The real Seifert form and the spectral pairs of isolated hypersurface singularities
Assume that is a connected negative definite plumbing graph, and that the associated plumbed 3-manifold is a rational homology sphere. We provide two new combinatorial formulae for the Seiberg–Witten invariant of . The first one is the constant term of a ‘multivariable Hilbert polynomial’, it reflects in a conceptual way the structure of the graph , and emphasizes the subtle parallelism between these topological invariants and the analytic invariants of normal surface singularities. The second...
Let be a normal crossing divisor in the smooth complex projective algebraic variety and let be a tubular neighbourhood of in . Using geometrical properties of different intersections of the irreducible components of , and of the embedding , we provide the “normal forms” of a set of geometrical cycles which generate , where is one of the following pairs , , , and . The construction is compatible with the weights in of Deligne’s mixed Hodge structure. The main technical part...
Based on some analogies with the Hodge theory of isolated hypersurface singularities, we define Hodge–type numerical invariants of any, not necessarily algebraic, link in a three–sphere. We call them
Using the path lattice cohomology we provide a conceptual topological characterization of the geometric genus for certain complex normal surface singularities with rational homology sphere links, which is uniformly valid for all superisolated and Newton non-degenerate hypersurface singularities.
