Topic: 

Shokurov's ACC Conjecture for log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties

 

Description: 

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.
