Abstract

Koyama’s inequality for normal surface singularities gives the upper bound on the self-intersection number of the canonical cycle in terms of the arithmetic genus. For those singularities of fundamental genus two attaining the bound, a formula for computing the geometric genus is shown and the resolution dual graphs are roughly classified. In Gorenstein case, the multiplicity and the embedding dimension are also computed.
