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 $E_j$ ...

Blow up of terminal singularity and canonical singularity
A normal singularity $(X,x)$ over a field $k$ is terminal (resp. canonical) if
$(i)$
it it is $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein. and
$(ii)$For any resolution of singularity $F:Y\rightarrow X$,
$K_Y-f^*K_X>...

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 $f:=\phi*\sigma$...

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 ...

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 ...

Singularities of contractions of extremal faces
Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a (projective) klt pair (say over $\mathbb{C}$, but I am also interested in fields of positive characteristic) and $f: X \to Z$ the contraction associated to a $(K_X + \Delta)$-...

Existence of terminal $3$-fold flips
Does there exist a terminal $3$-fold $X$ with a curve $C\subset X$ such that $K_X\cdot C < 0$ admitting a Mori flip $X\dashrightarrow Y$, flipping $C$ to a curve $C'\subset Y$, where the singular ...

Small contractions as blow ups
To improve my chances of getting answers/ comments I post my mathstackexchange question https://math.stackexchange.com/q/2808852/42548 also here.
I am trying to learn a bit about birational morphisms:...

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, ...

Advantage of discrepancy
In the definition of Minimal model of projective variety, some authors use of discrepancy, and some others omit this condition. I am wondering to know the advantage of discrepancy In the definition of ...

Central fibre singularities
Let $f:X\to Y $ be a proper surjective holomorphic fibre space where $X,Y $ are projective varieties.
If the central fibre $X_0$ has at worst log terminal singularities,
then can we say that all ...

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 ...

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 ?...

Controlling singularities on log mmp
Suppose all my varieties are complex threefolds $X\rightarrow Y$ over some smooth base curve germ $Y$. We can assume the fibres are Del Pezzo surfaces with generic smooth fibre.
If I do (relative) ...

Singularities of pairs
In the next days I have to give a talk in which I need to explain some of the usual singularities of pairs that one meets when dealing with the minimal model program: KLT, DLT and LC pairs.
