Nonexistence of negative weight derivations of the local \(k\)-th Hessian algebras associated to isolated singularities (Q6045497)

For an isolated hypersurface singularity \((V,0)\) defined by a function \(f\colon (\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0) \to (\mathbb{C},0)\) let \(I_k\) be the ideal of \(k\times k\)-minors of Hessian matrix of \(f\). The algebra \(H_k(V)=\mathcal{O}_{n+1}/((f)+J(f)+I_k)\) generalises the Tjurina algebra of \(V\). For quasihomogeneous \(f\) the Authors conjecture that the (graded) derivation algebra does not contain derivations of negative weight. They describe counterexamples of low degree and prove the conjecture in a number of cases, for \(n\leq 3\).
