\'Etale triviality of finite equivariant vector bundles

Let H be a complex Lie group acting holomorphically on a complex analytic space X such that the restriction to X_{\mathrm{red}} of every H-invariant regular function on X is constant. We prove that an H-equivariant holomorphic vector bundle E over X is $H$-finite, meaning f_1(E)= f_2(E) as H-equivariant bundles for two distinct polynomials f_1 and f_2 whose coefficients are nonnegative integers, if and only if the pullback of E along some H-equivariant finite \'etale covering of X is trivial as an H-equivariant bundle.

Lipschitz Normal Embedding Among Superisolated Singularities

Any germ of a complex analytic space is equipped with two natural metrics: the outer metric induced by the hermitian metric of the ambient space and the inner metric, which is the associated riemannian metric on the germ. A complex analytic germ is said Lipschitz normally embedded (LNE) if its outer and inner metrics are bilipschitz equivalent. LNE seems to be fairly rare among surface singularities; the only known LNE surface germs outside the trivial case (straight cones) are the minimal singularities. In this paper, we show that a superisolated hypersurface singularity is LNE if and only if its projectivized tangent cone has only ordinary singularities. This provides an infinite family of LNE singularities, which is radically different from the class of minimal singularities.

The Af condition and relative conormal spaces for functions with nonvanishing derivative

We introduce a join construction, as a way of completing the description of the relative conormal space of an analytic function on a complex analytic space that has a non-vanishing derivative at the origin. Then we show how to obtain a numerical criterion for Thom’s [Formula: see text] condition.

Lowest weights in cohomology of variations of Hodge structure

LetXbe an irreducible complex analytic space withj:U ↪ Xan immersion of a smooth Zariski-open subset, and let 𝕍 be a variation of Hodge structure of weightnoverU. Assume thatXis compact Kähler. Then, provided that the local monodromy operators at infinity are quasi-unipotent,IHk(X, 𝕍) is known to carry a pure Hodge structure of weightk+n, whileHk(U, 𝕍) carries a mixed Hodge structure of weight at leastk+n. In this note it is shown that the image of the natural mapIHk(X, 𝕍) →Hk(U, 𝕍) is the lowest-weight part of this mixed Hodge structure. In the algebraic case this easily follows from the formalism of mixed sheaves, but the analytic case is rather complicated, in particular when the complementX — Uis not a hypersurface.

INTERSECTION COHOMOLOGY, MONODROMY AND THE MILNOR FIBER

We say that a complex analytic space, X, is an intersection cohomology manifold if and only if the shifted constant sheaf on X is isomorphic to intersection cohomology; with field coefficients, this is quickly seen to be equivalent to X being a homology manifold. Given an analytic function f on an intersection cohomology manifold, we describe a simple relation between V(f) being an intersection cohomology manifold and the vanishing cycle Milnor monodromy of f. We then describe how the Sebastiani–Thom isomorphism allows us to easily produce intersection cohomology manifolds with arbitrary singular sets. Finally, as an easy application, we obtain restrictions on the cohomology of the Milnor fiber of a hypersurface with a special type of one-dimensional critical locus.

Differential Forms and Resolutions on Certain Analytic Spaces II. Flat Resolutions

This paper gives another construction of (0, p)-forms on a complex analytic space and of the operator. This construction is independent of the one in [1] and apart from the general result of Section 1 of [1], it can be read independently. As in [1], the hypotheses on S are the following: S has normal singularities, its singular locus X is smooth, the exceptional divisor in a desingularization of S is irreducible.

Holomorphic automorphisms and cancellation theorems

Let X be a complex analytic space of positive dimension and A a complex analytic subvariety of X. We call A a direct factor of X if there exist a complex analytic space B and a biholomorphic mapping f: A × B → X such that, for some b ∊ B, f(a, b) = a on A, and a complex analytic space X to be primary if X has no direct factor, not equal to X itself, of positive dimension.

On Meromorphic Mappings into Taut Complex Analytic Spaces

In this paper, we study a certain difference between meromorphic mappings and holomorphic mappings into taut complex analytic spaces. We prove in §2 that, for any complex analytic space X, there exists a unique proper modification of X with center Sg (X) which is minimal with respect to the property that M(X) is normal and, for any T-meromorphic mapping f: X → Y (see Definition 1.3) into a complex analytic space Y, there exists a unique holomorphic mapping such that except some nowhere dense complex analytic set, where Sg(X) denotes the set of all singular points of X.
