Floer cohomology, multiplicity and the log canonical threshold

Mark McLean

Geometry & Topology 23 (2019) 957–1056
Abstract

Let f be a polynomial over the complex numbers with an isolated singularity at 0. We show that the multiplicity and the log canonical threshold of f at 0 are invariants of the link of f viewed as a contact submanifold of the sphere.

This is done by first constructing a spectral sequence converging to the fixed-point Floer cohomology of any iterate of the Milnor monodromy map whose E1 page is explicitly described in terms of a log resolution of f. This spectral sequence is a generalization of a formula by A’Campo. By looking at this spectral sequence, we get a purely Floer-theoretic description of the multiplicity and log canonical threshold of f.
