Let $\Delta:Y\rightarrow X$ a closed immersion of $k$-schemes of finite type and equidimensionnal.

We assume that $\Delta^{*}[-d]IC_{X}=IC_{Y}$, if $X$ is Cohen-Macaulay, does it imply that $Y$ is Cohen-Macaulay?

  • $\begingroup$ Let assume also that both X and Y are equidimensionnal, and that a resolution of singularities for X gives by base change a resolution of singularities for Y. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Could you explain what it means by $IC_{-}$? Are they canonical bundle of $Y$ and $X$ respectively? Also what is $d$? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ d is the codimension, IC is the intersection complex. $\endgroup$
