Abstract: Varieties with log terminal and log canonical singularities are considered in the Minimal Model Program, see cite{...} for introduction. In cite{shokurov:hyp} it was conjectured that many of the interesting sets, associated with these varieties have something in common: they satisfy the ascending chain condition, which means that every increasing chain of elements terminates. Philosophically, this is the reason why two main hypotheses in the Minimal Model Program: existence and termination of flips should be true and are possible to prove. In this paper we prove that the following two sets satisfy the ascending chain condition: 1. The set of minimal log discrepancies for $K_X+B$ where $X$ is a surface with log canonical singularities. 2. The set of groups $(b_1,\mathrm{...}{b}_s)$ such that there is a surface $X$ with log canonical and numerically trivial $K_X+sum{b}_j{B}_j$. The order on such groups is defined in a natural way.

Review text

Varieties with log-terminal and log-canonical singularities are considered in the minimal model program, it is conjectured that most of the ``interesting sets associated with these varieties satisfy the ascending-chain condition. In fact, one of the main properties of flips is that log-discrepancies do not decrease [cf. \textit{V. V. Shokurov}, Math. USSR, Izv. 24, 193-198 (1985); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 48, No. 1, 203-208 (1984; Zbl 0565.14025)], so, the set of the minimal discrepancies is ``interesting. The author proves the conjecture for 2 ``interesting sets: (i) The set of minimal log-discrepancies for \(K_ X+B\) where \(X\) is a surface with log-canonical singularities and \(B\) is from a set satisfying the descending chain condition. (ii) the set of sequences of numbers \((b_ 1,\dots,b_ n)\) (ordered in a special way) such that there is a surface \(X\) with log-canonical and numerically trivial \(K_ X+\sum b_ jB_ j\).
