The Dual Complex of a Semi-log Canonical Surface
The Dual Complex of a Semi-log Canonical Surface
Abstract Semi-log canonical varieties are a higher-dimensional analogue of stable curves. They are the varieties appearing as the boundary $\Delta $ of a log canonical pair $(X,\Delta )$ and also appear as limits of canonically polarized varieties in moduli theory. For certain three-fold pairs $(X,\Delta ),$ we show how to …
