We study loci of arcs on a smooth variety defined by order of contact with a fixed subscheme. Specifically, we establish a Nash-type correspondence showing that the irreducible components of these loci arise from (intersections of)…
Near every point of a real-analytic set in $\mathbb R^n$, we make use of Hironaka's resolution of singularity theorem to construct a family of continuous functions in $W^{1, 1}_{loc}$ such that their weak derivatives have (removable)…
We study contact resolutions of Jacobi structures which are contact on an open subset. We give several classes of examples, as well as classes for which it cannot exist.
We describe combinatorial aspects of classical resolution of singularities that are free of characteristic and can be applied to singular foliations and vector fields as well as to functions and varieties. In particular, we give a…
The concept of the maximal contact is the key in Hironaka's resolution theory. It treats local theory, and it is not effective in positive characteristics. This is the essential reason why Hironaka's theory treats only the case of…
These expository notes, addressed to non-experts, are intended to present some of Hironaka's ideas on his theorem of resolution of singularities. We focus particularly on those aspects which have played a central role in the constructive…
We survey some recent results concerning the behaviour of the contact structure defined on the boundary of a complex isolated hypersurface singularity or on the boundary at infinity of a complex polynomial.
We give a new and detailed description of the structure of cut loci, with direct applications to the singular sets of some Hamilton-Jacobi equations. These sets may be non-triangulable, but a local description at all points except for a set…
When $X$ is a $d$-dimensional variety defined over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, a constructive resolution of singularities can be achieved by successively lowering the maximum multiplicity via blow ups at smooth equimultiple centers.…
These are the notes for my lecture ``Resolution of Sigularities in Charcteristic 0" given at the AMS Summer Institute at Seattle. It gives a self contained proof of the strong Hironaka resolution theorem.
We give an explicit expression for the contact loci of hyperplane arrangements and show that their cohomology rings are combinatorial invariants. We also give an expression for the restricted contact loci in terms of Milnor fibers of…
We study in this paper the remnants of the contact partial order on the orbits of the adjoint action of contactomorphism groups on their Lie algebras. Our main interest is a class of non-compact contact manifolds, called convex at infinity.
For contact manifolds, it is well-known that the map which assigns to an infinitesimal contact transformation its contact Hamiltonian function is a linear isomorphism, and an explicit local formula for its inverse can be given. In contrast,…
We study boundary singularities which can appear for infinitesimal generators of one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps in the unit disc. We introduce "regular" fractional singularities and characterize them in terms of the…
We classify the stable formulas in the theory of Dense Linear Orders without endpoints, the stable formulas in the theory of Divisible Abelian Groups, and the stable formulas without parameters in the theory of Real Closed Fields. The third…
We discuss Hironaka's theorem on resolution of singularities in charactetistic 0 as well as more recent progress, both on simplifying and improving Hironaka's method of proof and on new results and directions on families of varieties,…
We develop the contact singularity theory for singularly-perturbed (or `slow-fast') vector fields of the general form $z' = H(z,\varepsilon)$, $z\in\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\varepsilon\ll 1$. Our main result is the derivation of computable,…
We prove an equivariant version of Hironaka's theorem on elimination of points of indeterminacy. Our arguments rely on canonical resolution of singularities.
We show how singularities shape the evolution of rational discrete dynamical systems. The stabilisation of the form of the iterates suggests a description providing among other things generalised Hirota form, exact evaluation of the…
In this paper, we investigate the cycles and fixed point sets of compositions of resolvents using Attouch Th\'era duality. We demonstrate that the cycles defined by the resolvent operators can be formulated in Hilbert space as the solution…
