Abstract: If $X$ is an algebraic variety with at worst canonical singularities and $S$ is a $Q$-Cartier hypersurface in $X$, the canonical threshold of the pair $(X,S)$ is the supremum of $cinR$ such that the pair $(X,cS)$ is canonical. We show that the set of all possible canonical thresholds of the pairs $(X,S)$, where $X$ is a germ of smooth 3-dimensional variety, satisfies the ascending chain condition. We also deduce a formula for the canonical threshold of $(C^3,S)$, where S is a Brieskorn singularity.

Review text

Let \(P\in X\) be a germ of a complex projective variety \(X\) which has canonical singularities, and let \(\Delta\) be an effective \(\mathbb Q\)-Cartier divisor on \(X\). Then the canonical threshold of the pair \((X,\Delta)\) at \(P\) is defined as \(\mathrm{ct}_P(X,\Delta)=\sup\{c\in\mathbb R\mid(X,\Delta)\text{ is canonical at }P\}\). There is also a log canonical analogue of this, and some of its conjectured properties have important consequences in the Minimal Model Program. One of them is the Ascending Chain Condition property, and it is proved on smooth varieties in [\textit{T.\ de Fernex, L.\ Ein} and \textit{M.\ Mustaţă}, Duke Math. J. 152, No. 1, 93--114 (2010; Zbl 1189.14044)] and [\textit{J.\ Kollár}, ``Which powers of holomorphic functions are integrable?, \url{arXiv:0805.0756}]. The author studies the analogous property for canonical thresholds on \(3\)-folds. More precisely, let \(\mathcal T_3^{\text{can}}=\{\text{ct}_P(X,\Delta)\mid X\text{ is a }3\)-fold
