We compute the $\delta$-invariant of a curve singularity parameterized by generic sparse polynomials. We apply this to describe topological types of generic singularities of sparse resultants and ``algebraic knot diagrams'' (i.e. generic…
We investigate one-parameter deformations of functions on affine space which define parameterizable hypersurfaces. With the assumption of isolated polar activity at the origin, we are able to completely express the L\^{e} numbers of the…
In this paper we present a constructive method to characterize ideals of the local ring $\mathscr{O}_{\mathbb{C}^n,0}$ of germs of holomorphic functions at $0\in\mathbb{C}^n$ which arise as the moduli ideal $\langle f,\mathfrak{m}\,…
According to the Kouchnirenko theorem, for a generic (precisely non-degenerate in the Kouchnirenko sense) isolated singularity $f$ its Milnor number $\mu (f)$ is equal to the Newton number $\nu (\Gamma_{+}(f))$ of a combinatorial object…
We prove that for two germs of analytic mappings $f,g\colon (\mathbb{C}^n,0) \rightarrow (\mathbb{C}^p,0)$ with the same Newton polyhedra which are (Khovanskii) non-degenerate and their zero sets are complete intersections with isolated…
We study codimension two determinantal varieties with isolated singularities. These singularities admit a unique smoothing, thus we can define their Milnor number as the middle Betti number of their generic fiber. For surfaces in C^4, we…
The aim of the article is an extension of the Monodromy Conjecture of Denef and Loeser in dimension two, incorporating zeta functions with differential forms and targeting all monodromy eigenvalues, and also considering singular ambient…
We introduce the notion of the \textit{Bruce-Roberts number} for holomorphic 1-forms relative to complex analytic varieties. Our main result shows that the Bruce-Roberts number of a 1-form $\omega$ with respect to a complex analytic…
We study the multiplier ideals and the corresponding jumping numbers and multiplicities $\{m(c)\}_{c\in \mathbb{R}}$ in the following context: $(X,o)$ is a complex analytic normal surface singularity, ${\mathfrak a}\subset…
This paper is a survey on major results on Hilbert functions of multigraded algebras and mixed multiplicities of ideals, including their applications to the computation of Milnor numbers of complex analytic hypersurfaces with isolated…
We show show that the singularities of the Fresnel surface for Maxwell's equation on an anisotrpic material can be accounted from purely topological considerations. The importance of these singularities is that they explain the phenomenon…
We develop recursive formulas for the horizontal and vertical monodromies of a quasi-ordinary surface. These are monodromies associated to the Milnor fiber of a slice transverse to a component of the singular locus. In the course of working…
In this paper, we consider the non-singular extension problem for circle-valued Morse functions on closed orientable surfaces. The problem asks, given a circle-valued Morse function $f\colon M\to S^{1}$ on a closed orientable surface $M$,…
In this paper we obtain an explicit formula for the number of hypersurfaces in a compact complex manifold X (passing through the right number of points), that has a simple node, a cusp or a tacnode. The hypersurfaces belong to a linear…
J. H. C. Whitehead gave an elegant integral formula for the Hopf invariant H(p) of a smooth map p from the 3-sphere to the 2-sphere. Given an open book structure b on the 3-sphere (or, essentially equivalently, an isolated critical point of…
We develop a version of discrete Morse theory for finite regular CW complexes equipped with an auxiliary stratification. The key construction is the halo of a cell, which contains all those faces in the boundary that enter closed…
Let a real-analytic manifold $M$ formally (holomorphically) equivalent to the following model…
Mather and Yau showed that an isolated complex hypersurface singularity is completely determined by its moduli algebra. It is shown, for the simple elliptic singularities, how to construct continuous invariants from the moduli algebras and,…
We investigate nodal radial solutions to semilinear problems of type \[\begin{cases}-\Delta u = f(|x|,u) \qquad & \text{ in } \Omega, \newline u= 0 & \text{ on } \partial \Omega, \end{cases} \] where $\Omega$ is a bounded radially symmetric…
We introduce a quantity which measures the singularity of a plurisubharmonic function f relative to another plurisubharmonic function g, at a point a. This quantity, which we denote by $\nu_{a,g}(f)$, can be seen as a generalization of the…
