Families of jets of arc type and higher (co)dimensional Du Val singularities by de Fernex, Tommaso, Wang, Shih-Hsin

“…Families of jets through singularities of algebraic varieties are here studied in relation to the families of arcs originally studied by Nash. After proving a general result relating them, we look at normal locally complete intersection varieties with rational singularities and focus on a class of singularities we call higher Du Val singularities, a higher dimensional (and codimensional) version of Du Val singularities that is closely related to Arnold singularities. …”
