Sep 15, 2012 at 20:10 comment added Sándor Kovács $X$ is G1 if it is Gorenstein in codimension 1. This is similar to R1 for regular. In other words, there exists a closed set $Z\subset X$ such that $\mathrm{codim}_X Z\geq 2$ and $X\setminus Z$ is Gorenstein.
Sep 15, 2012 at 3:50 comment added Yuhao Huang What does G1 mean?

Dec 4, 2010 at 3:46 comment added Karl Schwede Sandor, that's a good point. The argument that $\mathcal{H}om_X(\omega_X, \omega_X) \cong \mathcal{O}_X$ is substantially easier than what I wrote when $X$ is G1 (which implies that $\omega_X$ is a line bundle on a big open set).

Dec 3, 2010 at 16:41 comment added Sándor Kovács Dear Brian: you are right (as always). I wrote that in haste and as Hailong and Karl correctly guessed I was thinking of the canonical sheaf in case $X$ is not CM. Of course, it would be wrong to call that the dualizing sheaf. Although, I guess one might consider that in that case nothing deserves that name, so the abuse was not extremely bad (just simply bad). :)

Dec 3, 2010 at 15:12 comment added Karl Schwede Sandor was certainly working on the geometric setting (ie, variety) where dualizing complexes exist, and then by $\omega$ he meant the first non-zero sheaf as BCnrd suggested. This G1 + S2 hypothesis is pretty common when one wants to work on non-normal varieties but still have a ``canonical divisor''.
Dec 3, 2010 at 14:00 comment added Hailong Dao Perhaps Sandor meant the canonical sheaf, which can be defined as long as $X$ is embeddable in a Gorenstein scheme?
Dec 3, 2010 at 7:09 comment added BCnrd Dear Sandor: if $X$ isn't CM, so the dualizing complex isn't concentrated in a single degree (on each connected component), then what is meant by $\omega$? Its top nonzero homology sheaf?
