Weak normality and Lipschitz saturation for ordinary singularities. (English) Zbl 0591.14009
Let X be an algebraic variety defined over an algebraically closed field K. There are two homeomorphic varieties associated to X, the weak normalization $$X^*$$ of X and the Lipschitz saturation $$\tilde X$$ of X such that if $$X^{\#}$$ is the normalization of X one has the following decomposition of the normalization morphism $\pi : X^{\#} \to X : X^{\#} \to X^* \to \tilde X \to X.$ If X is weakly normal (i.e $$X^*=X)$$ then it is Lipschitz saturated (i.e. $$\tilde X=X)$$. The converse of this assertion is false. The main result of this paper is the following: if X is obtained from a nonsingular projective variety by means of a linear projection from a center in general position, then $$X^*=\tilde X=X$$. The main tool to prove this is to compare the weak normalization and the Lipschitz saturation using the double point scheme of the projection morphism.
