Kawachi’s Invariant for Normal Surface Singularities
نویسنده
چکیده
We study a useful numerical invariant of normal surface singularities, introduced recently by T. Kawachi. Using this invariant, we give a quick proof of the (well-known) fact that all log-canonical surface singularities are either elliptic Gorenstein or rational (without assuming a priori that they are Q -Gorenstein). In §2 we prove effective results (stated in terms of Kawachi’s invariant) regarding global generation of adjoint linear systems on normal surfaces with boundary. Such results can be used in proving effective estimates for global generation on singular threefolds. The theorem of Ein–Lazarsfeld and Kawamata, which says that the minimal center of log-canonical singularities is always normal, explains why the results proved here are relevant in that situation.

Bifurcations of normally hyperbolic Invariant Manifolds in analytically Tractable Models and Consequences for reaction Dynamics
In this paper, we study the breakdown of normal hyperbolicity and its consequences for reaction dynamics; in particular, the dividing surface, the flux through the dividing surface (DS), and the gap time distribution. Our approach is to study these questions using simple, two degreeof-freedom Hamiltonian models where calculations for the different geometrical and dynamical quantities can be car...
متن کاملGeneralised Thurston-bennequin Invariants for Real Algebraic Surface Singularities
A generalised Thurston-Bennequin invariant for a Q-singularity of a real algebraic variety is defined as a linking form on the homologies of the real link of the singularity. The main goal of this paper is to present a method to calculate the linking form in terms of the very good resolution graph of a real normal unibranch singularity of a real algebraic surface. For such singularities, the va...
متن کاملComplex Surface Singularities with Integral Homology Sphere Links
The Casson Invariant Conjecture (CIC) asserts that for a complete intersection surface singularity whose link is an integral homology sphere, the Casson invariant of that link is one-eighth the signature of the Milnor fiber. We study a large class of such complete intersections, those of “splice type,” and boldly conjecture that all Gorenstein singularities with homology sphere links are equisi...
متن کاملCanonical Symplectic Structures and Deformations of Algebraic Surfaces
We show that a minimal surface of general type has a canonical symplectic structure (unique up to symplectomorphism) which is invariant for smooth deformation. Our main theorem is that the symplectomorphism type is also invariant for deformations which allow certain normal singular-ities, called Single Smoothing Singularities (and abbreviated as SSS), and moreover for deformations yielding Q-Go...
متن کاملResolution Graphs of Some Surface Singularities , I . ( Cyclic Coverings )
The article starts with some introductory material about resolution graphs of normal surface singularities (definitions, topological/homological properties, etc). Then we discuss the problem of N-cyclic coverings (Xf,N , 0) → (X, 0) of (X, 0), branched along ({f = 0}, 0), where f : (X, 0) → (C, 0) is the germ of an analytic function. We present non–trivial examples in order to show that from th...
