We shall introduce the singular curvature function on cuspidal edges of surfaces, which is related to the Gauss-Bonnet formula and which characterizes the shape of cuspidal edges. Moreover, it is closely related to the behavior of the…
We investigate geometric invariants of cuspidal edges on focal surfaces of regular surface. In particular, we shall clarify the sign of the singular curvature at a cuspidal edge on a focal surface using singularities of parallel surface of…
We present a discrete theory for modeling developable surfaces as quadrilateral meshes satisfying simple angle constraints. The basis of our model is a lesser known characterization of developable surfaces as manifolds that can be…
In this paper we introduce flat grafting as a deformation of quadratic differentials on a surface of finite type that is analogous to the grafting map on hyperbolic surfaces. Flat grafting maps are generic in the strata structure and…
In this study, we introduce Darboux slant ruled surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space which is defined by the property that the Darboux vector of orthonormel frame of ruled surface makes a constant angle with a fixed, non-zero direction. We…

In this note, we extend to the singular case some results on the birational geometry of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds.
The present paper describes a way to relate Martin boundaries on spaces of varying topology. This enables us to approach some detailed inductive analysis of the eigenfunctions of conformal Laplacians on minimal hypersurfaces near their…

We study sheaves of differential forms and their cohomology in the h-topology. This allows to extend standard results from the case of smooth varieties to the general case. As a first application we explain the case of singularities arising…
We solve the problem on flat extensions of a generic surface with boundary in Euclidean 3-space, relating it to the singularity theory of the envelope generated by the boundary. We give related results on Legendre surfaces with boundaries…
We study analytic deformations and unfoldings of holomorphic foliations in complex projective plane $\mathbb{C}P(2)$. Let $\{\mathcal{F}_t\}_{t \in \mathbb{D}_{\epsilon}}$ be topological trivial (in $\mathbb{C}^2$) analytic deformation of a…
We consider singularities of frontal surfaces of corank one and finite frontal codimension. We look at the classification under left-right-equivalence and introduce the notion of frontalisation for singularities of fold type. We define the…
We consider singular holomorphic foliations on compact complex surfaces with invariant rational nodal curve of positive self-intersection. Then, under some assumptions, we list all possible foliations.
Given a smooth curve $\gamma$ in some $m$-dimensional surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{m+1}$, we study existence and uniqueness of a flat surface $H$ having the same field of normal vectors as $M$ along $\gamma$, which we call a flat…
We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions for the extendibility and boundedness of Gaussian curvature, Mean curvature and principal curvatures near all types of singularities on fronts. We also study the convergence to infinite…
Minimal surfaces are among the most natural objects in Differential Geometry, and have been studied for the past 250 years ever since the pioneering work of Lagrange. The subject is characterized by a profound beauty, but perhaps even more…
A wide range of equations related to free surface motion in two dimensions exhibit the formation of cusp singularities either in time, or as function of a parameter. We review a number of specific examples, relating in particular to fluid…
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 study the dynamics of planar diffeomorphisms having a unique fixed point that is a hyperbolic local saddle. We obtain sufficient conditions under which the fixed point is a global saddle. We also address the special case of…
