Abstract

Let (A,m)(A,\mathfrak{m}) be a complete equicharacteristic Noetherian domain of dimension d+12d + 1 \geq 2. Assume k=A/mk = A/\mathfrak{m} has characteristic zero and that AA is not a regular local ring. Let Sing(A)Sing(A) the singular locus of AA be defined by an ideal JJ in AA. Note J0J \neq 0. Let fJ f \in J with f0f \neq 0. Set R=AfR = A_f. Then RR is a regular domain of dimension dd. We show RR contains naturally a field k((X))\ell \cong k((X)). Let g\mathfrak{g} be the set of \ell-linear derivations of RR and let D(R)D(R) be the subring of Hom(R,R)Hom_\ell(R,R) generated by g\mathfrak{g} and the multiplication operators defined by elements in the ring RR. We show that D(R)D(R), the ring of \ell-linear differential operators on RR, is a left, right Noetherian ring of global dimension dd. This enables us to prove Lyubeznik's conjecture on RR modulo a conjecture on roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomials over power series rings.
