Singularities arising from the Minimal Model Program (an algebraic point of view)

I will start the story by the end: Is there some characterization of (some of) the singularities arising from the Minimal Model Program (canonical, terminal, log-...) in terms of commutative algebra ?...

Kuranishi family and smoothing of Calabi-Yau n-fold

Consider $X$ be a Calabi-Yau n-fold with at most one ordinary double point singularity. Suppose $X$ is smoothable. Then it is known that the Kuranishi family of $X$ is a smoothing of $X$. Now, ...

Example of a non-algebraic singularity II

In an answer of this MO question, Frank Loray constructed an example of analytic singularity which is not algebraic. On the other hand, as I learned from one of Joël's comments in that question, ...

Some examples where the plurigenera are nonconstant, when the fibres have worse singularities than canonical

Let start with a definition Invariance of plurigenera: Choose $m$ large enough so that $mK_F$ has a non-zero global section for some fibre $F$. For any fibre $F$, we have $K_F = K_{X/D}~_{|F}$. So ...

Finiteness of rational double point

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m })$ be a three dimensional complete local ring over a field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic and let $f\in R$ and $R/f$ is a rational double point. My question is as follows. Are ...

Discrepancy of general element of linear system

Let $X$ be a normal scheme and $|D|$ a linear system on $X$. In "Singularity of Minimal Model Program" by Janos kollar p249, it says, If $X$ is a variety over $\mathbb{C}$, and $E_j$ ...

About the definition of cDV singularity

M. Reid defines cDV singularity as follow in his paper "CANONICAL 3-FOLDS" A point $p\in X$ of a 3-fold is called a compound Du Val point if for some section H throgh $P$, $P\in H$ is a Du ...

Log resolution and a divisor of pullback of function

Let $(X,x)$ be a three fold singularity $m_{X,x}$ a ideal sheaf correspoinding to $x$. $\sigma:Y_1\rightarrow X$ blow up at by $m_{X,x}$ $\phi:Y\rightarrow Y_1$ resolution of $Y_1$ Set $f:=\phi*\sigma$...
