Abstract

Let (X,o)(X,o) be a complex analytic normal surface singularity with rational homology sphere link MM. The `topological' lattice cohomology H=q0Hq{\mathbb H}^*=\oplus_{q\geq 0} {\mathbb H}^q associated with MM and with any of its spinc^c structures was introduced by the author. Each Hq{\mathbb H}^q is a graded Z[U]{\mathbb Z}[U]--module. Here we consider its homological version H=q0Hq{\mathbb H}_*=\oplus_{q\geq 0}{\mathbb H}_q. The construction uses a Riemann-Roch type weight function. A key intermediate product is a tower of spaces {Sn}nZ\{S_n\}_{n\in {\mathbb Z}} such that Hq=nHq(Sn,Z){\mathbb H}_q=\oplus_n H_q(S_n,{\mathbb Z}). In this article we fix the embedded topological type of a reduced curve singularity (C,o)(C,o) embedded into (X,o)(X,o), that is, a 1-dimensional link LCML_C\subset M. Each component of LCL_C will also carry a non-negative integral decoration. For any fixed nn, the embedded link LCL_C provides a natural filtration of the space SnS_n, which induces a homological spectral sequence converging to the homogeneous summand Hq(Sn,Z)H_q(S_n,{\mathbb Z}) of the lattice homology. All the entries of all the pages of the spectral sequences are new invariants of the decorated (M,LC)(M,L_C). Each page provides a triple graded Z[U]{\mathbb Z}[U]-module. We provide several concrete computations of these pages and structure theorems for the corresponding multivariable Poincar\'e series associated with the entries of the spectral sequences. Connections with Jacobi theta series are also discussed.
