A Simple Characterization of Du Bois Singularities

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove the following theorem characterizing Du Bois singularities. Suppose that Y is smooth and that X is a reduced closed subscheme. Let pi:ldYoY be a log resolution of X in Y that is an isomorphism outside of X. If E is the reduced pre-image of X in ldY, then X has Du Bois singularities if and only if the natural map OXoRpi∗OE is a quasi-isomorphism. We also deduce Koll'ar's conjecture that log canonical singularities are Du Bois in the special case of a local complete intersection and prove other results related to adjunction.
