Abstract:
We report on an investigation of four-dimensional terminal cyclic quotient singularities which are not Gorenstein. (For simplicity, we focus on quotients by cyclic groups of prime order.) An enumeration, using a computer, of all such singularities for primes $< 1600$ led us to conjecture a structure theorem for these singularities (which is rather more complicated than the known structure theorem in dimension three). We discuss this conjecture and our evidence for it; we also discuss properties of the anticanonical and antibicanonical linear systems of these singularities.References
