Basic properties of log canonical centers

Basic cohomology of canonical holomorphic foliations on complex moment-angle manifolds

We describe the basic cohomology ring of the canonical holomorphic foliation on a moment-angle manifold, LVMB-manifold or any complex manifold with a maximal holomorphic torus action. Namely, we show that the basic cohomology has a description similar to the cohomology ring of a complete simplicial toric variety due to Danilov and Jurkiewicz. This settles a question of Battaglia and Zaffran, who previously computed the basic Betti numbers for the canonical holomorphic foliation in the case of a shellable fan. Our proof uses an Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence argument; the key ingredient is t…

Seminormal log centers and deformations of pairs

We show that some properties of log canonical centers of a log canonical pair (X,D) also hold for certain subvarieties that are close to being a log canonical center. As a consequence, we obtain that if one works with deformations of pairs (X, D) where all the coefficients of D are bigger than 1/2, then one need not worry about embedded points on D. May 20: Results strengthened using recent work of Birkar and Hacon and Xu.

On log canonical rational singularities

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.

On a vanishing theorem for birational morphisms of threefolds in positive and mixed characteristics

We prove a relative Kawamata Viehweg vanishing type theorem for birational morphisms. We use this to prove a Grauert Riemenschneider theorem over log canonical threefolds without zero dimensional log canonical centers, in residue characteristic p greater than five. In large enough residue characteristics, we prove a Grauert Riemenschneider theorem over threefold log canonical singularities with standard coefficients. These vanishing theorems can also be used to study the depth of log canonical singularities at non log canonical centers, as well as the singularities of the log canonical centers…

On the number of compatibly Frobenius split subvarieties, prime $F$-ideals, and log canonical centers

Let $X$ be a projective Frobenius split variety over an algebraically closed field with splitting $θ: F_* Ø_X \to Ø_X$. In this paper we give a sharp bound on the number of subvarieties of $X$ compatibly split by $θ$. In particular, suppose $\sL$ is a sufficiently ample line bundle on $X$ (for example, if $\sL$ induces a projectively normal embedding) with $n = \dim H^0(X, \sL)$. We show that the number of $d$-dimensional irreducible subvarieties of $X$ that are compatibly split by $θ$ is less than or equal to ${n \choose d+1}$. This generalizes a well known result on the number of closed poin…

On canonical bundle formulae and subadjunctions

We consider a canonical bundle formula for generically finite proper surjective morphisms and obtain subadjunction formulae for minimal log canonical centers of log canonical pairs. We also treat related topics and applications.

Restrictions of log canonical algebras of general type

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.

Fundamental properties of basic slc-trivial fibrations

We introduce the notion of basic slc-trivial fibrations. It is a generalization of that of Ambro's lc-trivial fibrations. Then we study fundamental properties of basic slc-trivial fibrations by using the theory of variations of mixed Hodge structure on cohomology with compact support. More precisely, we prove that the moduli part of a basic slc-trivial fibration is b-strongly nef. Note that the notion of basic slc-trivial fibrations is closely related to that of normal irreducible quasi-log canonical pairs. So the results obtained in this paper will play an important role in the theory of quas…

On log canonical inversion of adjunction

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.

IMPANGA lecture notes on log canonical thresholds

These are lecture notes from the IMPANGA 2010 Summer school. They give an introduction to log canonical thresholds, covering some basic properties, examples, and some recent results and open questions.

Subadjunction of log canonical divisors II

We extend a subadjunction formula of log canonical divisors as in [K3] to the case when the codimension of the minimal center is arbitrary by using the positivity of the Hodge bundles.

Du Bois property of log centers

In this note we generalize the results of [KK10] and [KK20] by showing that if a closed subset V of X is "close enough" to being a union of log canonical centers, then it is Du Bois.

The indices of log canonical singularities

Let $(P\in X,Δ)$ be a three dimensional log canonical pair such that $Δ$ has only standard coefficients and $P$ is a center of log canonical singularities for $(X,Δ)$. Then we get an effective bound of the indices of these pairs and actually determine all the possible indices. Furthermore, under certain assumptions including the log Minimal Model Program, an effective bound is also obtained in dimension $n\geq 4$.

On Finiteness of B-representation and Semi-log Canonical Abundance

We give a new proof of the finiteness of B-representations. As a consequence of the finiteness of B-representations and Kollár's gluing theory on lc centers, we prove that the (relative) abundance conjecture for slc pairs is implied by the abundance conjecture for log canonical pairs.

