The irregularity is expressed as a sum of superabundances of linear systems associated to some multiplier ideals of the branch curve and the proof rests on the theory of standard cyclic coverings. Explicit computations of multiplier ideals are performed and some applications are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-04-10T13:13:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14E20", "14E22", "14B05" ], "keywords": [ "irregularity", "branch curve", "multiplier ideals", "standard cyclic coverings", "cyclic multiple plane" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......3427N" } } }
