Differential forms on varieties with pre-$k$-rational singularities

Abstract: Let $X$ be a complex algebraic variety. With $\mathbb{Q}$-coefficients, the compactly supported cohomology groups $H^{i}_{c}(X, \mathbb{Q})$ and the compactly supported intersection cohomology groups $IH^{i}_{c}(X, \mathbb{Q})$ have mixed Hodge structures. We compare these two mixed Hodge structures for varieties with pre-$k$-rational singularities. We then study various notions of differential forms on varieties with pre-$k$-rational singularities. In particular, we investigate the depth of the complex $\underline{\Omega}^{p}_{X}$, where $\underline{\Omega}^{p}_{X}$ is the $p^{th}$-graded piece of the Du Bois complex.
