Abstract

Let f be a polynomial over the complex numbers with an isolated singularity at 0 . We show that the multiplicity and the log canonical threshold of f at 0 are invariants of the link of f viewed as a contact submanifold of the sphere.

This is done by first constructing a spectral sequence converging to the fixed-point Floer cohomology of any iterate of the Milnor monodromy map whose E 1 page is explicitly described in terms of a log resolution of f . This spectral sequence is a generalization of a formula by A’Campo. By looking at this spectral sequence, we get a purely Floer-theoretic description of the multiplicity and log canonical threshold of  f .
