We prove that the irreducible components of the characteristic varieties of
quasi-projective manifolds are either pull-backs of such components for
orbifolds, or torsion points. This gives an interpretation for the so-called
\emph{translated} components of the characteristic varieties, and shows that
the zero-dimensional components are indeed torsion. The main result is used to
derive further obstructions for a group to be the fundamental group of a
quasi-projective manifold.Comment: 33 pages, no figures. General rearrangement and proof of Proposition

We prove that if (C, 0) is a reduced curve germ on a rational surface singularity (X, 0) then its delta invariant can be recovered by a concrete expression associated with the embedded topological type of the pair C ⊂ X. Furthermore, we also identify it with another (a priori) embedded analytic invariant, which is motivated by the theory of adjoint ideals. Finally, we connect our formulae with the local correction term at singular points of the global Riemann-Roch formula, valid for projective normal surfaces, introduced by Blache.
In this paper we extend the concept of Milnor fiber and Milnor number to curve germs on surface quotient singularities. A generalization of the local δ-invariant is defined and described in terms of a Q-resolution of the curve singularity. In particular, when applied to the classical case (the ambient space is a smooth surface) one obtains a formula for the classical δ-invariant in terms of a Q-resolution, which simplifies considerably effective computations. All these tools will finally allow for an explicit description of the genus formula of a curve defined on a weighted projective plane in terms of its degree and the local type of its singularities.
This paper deals with the invariant R X called the RR-correction term, which appears in the Riemann Roch and Numerical Adjunction Formulas for normal surface singularities. Typically, R X = δ top X − δ an X decomposes as difference of topological and analytical local invariants of its singularities. The invariant δ top X is well understood and depends only on the dual graph of a good resolution. The purpose of this paper is to give a new interpretation for δ an X , which in the case of cyclic quotient singularities can be explicitly computed via generic divisors.We also include two types of applications: one is related to the McKay decomposition of reflexive modules in terms of special reflexive modules in the context of the McKay correspondence. The other application answers two questions posed by Blache [5] on the asymptotic behavior of the invariant R X of the pluricanonical divisor.
Abstract. In a previous work, the third named author found a combinatorics of line arrangements whose realizations live in the cyclotomic group of the fifth roots of unity and such that their non-complex-conjugate embedding are not topologically equivalent in the sense that they are not embedded in the same way in the complex projective plane. That work does not imply that the complements of the arrangements are not homeomorphic. In this work we prove that the fundamental groups of the complements are not isomorphic. It provides the first example of a pair of Galois-conjugate plane curves such that the fundamental groups of their complements are not isomorphic (despite the fact that they have isomorphic profinite completions).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
