Abstract
The usual discrepancy of canonical divisors is defined for a normal Q-Gorenstein variety and used for classification of singularities from the view point of birational geometry. In the talk I will use Mather-Jacobian discrepancy instead of usual discrepancy and discuss ``canonical" and ``log-canonical" singularities with respect to this discrepancy. Our interest is also for non-Q-Gorenstein or even non-normal varieties.
