Grauert-Riemenschneider multiplier ideal sheaves and the (optimal) Briançon-Skoda number

Abstract

The goal of this note is to survey some recent results on the Grauert-Riemenschneider multiplier ideal sheaves on any (reduced) complex space of pure dimension. In particular, we obtain the Briançon-Skoda number for any Noetherian ring of weakly holomorphic functions with weakly rational singularities (\emph{not} essentially of finite type over $\mathbb{C}$ and Cohen-Macaulay local rings), which will partially answer a question of Huneke.

Comments are welcome!
