We prove a precise inversion of adjunction formula for the log pair associated to a non-degenerate hypersurface. As a corollary, the minimal log discrepancies of non-degenerate normal hypersurface singularities are bounded from above by dimension.
We first announce our recent result on adjunction and inversion of adjunction. Then we clarify the relationship between our inversion of adjunction and Hacon's inversion of adjunction for log canonical centers of arbitrary codimension.
We prove a result on the inversion of adjunction for log canonical pairs that generalizes Kawakita's result to log canonical centers of arbitrary codimension.
We use the theory of motivic integration for singular spaces to give a characterization of minimal log discrepencies in terms of the codimension of certain subsets of spaces of arcs. This is done for arbitrary pairs $(X,Y)$, with $X$ normal and Q-Gorenstein. As a first application, we prove a precise version of Inversion of Adjunction, in the case when the ambient variety is smooth. Another application concerns the semicontinuity of minimal log discrepancies on smooth varieties.
In this note we build on our previous work with Takehiko Yasuda to prove a precise version of inversion of adjunction for varieties which are local complete intersections.
We study the relation between a certain graded part of the Jacobian ring of a projective hypersurface and a certain graded quotient for the Hodge filtration of its primitive cohomology, in the case that the hypersurface has at most isolated singularities. We distinguish a class of singularities for which this relation is best possible. The main examples refer to the surface case.
In this article we give two independent proofs of the positive characteristic analog of the log terminal inversion of adjunction. We show that for a pair $(X, S+B)$ in characteristic $p>0$, if $(S^n, B_{S^n})$ is strongly $F$-regular, then $S$ is normal and $(X, S+B)$ is purely $F$-regular near $S$. We also answer affirmatively an open question about the equality of $F$-Different and Different.
We prove several results about the behavior Du Bois singularities and Du Bois pairs in families. Some of these generalize existing statements about Du Bois singularities to the pair setting while others are new even in the non-pair setting. We also prove a new inversion of adjunction result for Du Bois and rational pairs. In the non-pair setting this asserts that if a family over a smooth base has a special fiber $X_0$ with Du Bois singularities and the general fiber has rational singularities, then the total space has rational singularities near $X_0$.
We generalize the notions of F-regular and F-pure rings to pairs $(R,\a^t)$ of rings $R$ and ideals $\a \subset R$ with real exponent $t > 0$, and investigate these properties. These ``F-singularities of pairs'' correspond to singularities of pairs of arbitrary codimension in birational geometry. Via this correspondence, we prove Inversion of Adjunction of arbitrary codimension, which states that for a pair $(X,Y)$ of a smooth variety $X$ and a closed subscheme $Y \subsetneq X$, if the restriction $(Z, Y|_Z)$ to a normal $\Q$-Gorenstein closed subvariety $Z \subsetneq X$ is klt (resp. lc), the…
In the present paper, we derive an adjunction formula for the Grauert-Riemenschneider canonical sheaf of a singular hypersurface V in a complex manifold M. This adjunction formula is used to study the problem of extending L2-cohomology classes of dbar-closed forms from the singular hypersurface V to the manifold M in the spirit of the Ohsawa-Takegoshi-Manivel extension theorem. We do that by showing that our formulation of the L2-extension problem is invariant under bimeromorphic modifications, so that we can reduce the problem to the smooth case by use of an embedded resolution of V in M. The…
Let $(R,Δ+D)$ be a log $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein pair where $R$ is a Noetherian, $F$-finite, normal, local domain of characteristic $p > 0$, $Δ$ is an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor and $D$ is an integral $\mathbb{Q}$-Cartier divisor. We show that the left derivative of the $F$-signature function $s(R,Δ+ tD)$ at $t = 1$ is equal to $-s(\mathcal{O}_D, \mathrm{Diff}_D(Δ))$. This equality is interpreted as a quantitative form of inversion of adjunction for strong $F$-regularity. As an immediate corollary, we obtain the inequality $s(R,Δ) \geq s(\mathcal{O}_D, \mathrm{Diff}_D(Δ))$. We also discuss t…
We prove that every non-trivial structure of a rationally connected fibre space (and so every structure of a Mori-Fano fibre space) on a general (in the sense of Zariski topology) hypersurface of degree $M$ in the $(M+1)$-dimensional projective space for $M\geq 14$ is given by a pencil of hyperplane sections. In particular, the variety $V$ is non-rational and its group of birational self-maps coincide with the group of biregular automorphisms and is therefore trivial. The proof is based on the techniques of the method of maximal singularities and the inversion of adjunction.
We prove the Angehrn-Siu Type effective freeness and effective point separation for quasi-log canonical pairs. As a natural consequence, we obtain that these two results hold for semi-log canonical pairs. One of the main ingredients of our proof is the inversion of adjunction for quasi-log canonical pairs, which is established in this paper.
This paper presents two approaches to reducing problems on $2$-cycles on a smooth cubic hypersurface $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $\neq 2$, to problems on $1$-cycles on its variety of lines $F(X)$. The first one relies on bitangent lines of $X$ and Tsen-Lang theorem. It allows to prove that $\mathrm{CH}_2(X)$ is generated, via the action of the universal $\mathbb P^1$-bundle over $F(X)$, by $\mathrm{CH}_1(F(X))$. When the characteristic of the base field is $0$, we use that result to prove that if $dim(X)\geq 7$, then $\mathrm{CH}_2(X)$ is generated by classes of pl…
In "Singularities on Normal Varieties", de Fernex and Hacon started the study of singularities on non-Q-Gorenstein varieties using pullbacks of Weil divisors. In "Log Terminal Singularities", the author of this paper and Urbinati introduce a new class of singularities, called log terminal+, or simply lt+, which they prove is rather well behaved. In this paper we will continue the study of lt+ singularities, and we will show that they satisfy a Bertini type result, inversion of adjunction and small deformation invariance, and that they are naturally related to rational singularities. Finally, w…
Using inversion of adjunction, we deduce from Nadel's theorem a vanishing property for ideals sheaves on projective varieties, a special case of which recovers a result due to Bertram--Ein--Lazarsfeld. This enables us to generalize to a large class of projective schemes certain bounds on Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity previously obtained by Bertram--Ein--Lazarsfeld in the smooth case and by Chardin--Ulrich for locally complete intersection varieties with rational singularities. Our results are tested on several examples.
