Abstract

Let (V, 0) be an isolated hypersurface singularity defined by the holomorphic function f: (Cn, 0) → (C, 0). In our previous work, we introduced a series of novel Lie algebras associated to (V, 0), i.e., k-th Yau algebra Lk(V) , k≥ 0. It was defined to be the Lie algebra of derivations of the k-th moduli algebras Ak(V) = On/ (f, mkJ(f)) , k≥ 0 , where m is the maximal ideal of On. I.e., Lk(V) : = Der (Ak(V) , Ak(V)). The dimension of Lk(V) was denoted by λk(V). The number λk(V) , which was called k-th Yau number, is a subtle numerical analytic invariant of (V, 0). Furthermore, we formulated two conjectures for these k-th Yau number invariants: a sharp upper estimate conjecture of λk(V) for weighted homogeneous isolated hypersurface singularities (see Conjecture 1.2) and an inequality conjecture λ(k+1)(V) > λk(V) , k≥ 0 (see Conjecture 1.1). In this article, we verify these two conjectures when k is small for large class of singularities.
