The Milnor number of functions on singular hypersurfaces

Mariusz Zając (1996)

Banach Center Publications

The behaviour of a holomorphic map germ at a critical point has always been an important part of the singularity theory. It is generally known (cf. [5]) that we can associate an integer invariant - called the multiplicity - to each isolated critical point of a holomorphic function of many variables. Several years later it was noticed that similar invariants exist for function germs defined on isolated hypersurface singularities (see [1]). The present paper aims to show a simple approach to critical...

The Mukai conjecture for log Fano manifolds

Kento Fujita (2014)

Open Mathematics

For a log Fano manifold (X,D) with D ≠ 0 and of the log Fano pseudoindex ≥2, we prove that the restriction homomorphism Pic(X) → Pic(D 1) of Picard groups is injective for any irreducible component D 1 ⊂ D. The strategy of our proof is to run a certain minimal model program and is similar to Casagrande’s argument. As a corollary, we prove that the Mukai conjecture (resp. the generalized Mukai conjecture) implies the log Mukai conjecture (resp. the log generalized Mukai conjecture).

The Nash problem of arcs and the rational double points D n

Camille Plénat (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This paper deals with the Nash problem, which consists in comparing the number of families of arcs on a singular germ of surface U with the number of essential components of the exceptional divisor in the minimal resolution of this singularity. We prove their equality in the case of the rational double points D n ( n 4 ).
