Title: Invitation to minimal log discrepancies on smooth threefolds
Abstract: The minimal log discrepancy is an invariant of singularities related to termination of flips. The ACC for minimal log discrepancies is still unknown in dimension three, and it is one of the most important remaining problems in the minimal model theory of threefolds. In the talk, I will introduce a proof of the ACC for minimal log discrepancies on smooth threefolds. More details will be explained in my seminar talk at Peking University on the following day, 16 Oct.
