Lattices over curve singularities with large conductor (Q1319223)

The article investigates lattices (i.e. finitely generated torsionfree modules) over the complete local ring of an algebraic curve singularity over an algebraically closed field. Its main interest is to classify the indecomposable lattices over tame curve singularities (i.e. over those curve singularities whose indecomposable lattices admit a classification by finitely many one-parameter families in each rank), as well as to classify tame curve singularities themselves. A solution to this problem is developed for curve singularities with large conductor (i.e. for those curve singularities whose conductor contains the radical squared of the normalization). It turns out that, up to analytic isomorphism, there are 10 exceptionals and 1 one-parameter family of tame curve singularities with large conductor. They are characterized by the fact that a natural number which can be attached to any curve singularity with large conductor, has value 4. For each (but one) of them, the indecomposable lattices are classified via reduction to a tame matrix problem, whose solution is known from modern representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras.
