چکیده
We discuss the evidence for and implications of a conjecture that the universal abelian cover of a Q-Gorenstein surface singularity with finite local homology (i.e., the singularity link is a Q-homology sphere) is a complete intersection singularity.

Universal Abelian Covers of Quotient - Cusps
The quotient-cusp singularities are isolated complex surface singularities that are double-covered by cusp singularities. We show that the universal abelian cover of such a singularity, branched only at the singular point, is a complete intersection cusp singularity of embedding dimension 4. This supports a general conjecture that we make about the universal abelian cover of a Q-Gorenstein sing...
متن کاملComplete Intersection Singularities of Splice Type as Universal Abelian Covers
It has long been known that every quasi-homogeneous normal complex surface singularity with Q–homology sphere link has universal abelian cover a Brieskorn complete intersection singularity. We describe a broad generalization: First, one has a class of complete intersection normal complex surface singularities called “splice type singularities,” which generalize Brieskorn complete intersections....
متن کاملUniversal abelian covers of superisolated singularities
The topology of a normal surface singularity does not determine the analytical invariants of its equisingularity class, but recent partial results indicated that this should be true under two restrictions, a topological one, that the link of the singularity is a rational homology sphere, and an analytical one, that the singularity is Q-Gorenstein. Neumann and Wahl conjectured that the singulari...
متن کاملUniversal Abelian Covers of Certain Surface Singularities
Every normal complex surface singularity with Q-homology sphere link has a universal abelian cover. It has been conjectured by Neumann and Wahl that the universal abelian cover of a rational or minimally elliptic singularity is a complete intersection singularity defined by a system of “splice diagram equations”. In this paper we introduce a Neumann-Wahl system, which is an analogue of the syst...
متن کاملNon-Abelian Sequenceable Groups Involving ?-Covers
A non-abelian finite group is called sequenceable if for some positive integer , is -generated ( ) and there exist integers such that every element of is a term of the -step generalized Fibonacci sequence , , , . A remarkable application of this definition may be find on the study of random covers in the cryptography. The 2-step generalized sequences for the dihedral groups studi...
