Abstract

We study the normal bundles of the exceptional sets of higher dimensional isolated simple small singularities when the Picard groups of the exceptional sets are of rank one and their normal bundles have certain good filtrations. In particular, we prove numerical inequalities satisfied by normal bundles of exceptional sets. Moreover, we generalize Laufer’s results on rationality and embedding dimension of singularities to higher dimension.
