Abstract
Nash [21] proved that every irreducible component of the space of arcs through a singularity corresponds to an exceptional divisor that appears on every resolution. He asked if the converse also holds: Does every such exceptional divisor correspond to an arc family? We prove that the converse holds for toric singularities but fails in general.
