Shokurov's ACC Conjecture for log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties
Speakers
Details
Log canonical thresholds are invariants of singularities that play an important role in birational geometry. After an introduction to these invariants, I will describe recent progress on a conjecture of Shokurov predicting the Ascending Chain Condition for such invariants in any fixed dimension. This is based on joint work with Tommaso de Fernex and Lawrence Ein.
