Local cohomology of Du Bois singularities
Abstract: We prove a new result relating the local cohomology of scheme-theoretic thickenings of Du Bois singularities to the local cohomology of the original Du Bois singularity. This yields a number of results. For instance, this allows us to generalize a result of Kollár-Kovács to non-projective families. It lets us answer a question of Eisenbud-Mustata-Stillman on the relation between Ext and local cohomology. Finally, it implies that singularities of dense F-injective type deform. This is joint work with Linquan Ma and Kazuma Shimomoto.