On a generalized canonical bundle formula for generically finite morphisms

We prove a canonical bundle formula for generically finite morphisms in the setting of generalized pairs (with $\mathbb{R}$-coefficients). This complements Filipazzi's canonical bundle formula for morphisms with connected fibres. It is then applied to obtain a subadjunction formula for log canonical centers of generalized pairs. As another application, we show that the image of an anti-nef log canonical generalized pair has the structure of a numerically trivial log canonical generalized pair. This readily implies a result of Chen--Zhang. Along the way we prove that the Shokurov type convex se…

On weak Fano varieties with log canonical singularities

We prove that the anti-canonical divisors of weak Fano 3-folds with log canonical singularities are semiample. Moreover, we consider semiampleness of the anti-log canonical divisor of any weak log Fano pair with log canonical singularities. We show semiampleness dose not hold in general by constructing several examples. Based on those examples, we propose sufficient conditions which seem to be the best possible and we prove semiampleness under such conditions. In particular we derive semiampleness of the anti-canonical divisors of log canonical weak Fano 4-folds whose lc centers are at most 1-…

Singularities with respect to Mather-Jacobian discrepancies

As is well known, the "usual discrepancy" is defined for a normal Q-Gorenstein variety. By using this discrepancy we can define a canonical singularity and a log canonical singularity. In the same way, by using a new notion, Mather-Jacobian discrepancy introduced in recent papers we can define a "canonical singularity" and a "log canonical singularity" for not necessarily normal or Q-Gorenstein varieties. In this paper, we show basic properties of these singularities, behavior of these singularities under deformations and determine all these singularities of dimension up to 2.

Existence of log canonical closures

Let $f:X\to U$ be a projective morphism of normal varieties and $(X,Δ)$ a dlt pair. We prove that if there is an open set $U^0\subset U$, such that $(X,Δ)\times_U U^0$ has a good minimal model over $U^0$ and the images of all the non-klt centers intersect $U^0$, then $(X,Δ)$ has a good minimal model over $U$. As consequences we show the existence of log canonical compactifications for open log canonical pairs, and the fact that the moduli functor of stable schemes satisfies the valuative criterion for properness.

Hodge theory meets the minimal model program: a survey of log canonical and Du Bois singularities

This is a survey of some recent developments in the study of singularities related to the classification theory of algebraic varieties. In particular, the definition and basic properties of Du Bois singularities and their connections to the more commonly known singularities of the minimal model program are reviewed and discussed.

On toric face rings II

We introduce the class of weakly log canonical singularities, a natural generalization of semi-log canonical singularities. Toric varieties (associated to toric face rings, possibly non-normal or reducible) which have weakly (semi-) log canonical singularities are classified. In the toric case, we discuss residues to lc centers of codimension one or higher.

On divisors computing MLD's and LCT's

We show that if a divisor centered over a point on a smooth surface computes a minimal log discrepancy, then the divisor also computes a log canonical threshold. To prove the result, we study the asymptotic log canonical threshold of the graded sequence of ideals associated to a divisor over a variety. We systematically study this invariant and also prove a result describing which divisors compute asymptotic log canonical thresholds.

The canonical sheaf of Du Bois singularities

We prove that a Cohen-Macaulay normal variety $X$ has Du Bois singularities if and only if $π_*ω_{X'}(G) \simeq ω_X$ for a log resolution $π: X' \to X$, where $G$ is the reduced exceptional divisor of $π$. Many basic theorems about Du Bois singularities become transparent using this characterization (including the fact that Cohen-Macaulay log canonical singularities are Du Bois). We also give a straightforward and self-contained proof that (generalizations of) semi-log-canonical singularities are Du Bois, in the Cohen-Macaulay case. It also follows that the Kodaira vanishing theorem holds for …

On fibration stability after Dervan-Sektnan and singularities

We introduce $\mathfrak{f}$-stability, a modification of fibration stability of Dervan-Sektnan [12], and show that $\mathfrak{f}$-semistable fibrations have only semi log canonical singularities. Moreover, $\mathfrak{f}$-stability puts restrictions on semi log canonical centers on Fano fibrations.

On the Tate and Langlands--Rapoport conjectures for special fibres of integral canonical models of Shimura varieties of abelian type

We prove the isogeny property for special fibres of integral canonical models of compact Shimura varieties of $A_n$, $B_n$, $C_n$, and $D_n^{\dbR}$ type. The approach used also shows that many crystalline cycles on abelian varieties over finite fields which are specializations of Hodge cycles, are algebraic. These two results have many applications. First, we prove a variant of the conditional Langlands--Rapoport conjecture for these special fibres. Second, for certain isogeny sets we prove a variant of the unconditional Langlands--Rapoport conjecture (like for many basic loci). Third, we prov…

Stringy Hodge numbers of varieties with Gorenstein canonical singularities

We introduce the notion of stringy E-function for an arbitrary normal irreducible algebraic variety X with at worst log-terminal singularities. We prove some basic properties of stringy E-functions and compute them explicitly for arbitrary Q-Gorenstein toric varieties. Using stringy E-functions, we propose a general method to define stringy Hodge numbers for projective algebraic varieties with at worst Gorenstein canonical singularities. This allows us to formulate the topological mirror duality test for arbitrary Calabi-Yau varieties with canonical singularities. In Appendix we explain non-Ar…

Algebraic Surfaces with Log-Terminal Singularities and nef Anticanonical Class and Reflection Groups in Lobachevsky Spaces. I (Basics of the Diagram Method)

In our preprint: "Algebraic surfaces with log-terminal singularities and nef anticanonical class and reflection groups in Lobachevsky spaces", Preprint Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik, Bonn, (1989) MPI/89-28 (Russian), we had extended the diagram method to algebraic surfaces with nef anticanonical class (before, it was applied to Del Pezzo surfaces). The main problem here is that Mori polyhedron may not be finite polyhedral in this case. In the §4 of this preprint we had shown that this method does work for algebraic surfaces with nef anticanonical class and log terminal singularities. Rece…
