On a generalization of Hilbert's 21st problem
We give an affirmative answer to an open question posed by Demailly-Peternell-Schneider in 2001 and recently by Peternell. Let be a surjective morphism from a log canonical pair onto a -Gorenstein variety . If is nef, we show that is pseudo-effective.
Given a germ of holomorphic function on , we study the condition: “the ideal is generated by operators of order1”. We obtain here full characterizations in the particular cases of Koszul-free germs and unreduced germs of plane curves. Moreover, we prove that this condition holds for a special type of hyperplane arrangements. These results allow us to link this condition to the comparison of de Rham complexes associated with .
