Three-dimensional counter-examples to the Nash problem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 August 2013
Abstract
The Nash problem asks about the existence of a correspondence between families of arcs through singularities of complex varieties and certain types of divisorial valuations. It has been positively settled in dimension 2 by Fernández de Bobadilla and Pe Pereira, and it was shown to have a negative answer in all dimensions ${\geq }4$ by Ishii and Kollár. In this note we discuss examples which show that the problem has a negative answer in dimension 3 as well. These examples also bring to light the different nature of the problem depending on whether it is formulated in the algebraic setting or in the analytic setting.
