Abstract: We address Nash problem for surface singularities using wedges. We give a refinement of the characterisation of A. Reguera of the image of the Nash map in terms of wedges. Our improvement consists in a characterisation of the bijectivity of the Nash mapping using wedges defined over the base field, which are convergent if the base field is the field of complex numbers, and whose generic arc has transverse lifting to the exceptional divisor of a resolution of singularities. This improves the recent results of M. Lejeune-Jalabert and A. Reguera for the surface case. In the way to do this we find a reformulation of Nash problem in terms of branched covers of normal surface singularities. As a corollary of this reformulation we prove that the image of the Nash mapping is characterised by the combinatorics of a resolution of the singularity, or, what is the same, by the topology of the abstract link of the singularity in the complex analytic case. Using these results we prove several reductions of the Nash problem, the most notable being that, if Nash problem is true for singularities having rational homology sphere links, then it is true in general.

Review text

The Nash problem on arc spaces is to ask for the bijectivity between the set of irreducible components of arc spaces passing through the singular locus and the set of the essential divisors of the resolution of the singularities. This problem is negatively answered by \textit{J. Kollár} and the reviewer [Duke Math. J. 120, No. 3, 601--620 (2003; Zbl 1052.14011)] for dimension greater than or equal to 4.NEWLINENEWLINE This paper part of the author's approach to solve the Nash problem in the surface case and reduces the problem into a topological problem. He proves that the condition that an essential divisor is not corresponding to the irreducible component of the arc spaces through the singularity depends on the dual weighted graph of the minimal good resolution.
