Nash multiplicities and isolated points of maximum multiplicity

Algebraic Geometry 2018-09-19 v3

Abstract

Let XX be an algebraic variety defined over a field of characteristic zero, and let ξMax  mult(X)\xi \in \mathrm{\underline{Max}\; mult}(X) be a point in the closed subset of maximum multiplicity of XX. We provide a criterion, given in terms of arcs, to determine whether ξ\xi is isolated in Max  mult(X)\mathrm{\underline{Max}\; mult}(X). More precisely, we use invariants of arcs derived from the Nash multiplicity sequence to characterize when ξ\xi is an isolated point in Max  mult(X)\mathrm{\underline{Max}\; mult}(X).
