Remarks on eigenspectra of isolated singularities

Ben Castor, Haohua Deng, Matt Kerr and Gregory Pearlstein

Vol. 327 (2023), No. 1, 29–54
Abstract

We introduce a simple calculus, extending a variant of the Steenbrink spectrum, to describe Hodge-theoretic invariants for smoothings of isolated singularities with relative automorphisms. After computing these “eigenspectra” in the quasihomogeneous case, we give three applications to singularity bounding and monodromy of variations of Hodge structure (VHS).

Keywords
isolated singularity, nodes, spectrum, eigenspectrum, quasihomogeneous singularity, Calabi–Yau variety, variation of Hodge structure, monodromy
