Abstract

In this paper we give a complete description of the irreducible components of the jet schemes (with origin in the singular locus) of a two-dimensional quasi-ordinary hypersurface singularity. We associate with these components and with their codimensions and embedding dimensions, a weighted graph. We prove that the data of this weighted graph is equivalent to the data of the topological type of the singularity. We also determine a component of the jet schemes (or equivalently, a divisor on A3\mathbb{A}^3), that computes the log canonical threshold of the singularity embedded in A3\mathbb{A}^3. This provides us with pairs XA3X\subset\mathbb{A}^3 whose log canonical thresholds are not contributed by monomial divisorial valuations. Note that for a pair CA2C\subset\mathbb{A}^2, where CC is a plane curve, the log canonical threshold is always contributed by a monomial divisorial valuation (in suitable coordinates of A2\mathbb{A}^2).
