A Bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford Regularity of Log Canonical Varieties

Abstract

In this note, we give a bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a homogeneous ideal $I$ in terms of the degrees of its generators. We assume that $I$ defines a local complete intersection with log canonical singularities.Comment: 14 pages; Title changed; Typos corrected; To appear in Journal of Pure and Applied Algebr
