Log canonical threshold and Segre classes of monomial schemes (Q487152)

The paper under review studies the Segre classes of subschemes of projective space defined by monomial ideals. The Segre class is shown to be computable by a formula involving the log canonical thresholds of certain extensions of the ideal. The author poses the question to what extent his result might hold for non-monomial schemes. The proof relies on a result of \textit{J. A. Howald} describing the multiplier ideal of a monomial ideal [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 353, No. 7, 2665--2671 (2001; Zbl 0979.13026)] and a more recent result of the author [``Segre classes as integrals over polytopes'', to appear in J. Eur. Math. Soc., \url{arXiv:1307.0830}].
