All Questions

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 ...

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 ...

The two-dimensional complex unit ball $B$ has group of biholomorphic automorphisms $PU(2,1)$. If $Γ$ is an arithmetic subgroup of $PU(2,1)$, the quotient $Γ\text{\\}B$ is an orbifold. Taking its ...

Let $(X,0)$ be a normal surface singularity. An let $\pi: \tilde{X} \to X$ be the minimal resolution. Now, we can apply a result of Oliveira (exploiting previous work by Laufer) and obtain a 1-...
