The classical Zariski-van Kampen theorem gives a presentation of the fundamental group of the complement of a complex algebraic curve in $\mathbb{P}^2$. The first generalization of this theorem to singular (quasi-projective) varieties was…

Elizalde, Vanzo, and Zerbini have shown that the effective action of two free Euclidean scalar fields in flat space contains a `multiplicative anomaly' when zeta-function regularization is used. This is related to the Wodzicki residue. I…

In this paper we give an asymptotic bound of the cardinality of Zariski multiples of particular plane singular curves. These curves have only nodes and cusps as singularities and are obtained as branched curves of ramified covering of the…

Using analytic torsion associated to stable bundles, we introduce zeta functions for compact Riemann surfaces. To justify the well-definedness, we analyze the degenerations of analytic torsions at the boundaries of the moduli spaces, the…

In 1970, based on newly available empiric evidence, a remarkable monotonicity property for $| \zeta(z) |$ was conjectured by R. Spira. The $\zeta$-monotonicity property can be written as follows: $$ | \zeta (x_2 + y i ) | < | \zeta \left (…

A problem list in singularity theory. Most of these problems are related with the algorithmic enumeration of possible topological types of non-discriminant Morsifications of real function singularities, and/or with the Picard--Lefschetz…

We consider the prehomogeneous vector space of pairs of ternary quadratic forms. For the lattice of pairs of integral ternary quadratic forms and its dual lattice, there are six zeta functions associated with the the prehomogeneous vector…

We give a brief historical overview of the development of the Computer Algebra System SINGULAR: why it came about and how the development was related to the attempt to refute Zariski's multiplicity conjecture.

We show that each member of a doubly infinite sequence of highly nonlinear expressions of Bernoulli polynomials, which can be seen as linear combinations of certain higher-order convolutions, is a multiple of a specific product of linear…

Beginning with the conjecture of Artin and Tate in 1966, there has been a series of successively more general conjectures expressing the special values of the zeta function of an algebraic variety over a finite field in terms of other…

We show that every family of isolated hypersurface singularity with constant Milnor number has constant multiplicity. To achieve this, we endow the A'Campo model of "radius zero" monodromy with a symplectic structure. This new approach…

Any homogeneous polynomial $P(x, y, z)$ of degree $d$, being restricted to a unit sphere $S^2$, admits essentially a unique representation of the form $\lambda + \sum_{k = 1}^d [\prod_{j = 1}^k L_{kj}]$, where $L_{kj}$'s are linear forms in…

Let $X_\lambda$ and $X_\lambda'$ be monomial deformations of two Delsarte hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. In this paper we give a sufficient condition so that their zeta functions have a common factor. This generalises results…

We associate to every analytic surface singularity $(V,0)$ in $(\mathbb C^3,0)$, not necessarily isolated, an invariant $mult^* (V)$ and show that an analytic family of such singularities $(V_t,0)$, $t\in (\mathbb C^l,0)$, is generically…

We study zeta functions enumerating finite-dimensional irreducible complex linear representations of compact p-adic analytic and of arithmetic groups. Using methods from p-adic integration, we show that the zeta functions associated to…

By using Fubini theorem or Tonelli theorem, we find that the zeta function value at 2 is equal to a special integral. Furthermore, We find that this special integral is two times of another special integral. By using this fact we obtain the…

We describe algorithmic methods for the Gauss-Manin connection of an isolated hypersurface singularity based on the microlocal structure of the Brieskorn lattice. They lead to algorithms for computing invariants like the monodromy, the…

We state a conjecture about the zeta function of crepant resolutions of Berglund--H\"ubsch orbifold hypersurfaces over a finite field. In addition to numerical evidence, we show that our conjectural zeta function satisfies the Weil…

We consider the Zariski-Lipman Conjecture on free module of derivations for algebraic surfaces. Using the theory of non-complete algebraic surfaces, and some basic results about ruled surfaces, we will prove the conjecture for several…

The monodromy of the $\mfsl(2)$ Casimir connection is considered. It is shown that the trace of the monodromy operator over the appropriate space of flat sections gives rise to the Jacobi theta constant and to the partial Appell-Lerch sums.
