Abstract

In this chapter we consider normal singularities of two-dimensional varieties over \(\mathbb{C}\). A two-dimensional integral algebraic variety is called a surface. A normal singularity on a surface is an isolated singularity and by Corollary 3.5.17 it is a Cohen–Macauley singularity.

If an experiment works, something has gone wrong [Mur].
