Enriques-Kodaira classification of minimal resolution of surface with quotient singularities

Let $X$ be a normal projective complex surface with at worst quotient singularities. Let $\bar{X}\to X$ be the minimal resolution. Further assume that $b_2(X)=1$ and $b_1(X)=b_3(X)=0$. Since quotient ...

Moduli space of curves away from singular subsets

Recently, I'm interested in the moduli spaces of curves in a (possibly noncompact) complex orbifold (resp. symplectic and almost complex) away from singularities. More specifically, I'm interested in ...

Theories of manifolds w/ extra structure and singularities

Many different objects in mathematics can be described as manifolds with extra structure. Among the most famous examples of these are smooth manifolds, Riemannian manifolds, complex manifolds, and ...

Reference request: Automorphisms of $\mathbb C\{x,y\}$ which preserve the equation of the cusp, $x^3 - y^2$

In my research I encountered automorphisms of the ring of convergent power series $$\varphi: \mathbb C\{x,y\} \to \mathbb C\{x,y\},$$ which preserve $f = x^3 - y^2$, i.e. $\varphi(f) = f$. I'm ...

Is any singularity a subgerm of $(\mathbb{C}^n, 0)$?

I am studying singularity theory. I have often come across, in the literature, the sentence which says "let $(X,0) \subset (\mathbb{C}^n,0)$ be a singularity". Here a singularity is a ...

Every locally free sheaf is Cohen-Macaulay on complex variety with at canonical singualities?

Suppose $X$ is a normal complex space with at most singularities, can we say any locally free sheaf on it is Cohen-Macauly? Recall that a coherent sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ over $X$ is called (maximal) ...

Understand the proof that rational resolution is independent of the resolution

EDIT. Karl Schwede has given a different approach to solve this question, which is very clear. However, I still want to figure out how to deal with this problem along Ein's line, and waiting for the ...

Jacobian ideal as primary idea;

Let $R = \mathbb{C}\{x_1, \dots,x_n\}$ be the ring of germs of analytic functions and let $f \in R$ be a homogeneus polynomial of degree $p$ such that $\sqrt{Jac(f)}=\langle x_1, \dots, x_{n-1}\rangle ...

Cohen-Macaulyness of Milnor algebra

Denote by $R = \mathbb{C}\{x_1, \dots, x_n\}$ the ring of germs of analytics maps at the origin in $n$ variables and let $f \in R$ such that $Sing(V(f))=V(x_1, \dots, x_{n-1})$ as sets. In addition, ...

Gorenstein varieties: why the two definitions are equivalent?

There are two definitions of Gorenstein singularities in the literature. Using Grothendieck's (or Serre's) duality, one defines the "dualizing sheaf" an object $\hat K_M$ of derived category ...

Does a resolution of a rational singularity have rationally connected fibers?

A rational singularity is a singularity of a complex variety $X$ such that for any resolution $\pi:\; \tilde X\rightarrow X$ the higher direct images $R^i\pi_*(O_{\tilde X})$ vanish for all $i>0$. ...

How to judge whether an orbifold is good

My own case comes from dynamic system on compact complex manifolds. To be precise, let $M$ be a compact complex 3-dimentional manifold, $W^c$ a holomorphic foliation of M with 1-dimentional uniformly ...

Monodromy group of the Milnor fiber of an ADE surface singularity

Let $X$ be a hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^3$ defined by $f(x,y,z)=0$ with an ADE type singularity at $0$. Denote $\mu$ the Milnor number of the singularity. On the one hand, we can fit $(X,0)$ into the ...

Is there a "minimal" Whitney stratification of a complex hypersurface?

Let $X\subset \mathbb C^n$ be a complex hypersurface (given by $F=0$ where $F$ is a polynomial). It is known then that $X$ admits a Whitney stratification. This is a decomposition of $X$ into smooth ...

Whitney stratification of a $\mathbb C^*$-invariant hypersuface in $\mathbb C^n$

Let $H\subset \mathbb C^n$ be an irreducible hypersurface invariant under a diagonal $\mathbb C^*$-action with positive weights ($H$ is given by a quasi-homogeneous polynomial). Consider the Whitney ...
