Abstract:
We study the obstruction space ${T^2}$ for minimally elliptic surface singularities. We apply the main lemma of our previous paper [3] which relates ${T^2}$ to deformations of hypersurface sections. To use this we classify general hypersurface sections of minimally elliptic singularities. As in the rational singularity case there is a simple formula for the minimal number of generators for ${T^2}$ as a module over the local ring. This number is in many cases (e.g. for cusps of Hilbert modular surfaces) equal to the vector space dimension of ${T^2}$.References
