Abstract

Let XX be a projective scheme over a field kk and let AA be the local ring at the vertex of the affine cone of XX under some embedding XPknX\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}^n_k. We prove that, when ch(k)>0\ch(k)>0, the Lyubeznik numbers λi,j(A)\lambda_{i,j}(A) are intrinsic numerical invariants of XX, i.e., λi,j(A)\lambda_{i,j}(A) depend only on XX, but not on the embedding.
