Abstract: In this note, we prove a sharp lower bound for the log canonical threshold of a plurisubharmonic function

v a r p h i

with an isolated singularity at

0

in an open subset of

{m a t h b b C}^{n}

. This threshold is defined as the supremum of constants

c > 0

such that

e^{- 2 c v a r p h i}

is integrable on a neighborhood of

0

. We relate

c (v a r p h i)

with the intermediate multiplicity numbers

e_{j} (v a r p h i)

, defined as the Lelong numbers of

(d d^{c} v a r p h i)^{j}

at

0

(so that in particular

e_{0} (v a r p h i) = 1

). Our main result is that

c (v a r p h i) g e s u m e_{j} (v a r p h i) / e_{j + 1} (v a r p h i)

,

0 l e j l e n - 1

. This inequality is shown to be sharp; it simultaneously improves the classical result

c (v a r p h i) g e 1 / e_{1} (v a r p h i)

due to Skoda, as well as the lower estimate

c (v a r p h i) g e n / e_{n} (v a r p h i)^{1 / n}

which has received crucial applications to birational geometry in recent years. The proof consists in a reduction to the toric case, i.e. singularities arising from monomial ideals.
