Embeddings of Demi-Normal Varieties
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Our primary result is that a demi-normal quasi-projective variety can be embedded in a demi-normal projective variety. Recall that a demi-normal variety is a variety with properties , , and seminormality. Equivalently, has Serre's property and there is an open subvariety with complement of codimension at least 2 in , such that the only singularities of are (analytically) double normal crossings. The term demi-normal was coined by Koll'ar in cite{Kol13}. As a consequence of this embedding theorem, we prove a semi-smooth Grauert-Riemenschneider vanishing theorem for quasi-projective varieties, the projective case having been settled in cite{Berq14}. The original form of this vanishing result appears in cite{GR70}. We prove an analogous result for semi-rational singularities. The definition of semi-rationality requires that the choice of a semi-resolution is immaterial. This also has been established in the projective case in cite{Berq14}. The analogous result for quasi-projective varieties is settled here. Semi-rational surface singularities have also been studied in cite{vS87}.
