We study spaces with a cuspidal (or horn-like) singularity embedded in a smooth Riemannian manifold and analyze the geodesics in these spaces which start at the singularity. This provides a basis for understanding the intrinsic geometry of…

Roughly speaking, the problem of geography asks for the existence of varieties of general type after we fix some invariants. In dimension $1$, where we fix the genus, the geography question is trivial, but already in dimension $2$, it…

In this paper, we study the singularities of spacelike constant mean curvature one (CMC 1) surfaces in the de Sitter 3-space. We prove the duality between generalized conelike singular points and 5/2-cuspidal edges on spacelike CMC 1…

We study the topological configurations of the lines of principal curvature, the asymptotic and characteristic curves on a cuspidal edge, in the domain of a parametrization of this surface as well as on the surface itself. Such…

In this paper we study nodal deformations of singular surfaces $S\subset \mathbb P^3$. In particular we consider the case in which $S$ has an isolated singularity of multiplicity $m$ and the case in which $S$ has only ordinary singularities…

We show that the singularities of spacelike maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space generically consist of cuspidal edges, swallowtails and cuspidal cross caps. The same result holds for spacelike mean curvature one surfaces in de…

We give useful criteria for S_1 singularities in the Mond classification table, and cuspidal S_k singularities. As applications, we give a simple proof of a result given by Mond and a characterization of cuspidal S_k singularities for the…

We study the behaviour of geodesics on a Riemannian manifold near a generalized conical or cuspidal singularity. We show that geodesics entering a small neighbourhood of the singularity either hit the singularity or approach it to a…

We investigate geometric properties of surfaces given by certain formulae. In particular, we calculate the singular curvature and the limiting normal curvature of such surfaces along the set of singular points consisting of singular points…

We introduce K3 transitions as a geometric approach to studying canonical 3-folds. These transitions link different deformation classes of canonical 3-folds via a combination of birational contractions and smoothings. As applications, we…

Characterizing face-number-related invariants of a given class of simplicial complexes has been a central topic in combinatorial topology. In this regard, one of the well-known invariants is $g_2$. Let $K$ be a normal $3$-pseudomanifold…

We study the geometry of surfaces in $\mathbb R^5$ by relating it to the geometry of regular and singular surfaces in $\mathbb R^4$ obtained by orthogonal projections. In particular, we obtain relations between asymptotic directions, which…

We study the flat geometry of the least degenerate singularity of a singular surface in $\mathbb R^4$, the $I_{1}$ singularity parametrised by $(x,y)\mapsto(x,xy,y^{2},y^{3})$. This singularity appears generically when projecting a regular…
