Suppose that (K, $ u$) is a valued field, f (z) $in$ K[z] is a unitary and irreducible polynomial and (L, $omega$) is an extension of valued fields, where L = K[z]/(f (z)). Further suppose that A is a local domain with quotient field K such that $ u$ has nonnegative value on A and positive value on its maximal ideal, and that f (z) is in A[z]. This paper is devoted to the problem of describing the structure of the associated graded ring gr $omega$ A[z]/(f (z)) of A[z]/(f (z)) for the filtration defined by $omega$ as an extension of the associated graded ring of A for the filtration defined by $ u$. In particular we give an algorithm which in many cases produces a finite set of elements of A[z]/(f (z)) whose images in gr $omega$ A[z]/(f (z)) generate it as a gr $ u$ A-algebra as well as the relations between them. We also work out the interactions of our method of computation with phenomena which complicate the study of ramification and local uniformization in positive characteristic , such as the non tameness and the defect of an extension. For valuations of rank one in a separable extension of valued fields (K, $ u$) $subset$ (L, $omega$) as above our algorithm produces a generating sequence in a local birational extension A1 of A dominated by $ u$ if and only if there is no defect. In this case, gr $omega$ A1[z]/(f (z)) is a finitely presented gr $ u$ A1-module. This is an improved version, thanks to a referees remarks.
In this paper we generalize the definitions of singularities of pairs and multiplier ideal sheaves to pairs on arbitrary normal varieties, without any assumption on the variety being Q-Gorenstein or the pair being log Q-Gorenstein. The main features of the theory extend to this setting in a natural way.
For a reduced hypersurface $V(f) subseteq mathbb{P}^n$ of degree $d$, the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the Milnor algebra $M(f)$ is well understood when $V(f)$ is smooth, as well as when $V(f)$ has isolated singularities. We study the regularity of $M(f)$ when $V(f)$ has a positive dimensional singular locus. In certain situations, we prove that the regularity is bounded by $(d-2)(n+1)$, which is the degree of the Hessian polynomial of $f$. However, this is not always the case, and we prove that in $mathbb{P}^n$ the regularity of the Milnor algebra can grow quadratically in $d$.
The ACC conjecture for local volumes predicts that the set of local volumes of klt singularities $xin (X,Delta)$ satisfies the ACC if the coefficients of $Delta$ belong to a DCC set. In this paper, we prove the ACC conjecture for local volumes under the assumption that the ambient germ is analytically bounded. We introduce another related conjecture, which predicts the existence of $delta$-plt blow-ups of a klt singularity whose local volume has a positive lower bound. We show that the latter conjecture also holds when the ambient germ is analytically bounded. Moreover, we prove that both conjectures hold in dimension 2 as well as for 3-dimensional terminal singularities.
In this paper, we study factorizations in the additive monoids of positive algebraic valuations $mathbb{N}_0[alpha]$ of the semiring of polynomials $mathbb{N}_0[X]$ using a methodology introduced by D. D. Anderson, D. F. Anderson, and M. Zafrullah in 1990. A cancellative commutative monoid is atomic if every non-invertible element factors into irreducibles. We begin by determining when $mathbb{N}_0[alpha]$ is atomic, and we give an explicit description of its set of irreducibles. An atomic monoid is a finite factorization monoid (FFM) if every element has only finitely many factorizations (up to order and associates), and it is a bounded factorization monoid (BFM) if for every element there is a bound for the number of irreducibles (counting repetitions) in each of its factorizations. We show that, for the monoid $mathbb{N}_0[alpha]$, the property of being a BFM and the property of being an FFM are equivalent to the ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP). Finally, we give various characterizations for $mathbb{N}_0[alpha]$ to be a unique factorization monoid (UFM), two of them in terms of the minimal polynomial of $alpha$. The properties of being finitely generated, half-factorial, and other-half-factorial are also investigated along the way.
In this paper we study the local cohomology modules of Du Bois singularities. Let $(R,m)$ be a local ring, we prove that if $R_{red}$ is Du Bois, then $H_m^i(R)to H_m^i(R_{red})$ is surjective for every $i$. We find many applications of this result. For example we answer a question of Kovacs and the second author on the Cohen-Macaulay property of Du Bois singularities. We obtain results on the injectivity of $Ext$ that provide substantial partial answers of questions of Eisenbud-Mustata-Stillman in characteristic $0$, and these results can be viewed as generalizations of the Kodaira vanishing theorem for Cohen-Macaulay Du Bois varieties. We prove results on the set-theoretic Cohen-Macaulayness of the defining ideal of Du Bois singularities, which are characteristic $0$ analog of results of Singh-Walther and answer some of their questions. We extend results of Hochster-Roberts on the relation between Koszul cohomology and local cohomology for $F$-injective and Du Bois singularities, see Hochster-Roberts. We also prove that singularities of dense $F$-injective type deform.
