Hypersurface simple K3 singularities (Q810106)

The author classifies simple hypersurface K3 singularities (X,x) defined by a non-degenerated polynomial \(f(z_ 0,z_ 1,z_ 2,z_ 3)\) and he studies the minimal resolution \(\pi: (\tilde X,E)\to (X,x)\) and the singularities on the exceptional divisor E. A three-dimensional singularity (X,x) is a simple K3 singularity if (X,x) is quasi-Gorenstein and if the exceptional divisor E of any minimal resolution is a normal K3 surface, where a minimal resolution \(\pi: (\tilde X,E)\to (X,x)\) is a proper morphism with only terminal singularities on \(\tilde X,\) with \(\tilde X\simeq X\setminus \{x\}\) and with \(K_{\tilde X}\) nef with respect to \(\pi\). - The simple K3 singularities could be regarded as three-dimensional generalizations of simple elliptic singularities. If the simple K3 singularity (X,x) is defined by a non-degenerated polynomial f(z), then \((1,1,1,1)\in \Gamma(f)\). The weight \(\alpha =\alpha(f)=(\alpha_ 1,\alpha_ 2,\alpha_ 3,\alpha_ 4)\) of the quasi-homogeneous polynomial \(f_{\Delta_ 0}\) associated to the face \(\Delta_ 0\) containing (1,1,1,1) verifies \(\sum^{4}_{i=1}\alpha_ i =1\). - Then to classify the simple K3 singularities we need to study the set \(W_ 4\) of weights: \(W_ 4=\{\alpha \in {\mathbb{Q}}^ 4_+| \quad \sum^{4}_{i=1}\alpha_ i =1,\alpha_ 1\geq...\geq \alpha_ 4\) and \((1,1,1,1)\in Int(C(\alpha))\},\) where \(C(\alpha\)) is the closed cone in \({\mathbb{R}}^ 4\) generated by the set \(T(\alpha)=\{\nu \in {\mathbb{Z}}^ 4_ 0| \alpha.\nu =1\}.\) The author shows that the cardinality of \(W_ 4\) is 95, and for each weight \(\alpha\) he gives a quasi-homogeneous f of weight \(\alpha\) which defines a simple K3 singularity and such that \(\Delta_ 0=\Gamma (f)\) is the convex hull of \(T(\alpha\)). Then he constructs a minimal resolution \(\pi: \tilde X\to X\) using torus embedding: if the weight \(\alpha(f)=(p_ 1/p,...,p_ 4/p)\), where \(p_ 1,...,p_ 4\) are relatively prime integers, the filtered blow-up with weight \((p_ 1,...,p_ 4)\), \(\Pi: (V,F)\to ({\mathbb{C}}^ 4,0)\), induces a minimal resolution of (X,x). In the last part the author shows that under some conditions on the nondegenerate polynomial f defining the simple K3 singularity (X,x), the type and the number of the singularities on E are determined by the weight \(\alpha(f)\), independently of f.
