normal complex analytic variety
Let be a local complex analytic variety (or a complex analytic space). A point is if and only if every weakly holomorphic function through extends to beholomorphic in near
In particular, if is a complex analytic subvariety, it is normal at if and only if every weakly holomorphic function through extends to be holomorphic in a neighbourhood of in .
To see that this definition is equivalent to the usual one, that is, that is normalat if and only if (the ring of germs of holomorphic functions at )is integrally closed![]()
, we need the following theorem. Let be the total quotient ring of , that is, the ring of germs of meromorphic functions.
Theorem.
Let be a local complex analytic variety. Then is the integralclosure![]()
