The plurigenera of Gorenstein surface singularities (Q1382622): Difference between revisions

Let \((X, x)\) be a normal Gorenstein surface singularity. The author computes and expresses precisely Watanabe's \(m\)-th plurigenus \(\delta_m(X, x)\) [see \textit{K. Watanabe}, Math. Ann. 250, 65-94 (1980; Zbl 0414.32005) and \textit{J. Wahl}, J. Am. Math. Soc. 3, No. 3, 625-637 (1990; Zbl 0743.14026)]. As a consequence, he shows that the series \(\{\delta_m(X, x)\}_{m \in \mathbb N}\) is determined by finitely many of \(\delta_m(X, x)\). For related results see \textit{S. D. Cutkosky} and \textit{V. Srinivas}, Ann. Math., II. Ser. 137, No. 3, 531-559 (1993; Zbl 0822.14006).
