EIN, LAZARSFELD, SMITH, AND VAROLIN coherent sheaves of ideals, and it is well-known that lct(A;As c grows larger, the ideals J X , c • A decrease, and the idea is simply to look at those (necessarily rational) values of c at which their stalks at x jump. Specifically, it is elementary that there is an increasing discrete sequencefor every i. (Here we agree by convention that J X , 0Definition. The rational numbers ξ i (A; x) are the jumping coefficients or jumping numbers of A at x. We say that ξ is a jumping coefficient of A on X if it is a jumping number of A at some point x ∈ X.Given an ideal sheaf a ⊆ O X , the jumping numbers ξ i (a; x) ∈ Q are defined similarly using the multiplier ideals J X , c • a = J X , a c .We begin in Section 1 by establishing some formal properties of these numbers:Proposition A. Let A be an effective integral divisor on X passing through x.(i). The collection of all jumping numbers of A is periodic with period 1. Specifically, ξ is a jumping number for A at x if and only if (1 + ξ) is. (ii). The jumping numbers of A satisfy the inequality (1) ξ i+1 (A; x) ≤ ξ i (A; x) + ξ 1 (A; x)for every i ≥ 1. 40 (1983), 641-652.
We consider stable manifolds of a holomorphic diffeomorphism of a complex
manifold. Using a conjugation of the dynamics to a (non-stationary) polynomial
normal form, we show that typical stable manifolds are biholomorphic to complex
Euclidean space.Comment: 17 pages. Revised version. To appear in Inv. Mat
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
