HOMOLOGICAL INDEX FOR 1-FORMS AND A MILNOR NUMBER FOR ISOLATED SINGULARITIES

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce a notion of a homological index of a holomorphic 1-form on a germ of a complex analytic variety with an isolated singularity, inspired by X. G'omez-Mont and G.-M. Greuel. For isolated complete intersection singularities it coincides with the index defined earlier by two of the authors. Subtracting from this index another one, called radial, we get an invariant of the singularity which does not depend on the 1-form. For isolated complete intersection singularities this invariant coincides with the Milnor number. We compute this invariant for arbitrary curve singularities and compare it with the Milnor number introduced by R.-O. Buchweitz and G.-M. Greuel for such singularities.


Inspired by \textit{X. Gomez-Mont} [J. Algebr. Geom. 7, No. 4, 731--752 (1998; Zbl 0956.32029)] and \textit{G.-M. Greuel} [Math. Ann. 214, 235--266 (1975; Zbl 0285.14002)], the authors introduce the notion of a homological index of a holomorphic 1-form on a germ of a complex analytic variety with an isolated singularity. In the case of isolated complete intersection singularities this index coincides with an earlier defined index by the first two of the authors [Dokl. Math. 64, No.2, 221--224 (2001; Zbl 1086.32501)]. Subtracting from this index another one (called radial) one gets an invariant of the singularity independent of the 1-form. For isolated complete intersection singularities this invariant coincides with the Milnor number. The authors compute this invariant for arbitrary curve singularities and compare it with the Milnor number introduced by \textit{R.-O. Buchweitz} and \textit{G.-U. Greuel} [Invent. Math. 58, 241--281 (1980; Zbl 0458.32014)] for such singularities.
