Course description and aims

"F-singularities" refer to singularities defined by the Frobenius map. There are four basic classes of F-singularities: F-regular, F-pure, F-rational, and F-injective. These are expected to correspond to major classes of singularities in complex birational geometry. In this course, I will outline the recent development of this correspondence.

Student learning outcomes

The aim is to learn and become accustomed to various concepts that appear in the singularity theory of algebraic varieties, with a focus on positive characteristic methods.

Keywords

F-singularities, BCM test ideals, multiplier ideals, reduction modulo p

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This is a standard lecture course. There will be some assignments.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 The following topics will be covered in this order : -- Basic notions in the theory of F-singularities (F-regular, F-pure, F-rational, and F-injective singulariteis) -- Singularities in birational geometry (log terminal, log canonical, rational, and Du Bois singularities) -- Absolute integral closures and BCM test ideals -- Reduction modulo p technique due to Deligne-Illusie-Raynaud -- Weak ordinarity conjecture Details will be provided during each class session
