Abstract: In 2009, de Fernex and Hacon proposed a generalization of the notion of the singularities to normal varieties that are not Q-Gorenstein. Based on their work, we generalize Kleiman's transversality theorem to subvarieties with log terminal or log canonical singularities. We also show that some classical varieties, such as generic determinantal varieties, W^r_d for general smooth curves, and certain Schubert varieties in G(k, n) are log terminal.

Review text

Let \(X\) be a homogeneous variety with an algebraic group \(G\) acting on it. Let \(Y, Z\) be subvarieties of \(X\) such that \(Z\) is smooth and \(Y\) is log canonical (resp. log terminal).NEWLINENEWLINEIt is proved that there is a non-empty open set \(U\subset G\) such that \(Y^g \times_X Z\) is log canonical (resp. log terminal) for all \(g\in U\). Here \(Y^g\) is the transition of \(Y\) by \(g\).NEWLINENEWLINEA criterion for a normal variety to be log terminal is given. Let \(f: Y\to X\) be a small resolution of a normal variety of \(X\) such that \(Y\) is smooth and \(-K_Y\) is relatively net. Then \(X\) is log terminal.
