On the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for logarithmic vector fields on log canonical pairs

Abstract

We consider a version of the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for logarithmic vector fields and logarithmic $1$-forms on pairs. Let $(X,D)$ be a pair consisting of a normal complex variety $X$ and an effective Weil divisor $D$ such that the sheaf of logarithmic vector fields (or dually the sheaf of reflexive logarithmic $1$-forms) is locally free. We prove that in this case the following holds: If $(X,D)$ is dlt, then $X$ is necessarily smooth and $\lfloor D\rfloor$ is snc. If $(X,D)$ is lc or the logarithmic $1$-forms are locally generated by closed forms, then $(X,\lfloor D\rfloor )$ is toroidal.
