The delta invariant of curves on rational surfaces II: Poincar\'e series and topological aspects

We prove that if (C,0) is a reduced curve germ on a rational surface singularity (X,0) then its delta invariant can be recovered by a concrete expression associated with the embedded topological type of the pair (X,C). Furthermore, we also identify it with another (a priori) embedded analytic invariant, which is motivated by the theory of adjoint ideals. Finally, we connect our formulae with the local correction term at singular points of the global Riemann--Roch formula, val...

Let (C,0) be a reduced curve germ in a normal surface singularity (X,0). The main goal is to recover the delta invariant of the abstract curve (C,0) from the topology of the embedding. We give explicit formulae whenever (C,0) is minimal generic and (X,0) is rational (as a continuation of previous works of the authors). Additionally we prove that if (X,0) is a quotient singularity, then the delta invariant of (C,0) only admits the values r-1 or r, where r is the number or irre...

In this paper we provide some factorization theorems of the Poincar\'e series $P_C$ of a plane curve singularity $C$ depending on some key values of the semigroup of values of \(C\). These results yield an iterative computation of $P_C$ in purely algebraic terms from the dual resolution graph of $C$. On the other hand, Campillo, Delgado and Gusein-Zade showed in 2003 the equality between $P_C$ and the Alexander polynomial $\Delta_L$ of the corresponding link $L$. Our procedur...

The purpose of this paper is to extend the notions of generalised Poincar\'e series and divisorial generalised Poincar\'e series (of motivic nature) introduced by Campillo, Delgado and Gusein-Zade for complex curve singularities to curves defined over perfect fields, as well as to express them in terms of an embedded resolution of curves.

The delta invariant interprets the criterion for the K-(poly)stability of log terminal Fano varieties. In this paper, we determine the whole local delta invariant for all weak del Pezzo surfaces with the anti-canonical degree $\geq 5$.

We provide sharp lower bounds for the multiplicity of a local holomorphic foliation defined in a complex surface in terms of data associated to a germ of invariant curve. Then we apply our methods to invariant curves whose branches are isolated, i.e. they are never contained in non-trivial analytic families of equisingular invariant curves. In this case we show that the multiplicity of an invariant curve is at most twice the multiplicity of the foliation. Finally, we apply th...
