L2-cohomology and intersection homology of certain algebraic varieties with isolated singularities.
La condition “ constant” est une condition numérique d’équisingularité introduite par B. Teissier. Celui-ci a démontré dans (Astérisque, 7 & 8 (1973) II. Théorème 3.9) que cette condition implique les conditions de Whitney, nous montrons ici la réciproque.
Let denote the set of log canonical thresholds of pairs , with a nonsingular variety of dimension , and a nonempty closed subscheme of . Using non-standard methods, we show that every limit of a decreasing sequence in lies in , proving in this setting a conjecture of Kollár. We also show that is closed in ; in particular, every limit of log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties of fixed dimension is a rational number. As a consequence of this property, we see that in order to check...
Suppose that are regular local rings which are essentially of finite type over a field of characteristic zero. If is a valuation ring of the quotient field of which dominates , then we show that there are sequences of monoidal transforms (blow ups of regular primes) and along such that is a monomial mapping. It follows that a morphism of nonsingular varieties can be made to be a monomial mapping along a valuation, after blow ups of nonsingular subvarieties.
In this paper we study a notion of local volume for Cartier divisors on arbitrary blow-ups of normal complex algebraic varieties of dimension greater than one, with a distinguished point. We apply this to study an invariant for normal isolated singularities, generalizing a volume defined by J. Wahl for surfaces. We also compare this generalization to a different one arising in recent work of T. de Fernex, S. Boucksom, and C. Favre.
