Canonical under blowup: see Griffiths Harris, \(K_Y=f^*\left(K_X\right)+(c-1) E\) where \(c\) is the codimension of \(V\) in \(X\) and \(E\) is the exceptional divisor.

Mark Gross Smoothing cusp singularities via mirror symmetry
I will talk about joint work with Paul Hacking and Sean Keel. We use mirror symmetry to prove a conjecture of Looijenga about smoothability of cusp surface singularities. These are normal singularities whose minimal resolution has an exceptional locus given by a cycle of rational curves. It was known that these singularities come in pairs, called “dual cusps”. It turns out that this is a manifestation of mirror symmetry, and using recent results of Gross-Siebert and Gross-Pandharipande-Siebert, we are able to prove Looijenga’s conjecture, which states that a cusp singularity is smoothable if and only if the cycle of rational curves corresponding to the minimal resolution of the dual cusp can be realised as the anti-canonical class of a rational surface.
