In this paper we prove, using mixed Hodge theory, that if the link of each singular point of X is (n-2)-connected, then X is a formal topological space. This result applies to a large class of examples, such as normal surface singularities, varieties with ordinary multiple points, hypersurfaces with isolated singularities and more generally, complete intersections with isolated singularities. We obtain analogous results for contractions of subvarieties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-03-18T11:23:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "55P62", "32S35" ], "keywords": [ "complex projective variety", "normal isolated singularities", "rational homotopy", "ordinary multiple points", "normal surface singularities" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150305347C" } } }
