Abstract:

An important invariant of a polynomial f is its Jacobian algebra defined by its partial derivatives. Let f be invariant with respect to the action of a finite group of diagonal symmetries G. We axiomatically define an orbifold Jacobian Z/2Z-graded algebra for the pair (f,G) and show its existence and uniqueness in the case, when f is an invertible polynomial. In case when f defines an ADE singularity, we illustrate its geometric meaning.
