A lockdown survey on cDV singularities

This is an expository survey article on compound Du Val (cDV) singularities, with emphasis on recent homological approaches, including: noncommutative resolutions, tilting theory, contraction algebras, classification, derived categories, autoequivalences, stability conditions, deformation theory, and cluster tilting theory.
