We address the question of the classification under blow-Nash equivalence of simple Nash function germs. We state that this classification coincides with the real analytic classification. We prove moreover that a simple germ can not be…

We show that any holomorphic germ $f \colon (X,x_0) \to (Y,y_0)$ of topological degree $1$ between normal surface singularities can be written as $f=\pi \circ \sigma$, where $\pi \colon Y' \to (Y,y_0)$ is a modification and $\sigma \colon…

We investigate the role played by curve singularity germs in the enumeration of inflection points in families of curves acquiring singular members. Let $N \geq 2$, and consider an isolated complete intersection curve singularity germ $f…

Let $A$ be the ring of elements in an algebraic function field $K$ over a finite field $F_q$ which are integral outside a fixed place $\infty$. In an earlier paper we have shown that the Drinfeld modular group $G=GL_2(A)$ has automorphisms…

Questions related to deformations of germs of finite morphisms of smooth surfaces are discussed. A classification of the four-sheeted germs of finite covers $F: (U,o')\to (V,o)$ is given up to smooth deformations, where $(U,o')$ and $(V,o)$…

Using nonstandard analysis we define a topology on the ring of germs of functions: $(mathbb R^n,0)\rightarrow(mathbb R,0)$. We prove that this topology is absolutely convex, Hausdorff, that convergent nets of continuous germs have…

Let M be a compact manifold, possibly with boundary. We show that the group of homeomorphisms of M has the automatic continuity property: any homomorphism from Homeo(M) to any separable group is necessarily continuous. This answers a…

Let a finite group $G$ act on the complex plane $({\Bbb C}^2, 0)$. We consider multi-index filtrations on the spaces of germs of holomorphic functions of two variables equivariant with respect to 1-dimensional representations of the group…

Our main result states that a finite semiring of order >2 with zero which is not a ring is congruence-simple if and only if it is isomorphic to a `dense' subsemiring of the endomorphism semiring of a finite idempotent commutative monoid. We…

For each integer $n$ we construct a simply connected $4$-manifold $X$ admitting a smoothly embedded surface $\Sigma$ of self intersection number $n$ such that the complement of the surface has non-trivial fundamental group. This answers a…

We prove a uniqueness theorem and give a characterization of simplicity for Steinberg algebras associated to non-Hausdorff ample groupoids. We also prove a uniqueness theorem and give a characterization of simplicity for the C*-algebra…

In this survey on local additive invariants of real and complex definable singular germs we systematically present classical or more recent invariants of different nature as emerging from a tame degeneracy principle. For this goal, we…

Let $f(z) = e^{2\pi i \alpha}z + O(z^2), \alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ be a germ of holomorphic diffeomorphism in $\mathbb{C}$. For $\alpha$ rational and $f$ of infinite order, the space of conformal conjugacy classes of germs topologically…

Let $\Gamma$ be a simple undirected graph on a finite vertex set and let $A$ be its adjacency matrix. Then $\Gamma$ is {\it singular} if $A$ is singular. The problem of characterising singular graphs is easy to state but very difficult to…

We describe the equivalence classes of germs of generic $2$-parameter families of complex vector fields $\dot z = \omega_\epsilon(z)$ on $\mathbb{C}$ unfolding a singular parabolic point of multiplicity $k+1$: $\omega_0= z^{k+1}…

A boundary singularity is a singularity of a function on a manifold with boundary. The simple and unimodal boundary singularities were classified by V. I. Arnold and V. I. Matov. The McKay correspondence can be generalized to the simple…

For a one-parameter deformation of an analytic complex function germ of several variables, there is defined its monodromy zeta-function. We give a Varchenko type formula for this zeta-function if the deformation is non-degenerate with…

We find a complete set of local invariants of singular symplectic forms with the structurally stable Martinet hypersurface on a $2n$-dimensional manifold. In the $\mathbb C$-analytic category this set consists of the Martinet hypersurface…

In this paper, we establish the following criterion for divisibility in the local ring of those quasianalytic function germs at zero which are definable in a polynomially bounded structure. A sufficient (and necessary) condition for the…

We determine all factorisations $X=AB$, where $X$ is a finite almost simple group and $A,B$ are core-free subgroups such that $A\cap B$ is cyclic or dihedral. As a main application, we classify the graphs $\Gamma$ admitting an almost simple…
