dc.descriptionBatyrev has defined the stringy E-function for complex varieties with at most log terminal singularities. It is a rational function in two variables if the singularities are Gorenstein. Furthermore, if the variety is projective and its stringy E-function is a polynomial, Batyrev defined its stringy Hodge numbers essentially as the coefficients of this E-function, generalizing the usual notion of Hodge numbers of a nonsingular projective variety. He conjectured that they are nonnegative. We prove this for a class of `mild' isolated singularities (the allowed singularities depend on the dimension). As a corollary we obtain a proof of Batyrev's conjecture for threefolds in full generality. In these cases, we also give an explicit description of the stringy Hodge numbers and we suggest a possible generalized definition of stringy Hodge numbers if the E-function is not a polynomial.
