We prove that if Y is a hypersurface of degree d in P^n with isolated singularities, then the log canonical threshold of (P^n,Y) is at least min{n/d,1}. Moreover, if d is at least n+1, then we have equality if and only if Y is the projective cone over a (smooth) hypersurface in P^{n-1}. In the case when Y is a hyperplane section of a smooth hypersurface in P^{n+1}, Cheltsov and Park have proved that Y has isolated singularities and they have obtained the above lower bound for the log canonical threshold. Moreover they made the conjecture about the equality case (for d=n+1) and they proved that the conjecture follows from the Log Minimal Model Program. The purpose of this note is to give an easy proof of their conjecture using the description of the log canonical threshold in terms of jet schemes.

  1. On lower bounds for the F-pure threshold of equigenerated ideals

    math.AC 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Classifies equigenerated homogeneous ideals attaining equality in the Takagi-Watanabe bound fpt(I) >= height(I)/d and provides a new lower bound on fpt(I) via height of the test ideal tau(I to the power fpt(I)).
