Abstract:
Let $X$ be a smooth variety and $Y\subset X$ a closed subscheme. We use motivic integration on the space of arcs of $X$ to characterize the fact that $(X,Y)$ is log canonical or log terminal using the dimension of the jet schemes of $Y$. This gives a formula for the log canonical threshold of $(X,Y)$, which we use to prove a result of Demailly and Kollár on the semicontinuity of log canonical thresholds.References
