Right simple singularities in positive characteristic

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We classify isolated hypersurface singularities finK[[x1,...,xn]], K an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0, which are simple w.r.t. right equivalence, that is, which have no moduli up to analytic coordinate change. For K=mathbbR or mathbbC this classification was initiated by Arnol'd, resulting in the famous ADE-series. The classification w.r.t. contact equivalence for p>0 was done by Greuel and Kr"oning with a result similar to Arnol'd's. It is surprising that w.r.t. right equivalence and for any given p>0 we have only finitely many simple singularities, i.e. there are only finitely many k such that Ak and Dk are right simple, all the others have moduli. A major point of this paper is the generalization of the notion of modality to the algebraic setting, its behaviour under morphisms, and its relations to formal deformation theory. As an application we show that the modality is semicontinuous in any characteristic.
