    Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing fails for log del Pezzo surfaces in characteristic 3

    Full text link
    We construct a klt del Pezzo surface in characteristic three violating the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem. As a consequence we show that there exists a Kawamata log terminal threefold singularity which is not Cohen-Macaulay in characteristic three. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

    Non-normal purely log terminal centres in characteristic p >= 3

    Full text link
    We show, building on a recent work of Totaro (The failure of Kodaira vanishing for Fano varieties, and terminal singularities that are not Cohen-Macaulay, 2017. arXiv:1710.04364v1), that for every prime number p >= 3 there exists a purely log terminal pair (Z, S) of dimension 2p + 2 whose plt centre S is not normal

    On the base point free theorem for klt threefolds in large characteristic

    Full text link
    In this article we present a refinement of the base point free theorem for threefolds in positive characteristic. If L is a nef Cartier divisor of numerical dimension at least one on a projective Kawamata log terminal threefold (X, 1) over a perfect field k of characteristic p >> 0 such that L - (K-X + 1) is big and nef, then we show that the linear system |mL| is base point free for all sufficiently large integers m > 0

    Counterexamples to the MMP for 1-foliations in positive characteristic

    Full text link
    We show that many statements of the Minimal Model Program, including the cone theorem, the base point free theorem and the existence of Mori fibre spaces, fail for 1-foliated surface pairs (X,F)(X,\mathcal {F})with canonical singularities in characteristic p>0

    Vanishing Theorems for Three-folds in Characteristic p > 5

    Full text link
    We prove Grauert-Riemenschneider-type vanishing theorems for excellent divisiorally log terminal threefolds pairs whose closed points have perfect residue fields of positive characteristic p > 5. Then we discuss applications to dlt singularities and to Mori fiber spaces of three-folds

    Bounding geometrically integral del Pezzo surfaces

    Full text link
    We prove several boundedness statements for geometrically integral normal del Pezzo surfaces X over arbitrary fields. We give an explicit sharp bound on the irregularity if X is canonical or regular. In particular, we show that wild canonical del Pezzo surfaces exist only in characteristic 22 . As an application, we deduce that canonical del Pezzo surfaces form a bounded family over Z\mathbb {Z} , generalising work of Tanaka. More generally, we prove the BAB conjecture on the boundedness of ε\varepsilon -klt del Pezzo surfaces over arbitrary fields of characteristic different from 2,32, 3 and 55

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
