Filtrations and local syzygies of multiplier ideals (Q2459988)

Multiplier ideals have found many applications in algebraic geometry and related areas over the last decade, due to the fact that they satisfy vanishing theorems. Keeping their importance, there has been some interest in understanding what properties they have. It is easy to see that a multiplier ideal is integrally closed. Besides from being integrally closed, \textit{R. Lazarsfeld} and the reviewer [Invent. Math. 167, No. 2, 409--418 (2007; Zbl 1114.13013)] showed that multiplier ideals satisfy syzygetic properties of algebraic nature. Their result says that no minimal \(p\)-th syzygy of any local multiplier ideal on a smooth complex variety of dimension \(d\) vanishes modulo \(m^{d+1-p}\). In this paper the author considers the local multiplier ideal \(\mathcal{J}_k\) of the product of any ideal and the \(k\)-th power of maximal ideal. The main result of the paper is that \(\mathcal{J}_k\) satisfies stronger syzygetic properties, namely, if \(k\geq d-2\), then no minimal \(p\)-th syzygy of \(\mathcal{J}_k\) vanishes modulo \(m^2\) for any \(p\geq 1\).
