Title

The ACC for LCTs

Abstract

Log canonical thresholds are important invariants of singularites of pairs which play an important role in higher dimensional birational geometry (and many other subjects). Shokurov conjectured that (in a fixed dimension) the set of all possible log canonical thresholds T_n should enjoy some remarkable properties. In this talk we will discuss the proof of Shokurov’s ACC for LCTs conjecture stating that if t_i\in T_N is a non-decreasing sequence, then t_i is eventually constant.
