We study local, global and local-to-global properties of threefolds with certain singularities. We prove criteria for these threefolds to be rational homology manifolds and conditions for threefolds to satisfy rational Poincar\'e duality.…
We consider fibrations of genus 2 over complex surfaces. The purpose of this paper is primarily to provide a geometric description of the possible structures of the fibration on a neighborhood of a singular fiber. In particular it is shown…
We study codimension two determinantal varieties with isolated singularities. These singularities admit a unique smoothing, thus we can define their Milnor number as the middle Betti number of their generic fiber. For surfaces in C^4, we…
We propose a method to compute a desingularization of a normal affine variety X endowed with a torus action in terms of a combinatorial description of such a variety due to Altmann and Hausen. This desingularization allows us to study the…
A classical result of singularity theory states that the spectrum of an isolated hypersurface singularity is symmetric with respect to $n/2$, where $n$ is the dimension of the enclosing space. We prove a similar result for the…
In this paper we study the locus of singular tuples of a complex valued multisymmetric tensor. The main problem that we focus on is: given the set of singular tuples of some general tensor, which are all the tensors that admit those same…
Let $M$ be a closed manifold that admits a self-cover $p:M \to M$ of degree >1. We say p is strongly regular if all its iterates are regular covers. In this case, we establish an algebraic structure theorem for the fundamental group of $M$:…
Starting with an O(2)-principal fibration over a closed oriented surface F_g, g>=1, a 2-fold covering of the total space is said to be special when the monodromy sends the fiber SO(2) = S^1 to the nontrivial element of Z_2. Adapting D…
We give a generalization of the Jordan canonical form theorem for a class of bounded linear operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces in terms of direct integrals. Precisely, we study the uniqueness of strongly irreducible…
We describe the family of real structures $\sigma$ on principal holomorphic torus bundles $X$ over tori, and prove its connectedness when the complex dimension is at most three. From this and previous results of the authors follows that the…
We prove that the monodromy diffeomorphism of a complex 2-dimensional isolated hypersurface singularity of weighted-homogeneous type has infinite order in the smooth mapping class group of the Milnor fiber, provided the singularity is not a…
The problem we are considering came up in connection with the classification of singularities in positive characteristic. Then it is important that certain invariants like the determinacy can be bounded simultaneously in families of formal…
We fix an excellent regular noetherian scheme $S$ over ${\mathbf Z}_{(p)}$ satisfying a certain finiteness condition. For a constructible \'etale sheaf ${\cal F}$ on a regular scheme $X$ of finite type over $S$, we introduce a variant of…
We construct a weak representation of the category of framed affine tangles on a disjoint union of triangulated categories ${\mathcal D}_{2n}$. The categories we use are that of coherent sheaves on Springer fibers over a nilpotent element…
Kato introduced the exotic nilpotent cone to be a substitute for the ordinary nilpotent cone of type C with cleaner properties. Here we describe the irreducible components of exotic Springer fibres (the fibres of the resolution of the…
A natural composition $\odot$ on all pages of the lower central series spectral sequence for spheres is defined. Moreover, it is defined for $p$-lower central series spectral sequence of a simplicial group. It is proved that $r$th…
We study a saturated fusion system F on a finite 2-group S having a Baumann component based on a dihedral 2-group. Assuming F is 2-perfect with no nontrivial normal 2-subgroups, and the centralizer of the component is a cyclic 2-group, it…
Consider a parallel plane foliation on real finite-dimensional linear vector space. It induces a foliation on the torus obtained by factorization of the space by the integer lattice (let us denote the latter foliation by F). Let g be…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the 1-jet of a field of nilpotent endomorphisms to be integrable. Together with the well known corresponding condition for an almost complex structure, the nullity of its Nijenhuis tensor,…
We show that the generating series of Euler characteristics of Hilbert schemes of points on any algebraic surface with at worst $A_n$-type singularities is described by the theta series determined by integer valued positive definite…
