Are Du Val singularities smoothable?

I am interested in when a Du Val surface singularity is smoothable. By Du Val singularity, I mean (the germ of a) isolated double point surface singularity admitting a resolution by blowups of ...

A moduli problem inspired by Stein factorization

Let $f:X \to Y$ be a proper, birational morphism with connected fibers, $X$ is non-singular and $Y$ is normal. Does there exist a moduli space parametrizing all invertible sheaves $\mathcal{L}$ on $X$ ...

Deformation invariance of rational connectedness in positive/mixed characteristic

Let $f:X \to S$ be a smooth morphism and $S$ the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring. If the generic fiber of $f$ is rationally (chain) connected then is the special fiber of $f$ also rationally (...

Birational morphism and invariance of arithmetic genus

Let $f:X \to Y$ be a birational morphism between projective, irreducible surfaces. Assume $X$ is non-singular and $Y$ is a hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^3$ (not necessarily smooth). Is the arithmetic ...

Birational deformations of holomorphic symplectic manifolds

Let $X$ and $X'$ be birational holomorphic symplectic manifolds. Then the birational morphism between them identifies $H^2(X)$ with $H^2(Y)$. The period space of $X$ is defined to be a subset of $\...

Extension of MMP from the central fiber to some neighborhood

I was reading Professor Kollár's paper deformation of varieties of general type (here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.10986 ) There is a theorem about the extension of MMP step when the central fiber has ...
