Extendability of holomorphic differential forms near isolated hypersurface singularities (Q1070390): Difference between revisions

Let (V,0) be the germ of an analytic variety with an isolated singularity. A holomorphic p-form \(\omega\) on \(V-\{0\}\) is called of first kind if there is a resolution \(\pi: \tilde V\to V\) such that \(\pi^*(\omega)\) extends to a holomorphic form on all of \(\tilde V.\) For \(p\leq \dim V-2\) the authors show that every p-form on \(V-\{0\}\) is of first kind, thus extending a result of \textit{G. M. Greuel} in Math. Ann. 250, 157-173 (1980; Zbl 0417.14003) in the case of hypersurface singularities. For \(p=\dim V\) resp. \(p=\dim V-1\) the length of the quotient of the space of all holomorphic p-forms on \(V-\{0\}\) by the space of forms of the first kind is called the geometric genus resp. the irregularity of the singularity (V,0). In the case of hypersurface singularities there invariants are computed in terms of the Gauß- Manin-system of a function defining (V,0).
