Normality of minimal log canonical centers of threefolds in mixed and positive characteristic

Abstract

We prove the normality of minimal log canonical centers on threefold pairs which residue fields are perfect of residue characteristics $p\neq 2,3 $ and $5$. We also show that the union of all log canonical centers on threefold pairs with standard coefficients are seminormal provided that the residue characteristic is large enough. We provide an example of a non-seminormal log canonical center on a threefold in characteristic $3$, and give sufficient conditions to construct similar examples.
