Abstract

For a complex algebraic variety XX, we introduce higher pp-Du Bois singularity by imposing canonical isomorphisms between the sheaves of K\"ahler differential forms ΩXq\Omega_X^q and the shifted graded pieces of the Du Bois complex ΩXq\underline{\Omega}_X^q for qpq\le p. If XX is a reduced hypersurface, we show that higher pp-Du~Bois singularity coincides with higher pp-log canonical singularity, generalizing a well-known theorem for p=0p=0. The assertion that pp-log canonicity implies pp-Du Bois has been proved by Mustata, Olano, Popa, and Witaszek quite recently as a corollary of two theorems asserting that the sheaves of reflexive differential forms ΩX[q]\Omega_X^{[q]} (qpq\le p) coincide with ΩXq\Omega_X^q and ΩXq\underline{\Omega}_X^q respectively, and these are shown by calculating the depth of the latter two sheaves. We construct explicit isomorphisms between ΩXq\Omega_X^q and ΩXq\underline{\Omega}_X^q applying the acyclicity of a Koszul complex in a certain range. We also improve some non-vanishing assertion shown by them using mixed Hodge modules and the Tjurina subspectrum in the isolated singularity case. This is useful for instance to estimate the lower bound of the maximal root of the reduced Bernstein-Sato polynomial in the case where a quotient singularity is a hypersurface and its singular locus has codimension at most 4.
