Singularity of $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors of multidegree one in multiprojective space

TL;DR
We address singularities of effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on multiprojective spaces $X=\prod_{i=1}^n \mathbb{P}^{m_i}$ of multidegree $(1,...,1)$. The main result shows that if $\Delta\ge 0$ has multidegree $(1,...,1)$ and $\lfloor\Delta\rfloor=0$, then $(X,\Delta)$ is klt, and if $\lfloor\Delta\rfloor$ is irreducible, then $(X,\Delta)$ is plt. For irreducible divisors, inversion of adjunction yields that such divisors have rational singularities, and the authors derive a lower bound on the log canonical threshold for irreducible hypersurfaces of multidegree $(d,...,d)$. The work extends known results on square-free polynomials to multiprojective spaces, connects to the minimal model program via connectedness and adjunction, and generalizes Bath–Mustata–Walther-style phenomena as a corollary.
Abstract
We study singularity of effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on products of projective spaces of multidegree $(1,1...,1).$ This generalizes works of Bath, Musta{ţ}{ă} and Walther on singularity of square-free polynomials. We also give a lower bound on the log canonical threshold of a hypersurface in products of projective spaces.
