Multiplier ideals and klt singularities via (derived) splittings

Peter M. McDonald

Abstract

Let $X$ be a normal, excellent, noetherian scheme over $\operatorname{Spec}\mathbb{Q}$ with a dualizing complex. In this note, we find an alternate characterization of the multiplier ideal of $X$, as defined by de Fernex-Hacon, by considering maps $π_*ω_Y\to\mathcal{O}_X$ where $π:Y\to X$ ranges over all regular alterations. As a corollary to this result, we give a derived splinter characterization of klt singularities, akin to the characterization of rational singularities given by Kovács and Bhatt. We also give an analogous description of the test ideal in characteristic $p>2$ as a corollary to a result of Epstein-Schwede.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $X$ be a normal, excellent, noetherian scheme over $\operatorname{Spec}\mathbb{Q}$ with a dualizing complex and $I=\prod\mathscr{J}_k^{a_k}$ be a formal effective $\mathbb{Q}$-linear combination of ideal sheaves on $X$. The multiplier ideal $\mathscr{J}(X,I)$ can be realized as where $\pi:Y\to X$ ranges over all log regular alterations of $(X,I)$ with $E_Y=\sum a_kE_k$ for $\mathscr{J}_k\math
