In this paper we extend the concept of Milnor fiber and Milnor number of a curve singularity allowing the ambient space to be a quotient surface singularity. A generalization of the local {\delta}-invariant is defined and described in terms…

We are concerned with the Calder\'on inverse inclusion problem, where one intends to recover the shape of an inhomogeneous conductive inclusion embedded in a homogeneous conductivity by the associated boundary measurements. We consider the…

Robert Bryant (Theorie des varietes minimales et applications, 1988, 154: 321-347) proved that an isolated singularity of a conformal metric of positive constant curvature on a Riemann surface is a conical one. Using Complex Analysis, we…

To study a deformation of a singularity taking into consideration their differential geometric properties, a form representing the deformation using only diffeomorphisms on the source space and isometries of the target space plays a crucial…

This is a short note on the relation between the graded stable derived categories of 14 exceptional unimodal singularities and the derived category of K3 surfaces obtained as compactifications of the Milnor fibers. As a corollary, we obtain…

Smooth deformations of a Minkowski type metric in a four-dimensional space-time manifold are considered. Deformations of the basic spin-tensorial fields associated with this metric are calculated and their application to calculating the…

We study a semilinear parabolic equation that possesses global bounded weak solutions whose gradient has a singularity in the interior of the domain for all $t>0$. The singularity of these solutions is of the same type as the singularity of…

This paper generalizes existing methods to derive stronger bounds on the modality of hypersurface singularities. Our results demonstrate that each sudden jump in the extended Tjurina number necessarily increases the modality. Furthermore,…

This is an expository article on the noncommutative singularity theory of power series in noncommuting variables, its motivation from deformation theory, and its applications to contractibility of curves and the classification of smooth…

We study deformations of certain crepant resolutions of isolated rational Gorenstein singularities. After a general discussion of the deformation theory, we specialize to dimension $3$ and consider examples which are good (log) resolutions…

We introduce the notion of categorical absorption of singularities: an operation that removes from the derived category of a singular variety a small admissible subcategory responsible for singularity and leaves a smooth and proper…

We compute an upper bound for the dimension of the tangent spaces at classical points of certain eigenvarieties associated with definite unitary groups, especially including the so-called critically refined cases. Our bound is given in…

We study the weighted spectrum and vanishing cohomology for several classes of isolated hypersurface singularities, and how they contribute to the limiting mixed Hodge structure of a smoothing. Applications are given to several types of…

We determine a one-to-one correspondence between Milnor fibers and minimal symplectic fillings of a quotient surface singularity (up to diffeomorphism type) by giving an explicit algorithm to compare them mainly via techniques from the…

Let $f\colon X\to\mathbb{A}^1_k$ be a morphism from a smooth variety to an affine line with an isolated singular point. For such a singularity, we have two invariants. One is a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form (de Rham), and the other…

This paper surveys and gives a uniform exposition of results contained in papers published by the team of authors. The subject is degenerations of surfaces, especially to unions of planes. More specifically, we deduce some properties of the…

In this paper we study projective flat deformations of projective spaces. We prove that the singular fibers of projective flat deformations of projective spaces appear either in codimension 1 or over singular points of the base. We also…

Parabolic geometric flows are smoothing for short time however, over long time, singularities are typically unavoidable, can be very nasty and may be impossible to classify. The idea of [CM6] and here is that, by bringing in the dynamical…

We consider the class of curves of finite total curvature, as introduced by Milnor. This is a natural class for variational problems and geometric knot theory, and since it includes both smooth and polygonal curves, its study shows us…

We construct flat metrics in a given conformal class with prescribed singularities of real orders at marked points of a closed real surface. The singularities can be small conical, cylindrical, and large conical with possible translation…
