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. |
