Research exposition (monographs, survey articles) pertaining to algebraic geometry (14-02) Minimal model program (Mori theory, extremal rays) (14E30) Singularities of surfaces or higher-dimensional varieties (14J17) Fano varieties (14J45)

Abstract: We survey some recent topics on singularities, with a focus on their connection to the minimal model program. This includes the construction and properties of dual complexes, the proof of the ACC conjecture for log canonical thresholds and the recent progress on the `local stability theory' of an arbitrary Kawamata log terminal singularity.
