Title: Properties of log canonical singularities in positive characteristic.Abstract: We will investigate if some well known properties of log canonical singularities over the complex numbers still hold true over perfect fields of positive characteristic and over excellent rings with perfect residue fields. We will discuss both pathological behavior in characteristic p as well as some positive results […]
Title: A Hodge-theoretic proof of Hwang's theoremAbstract: I will explain a Hodge-theoretic proof for Hwang's theorem, which says that if the base of a Lagrangian fibration on an irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold is smooth, then it must be projective space. The result is contained in a joint paper with Ben Bakker from last fall.
