Abstract: The stringy E-function for normal irreducible complex varieties with at worst log terminal singularities was introduced by Batyrev. It is defined by data from a log resolution. If the variety is projective and Gorenstein and the stringy E-function is a polynomial, Batyrev also defined the stringy Hodge numbers as a generalization of the Hodge numbers of nonsingular projective varieties, and conjectured that they are nonnegative. We compute explicit formulae for the contribution of an A-D-E singularity to the stringy E-function in arbitrary dimension. With these results we can say when the stringy E-function of a variety with such singularities is a polynomial and in that case we prove that the stringy Hodge numbers are nonnegative.

Review text

The stringy \(E\)-function for normal irreducible complex varieties with log terminal singularities (introduced by Batyrev) is defined by data from a log resolution. An explicit formula is given for the contribution of an \(A\)-\(D\)-\(E\) singularity to the stringy \(E\)-function. Batyrev also introduced stringy Hodge numbers and conjectured that they are non--negative. This conjecture is proved for the \(A\)-\(D\)-\(E\) singularities provided the stringy \(E\)-function is a polynomial. (This is the case if and only if the variety is projective of dimension \(3\) and has singularities of type \(A_n\) (\(n\) odd) and/or \(D_n\) (\(n\) even)).
