Existence of minimal models for varieties of log general type

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that pl-flips exist in dimension n − 1, assuming finite generation in dimension N − 1 and assuming that pl flips exist in all dimensions.

Asymptotic Equivalence of Bayes Cross Validation and Widely Applicable Information Criterion in Singular Learning Theory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors theoretically compare the Bayes cross-validation loss and the widely applicable information criterion and prove two theorems: 1) The Bayes generalization error is asymptotically equal to 2λ/n, where λ is the real log canonical threshold and n is the number of training samples.

Monge-Ampère equations in big cohomology classes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define non-pluripolar products of an arbitrary number of closed positive (1, 1)-currents on a compact Kahler manifold X and show that the solution has minimal singularities in the sense of Demailly if μ has L 1+e-density with respect to Lebesgue measure.

Analytic Methods in Algebraic Geometry

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe analytic techniques useful in the study of questions pertaining to linear series, multiplier ideals, and vanishing theorems for algebraic vector bundles, assuming that the reader is already somewhat acquainted with the basic concepts of sheaf theory, homological algebra, and complex differential geometry.
