We give a slope equality for fibered surfaces whose general fiber is a smooth plane curve. As a corollary, we prove a "strong" Durfee-type inequality for isolated hypersurface surface singularities, which implies Durfee's strong conjecture…
In 1978 Durfee conjectured various inequalities between the signature and the geometric genus of a normal surface singularity. Since then a few counter examples have been found and positive results established in some special cases. We…
We prove that the signature of the Milnor fiber of smoothings of a $2$-dimensional isolated complete intersection singularity does not exceed the negative number determined by the geometric genus, the embedding dimension and the number of…
An old conjecture of Durfee 1978 bounds the ratio of two basic invariants of complex isolated complete intersection surface singularities: the Milnor number and the singularity (or geometric) genus. We give a counterexample for the case of…
The Milnor number, \mu(X,0), and the singularity genus, p_g(X,0), are fundamental invariants of isolated hypersurface singularities (more generally, of local complete intersections). The long standing Durfee conjecture (and its…
We give an upper bound for the minimal discrepancies of hypersurface singularities. As an application, we show that Shokurov's conjecture is true for log-terminal threefolds.
The Aluffi algebra is algebraic definition of characteristic cycles of a hypersurface in intersection theory. In this paper we focus on the Aluffi algebra of quasi-homogeneous and locally Eulerian hypersurface with isolated singularities.…
We prove a Noether--Lefschetz-type result for certain linear systems on a projective threefold with isolated singularities.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of spectral genus $\widetilde{p}_{g}$ of a germ of an isolated hypersurface singularity $(\mathbb{C}^{n+1}, 0) \to (\mathbb{C}, 0)$, defined as a sum of small exponents of monodromy eigenvalues. The…
We derive a number of inequalities involving L\^e numbers of non-isolated hypersurface singularities. In particular, we derive L\^e-Iomdine formulas with inequalities and use these, together with Teissier's Minkowski inequalities for…
This is an announcement of conjectures and results concerning the generating series of Euler characteristics of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces with simple (Kleinian) singularities. For a quotient surface C^2/G with G a finite…
In this paper, we use Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity, Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity, and s-multiplicity to establish a sharp upper bound for the quotient of the generalized Milnor numbers and the Tjurina numbers for isolated hypersurface…
We study the notion of singular tropical hypersurfaces of any dimension. We characterize the singular points in terms of tropical Euler derivatives and we give an algorithm to compute all singular points. We also describe non-transversal…
We prove a conjecture of Teissier asserting that if $f$ has an isolated singularity at $P$ and $H$ is a smooth hypersurface through $P$, then $\widetilde{\alpha}_P(f)\geq \widetilde{\alpha}_P(f\vert_H)+\frac{1}{\theta_P(f)+1}$, where…
We compare several different methods involving Hodge-theoretic spectra of singularities which produce constraints on the number and type of isolated singularities on projective hypersurfaces of fixed degree. In particular, we introduce a…
We address the conjecture of [Durfee1978], bounding the singularity genus, p_g, by a multiple of the Milnor number, \mu, for an n-dimensional isolated complete intersection singularity. We show that the original conjecture of Durfee, namely…
We study the topological triviality and the Whitney equisingularity of a family of isolated determinantal singularities. On one hand, we give a L\^e-Ramanujam type theorem for this kind of singularities by using the vanishing Euler…
All varieties, extremal contractions, singularities are divided on exceptional and non-exceptional ones. Roughly speaking, there are the infinite families of non-exceptional varieties, extremal contractions or singularities and only the…
Exceptional points play a pivotal role in the topology of non-Hermitian systems, and significant advances have been made in classifying exceptional points and exploring the associated phenomena. Exceptional surfaces, which are hypersurfaces…
We study the systems of ordinary differential equations which are implicit with respect to the higher derivatives, appearing in the linear form, and their solutions near the singular points. The invertibility of the higher derivatives…
