Abstract:
Let $S$ be a noetherian local $k$-algebra and $G$ a finite group of $k$-automorphisms of $S$. If char $k = 0$ and $S$ has a rational singularity, then the invariant ring $R = {S^G}$ does also. However, if char $k \ne 0$, this is rarely true. We examine conditions on wild group actions in dimension two which ensure that the singularity of $R$ is rational. In particular, we develop a criterion in terms of the minimality of ${H^1}(G,S)$.References
