Mather discrepancy and the arc spaces

Shihoko Ishii (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

A goal of this paper is a characterization of singularities according to a new invariant, Mather discrepancy. We also show some evidences convincing us that Mather discrepancy is a reasonable invariant in a view point of birational geometry.

Nakamaye’s theorem on log canonical pairs

Salvatore Cacciola, Angelo Felice Lopez (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We generalize Nakamaye’s description, via intersection theory, of the augmented base locus of a big and nef divisor on a normal pair with log-canonical singularities or, more generally, on a normal variety with non-lc locus of dimension 1 . We also generalize Ein-Lazarsfeld-Mustaţă-Nakamaye-Popa’s description, in terms of valuations, of the subvarieties of the restricted base locus of a big divisor on a normal pair with klt singularities.

Non-Archimedean integrals and stringy Euler numbers of log-terminal pairs

Victor V. Batyrev (1999)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Using non-Archimedian integration over spaces of arcs of algebraic varieties, we define stringy Euler numbers associated with arbitrary Kawamata log-terminal pairs. There is a natural Kawamata log-terminal pair corresponding to an algebraic variety V having a regular action of a finite group G . In this situation we show that the stringy Euler number of this pair coincides with the physicists’ orbifold Euler number defined by the Dixon-Harvey-Vafa-Witten formula. As an application, we prove a conjecture...

Non-embeddable 1 -convex manifolds

Jan Stevens (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that every small resolution of a 3-dimensional terminal hypersurface singularity can occur on a non-embeddable 1 -convex manifold.We give an explicit example of a non-embeddable manifold containing an irreducible exceptional rational curve with normal bundle of type ( 1 , - 3 ) . To this end we study small resolutions of c D 4 -singularities.
