Abstract
Let be a normal two-dimensional local ring and an -primary integrally closed ideal with a minimal reduction . Then we calculate the numbers: , , and , where (resp. ) is the maximum of (resp. ) for all -primary integrally closed ideals . Then we have that , where is the geometric genus of . In this paper, we give an upper bound of when is a cone-like singularity (which has a minimal resolution whose exceptional set is a single smooth curve) and show, in particular, if is a hypersurface singularity defined by a homogeneous polynomial of degree , then . Also we give an example of and so that but for every integer .
