On $-K^2$ for normal surface singularities

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In this paper we show the lower bound of the set of non-zero K2-K^2 for normal surface singularities establishing that this set has no accumulation points from above. We also prove that every accumulation point from below is a rational number and every positive integer is an accumulation point. Every rational number can be an accumulation point modulo \bZ\bZ. We determine all accumulation points in [0,1][0, 1]. If we fix the value K2-K^2, then the values of pgp_g, pap_a, mult, embdim and the numerical indices are bounded, while the numbers of the exceptional curves are not bounded.
