest normalized volume among all klt…

We introduce a notion of volume of a normal isolated singularity that generalizes Wahl's characteristic number of surface singularities to arbitrary dimensions. We prove a basic monotonicity property of this volume under finite morphisms.…

This paper provides a method to get a noetherian equicharacteristic local UFD with an isolated singularity from a given noetherian complete equicharacteristic local ring, preserving certain properties. This is applied to invesitgate the…

We show that a set of K-semistable log Fano cone singularities is bounded if and only if their local volumes are bounded away from zero, and their minimal log discrepancies of Koll\'ar components are bounded from above. As corollaries, we…

In this paper we study a notion of volume for Cartier divisors on arbitrary blow-ups of normal complex algebraic varieties of dimension greater than one, with a distinguished point. We apply this to study a volume for normal isolated…

For any $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein klt singularity $(X,o)$, we introduce a normalized volume function $\widehat{\rm vol}$ that is defined on the space of real valuations centered at $o$ and consider the problem of minimizing $\widehat{\rm…

Let $G$ be a higher rank simple real algebraic group, or more generally, any semisimple real algebraic group with no rank one factors and $X$ the associated Riemannian symmetric space. For any Zariski dense discrete subgroup $\Gamma<G$, we…

In this paper, we study the volume of algebraically integrable foliations and locally stable families. We show that, for any canonical algebraically integrable foliation, its volume belongs to a discrete set depending only on its rank and…

Recent study in K-stability suggests that klt singularities whose local volumes are bounded away from zero should be bounded up to special degeneration. We show that this is true in dimension three, or when the minimal log discrepancies of…

We extend the notion of the cardinality of a discrete groupoid (equal to the Euler characteristic of the corresponding discrete orbifold) to the setting of Lie groupoids. Since this quantity is an invariant under equivalence of groupoids,…

An orbifold $X$ is locally homeomorphic to $G_x\backslash B_r(0)$, where $G_x$ is a finite group acting on $B_r(0)\subset{\mathbb R}^n$, so that $G_x(0)=0$. For collapsing orbifolds with isolated singularities, we show there is a uniform…

Gorenstein isolated quotient singularities of odd prime dimension are cyclic. In the case where the dimension is bigger than 1 and is not an odd prime number, then there exist Gorenstein isolated non-cyclic quotient singularities.

In this paper, we discuss a generalization of log canonical singularities in the non-$\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein setting. We prove that if a normal complex projective variety has a non-invertible polarized endomorphism, then it has log…

We construct an explicit lower bound for the volume of a complex hyperbolic orbifold that depends only on dimension.

We introduce the restricted local volume of a relatively very ample invertible sheaf as an invariant of equisingularity by determining its change across families. We apply this result to give numerical control of Whitney-Thom (differential)…
