Abstract
The classical Kodaira Vanishing Theorem states that Hi(X, {\omega}X \otimes L) = 0 for i > 0, where X is a smooth projective variety over C and L is an ample line bundle on X. We prove an analogous vanishing result under the assumption that X is a semi-smooth projective variety over C. This is done by passing to the normalization of X, which is a smooth projective variety when X is semi-smooth. The classical vanishing result is proved using a cyclic cover. Therefore we include a proof that the cyclic cover of a demi-normal variety is again demi-normal.
