We collect some classical results about holomorphic 1-forms of a reduced complex curve singularity. They are used to study the pull-back of holomorphic 1-forms on an isolated complete intersection curve singularity under the normalization…

As a consequence of our recently established generalized Schmidt's subspace theorem for closed subschemes in general position, we prove a degeneracy theorem for integral points on the complement of a union of nef effective divisors. A novel…

Let $C$ be an irreducible, reduced, non-degenerate curve, of arithmetic genus $g$ and degree $d$, in the projective space $\mathbf P^4$ over the complex field. Assume that $C$ satisfies the following {\it flag condition of type $(s,t)$}:…

The sandwiched surface singularities are those rational surface singularities which dominate birationally smooth surface singularities. de Jong and van Straten showed that one can reduce the study of the deformations of a sandwiched surface…

We give a version in characteristic $p>0$ of Mumford's theorem characterizing a smooth complex germ of surface $(X,x)$ by the triviality of the topological fundamental group of $U=X\setminus \{x\}$. This note relies on discussions the…

Let $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^N$ be a non-degenerate normal projective variety of codimension $e$ and degree $d$ with isolated $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein singularities. We prove that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity…

Using invariants from commutative algebra to count geometric objects is a basic idea in singularities. For example, the multiplicity of an ideal is used to count points of intersection of two analytic sets at points of non-transverse…

The thesis deals with holomorphic germs $ \Phi: (\mathbb{C}^2, 0) \to (\mathbb{C}^3,0) $ singular only at the origin, with a special emphasis on the distinguished class of finitely determined germs. The results are published in two articles…

Quite some time ago, at the singularity conference at Carg\`ese 1972 Brieskorn asked the following question: Is the local fundamental group $\pi_1^{s}(S-D)$ of the discriminant complement inside the semi-universal unfolding $S$ of an…

Let $\mathcal{M}_g$ be the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g$ endowed with the Weil-Petersson metric. In this paper, we show that for any $\epsilon>0$, as $g\to \infty$, for a generic surface in $\mathcal{M}_g$, the error term…

We consider different notions of non-degeneracy, as introduced by Kouchnirenko (NND), Wall (INND) and Beelen-Pellikaan (WNND) for plane curve singularities $\{f(x,y) = 0\}$ and introduce the new notion of weighted homogeneous Newton…

Let X_o be a complex weighted-homogeneous complete intersection germ, (possibly non-reduced). Let X be a perturbation of X_o by ``higher-order-terms". We give sufficient criteria to detect fast cycles on X, via the weights of X_o. This is…

We give an elementary combinatorial proof of the following fact: Every real or complex analytic complete intersection germ X is equisingular -- in the sense of the Hilbert-Samuel function -- with a germ of an algebraic set defined by…

We extend our discrete uniformization theorems for planar, $m$-connected, Jordan domains [Journal f\"ur die reine und angewandte Mathematik 670 (2012), 65--92] to closed surfaces of non-positive genus.

We give a generalization of the geometric estimate used by Hart and the second author in their 2008 work on sums and products in finite fields. Their result concerned level sets of non-degenerate bilinear forms over finite fields, while in…

We define a new family of open Gromov-Witten type invariants based on intersection theory on the moduli space of pseudoholomorphic curves of arbitrary genus with boundary in a Lagrangian submanifold. We assume the Lagrangian submanifold…

We prove a lower bound for the Milnor number of function germ invariant with respect to a finite abelian group action. It is shown that this bound is tight for functions of arbitrarily many variables. We also prove the function germs that…

We consider fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations with quadratic growth in the gradient, such as $$ -F(x,u,Du,D^2u) =\lambda c(x)u+\langle M(x)D u, D u \rangle +h(x) $$ in a bounded domain with a Dirichlet boundary condition, here…

The jump of the Milnor number of an isolated singularity $f_{0}$ is the minimal non-zero difference between the Milnor numbers of $f_{0}$ and one of its deformation $(f_{s}).$ In the case $f_{s}$ are non-degenerate singularities we call the…
