Du Bois singularity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Du Bois singularities)

In algebraic geometry, Du Bois singularities are singularities of complex varieties studied by Du Bois (1981).

Schwede (2007) gave the following characterisation of Du Bois singularities. Suppose that is a reduced closed subscheme of a smooth scheme .

Take a log resolution of in that is an isomorphism outside , and let be the reduced preimage of in . Then has Du Bois singularities if and only if the induced map is a quasi-isomorphism.
