The minimal cycles over Brieskorn complete intersection surface singularities (Q515000)

The authors generalise a result of \textit{T. Tomaru} for Brieskorn-Pham singularities [Pac. J. Math. 170, No. 1, 271--295 (1995; Zbl 0848.14017)] to the case of Brieskorn complete intersections. The minimal cycle on a resolution of a normal surface singularity is the smallest cycle with the same genus as the fundamental cycle. It coincides with the fundamental cycle for Brieskorn complete intersections of type \((a_1,\dots,a_m)\) if \(\text{lcm}((a_1,\dots,a_{m-1})\leq a_m < 2 \text{lcm}((a_1,\dots,a_{m-1})\). The proof is based on the explicit description of the resolution graph and the divisor of the function \(z_m\).
