Limits of log canonical thresholds
Let denote the set of log canonical thresholds of pairs , with a nonsingular variety of dimension , and a nonempty closed subscheme of . Using non-standard methods, we show that every limit of a decreasing sequence in lies in , proving in this setting a conjecture of Kollár. We also show that is closed in ; in particular, every limit of log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties of fixed dimension is a rational number. As a consequence of this property, we see that in order to check...
Jacobian discrepancies and rational singularities
Inspired by several works on jet schemes and motivic integration, we consider an extension to singular varieties of the classical definition of discrepancy for morphisms of smooth varieties. The resulting invariant, which we call , is closely related to the jet schemes and the Nash blow-up of the variety. This notion leads to a framework in which adjunction and inversion of adjunction hold in full generality, and several consequences are drawn from these properties. The main result of the paper...
