Abstract

Let (V,0) be an isolated hypersurface singularity defined by the holomorphic function f: (ℂn, 0) → (ℂ, 0). The k-th Yau algebra Lk(V) is defined to be the Lie algebra of derivations of the k-th moduli algebra Ak(V) : = On/ (f, mkJ(f)) , where k ≥ 0, m is the maximal ideal of On. I.e., Lk(V) := Der(Ak(V),Ak(V)). These new series of derivation Lie algebras are quite subtle invariants since they capture enough information about the complexity of singularities. In this paper we formulate a conjecture for the complete characterization of ADE singularities by using generalized Cartan matrix Ck(V) associated to k-th Yau algebras Lk(V), k ≥ 1. In this paper, we provide evidence for the conjecture and give a new complete characterization for ADE singularities. Furthermore, we compute their other various invariants that arising from the 1-st Yau algebra L1(V).
