It is known that the systole function is topologically Morse on the moduli space $\mathcal M_{g,n}$ and the $\text{sys}_T$ functions are $C^2$-Morse on the Deligne-Mumford compactification $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$. In this paper, We…
We use bounds of mixed character sums modulo a square-free integer $q$ of a special structure to estimate the density of integer points on the hypersurface $$ f_1(x_1) + \ldots + f_n(x_n) =a x_1^{k_1} \ldots x_n^{k_n} $$ for some…
We use bounds of mixed character sums modulo a prime $p$ to estimate the density of integer points on the hypersurface $$ f_1(x_1) + \ldots + f_n(x_n) =a x_1^{k_1} \ldots x_n^{k_n} $$ for some polynomials $f_i \in {\mathbb Z}[X]$, nonzero…
The Brasselet number of a function $f$ with nonisolated singularities describes numerically the topological information of its generalized Milnor fibre. In this work, we consider two function-germs $f,g:(X,0)\rightarrow(\mathbb{C},0)$ such…
Let $f,g\in\mathbb{C}\{x,y\}$ be germs of functions defining plane curve singularities without common components in $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ and let $\Phi(x,y,z) = f(x,y) + zg(x,y)$. We give an explicit algorithm producing a plumbing graph for…
We describe a relation between two invariants that measure the complexity of a hypersurface singularity. One is the Hodge spectrum which is related to the monodromy and the Hodge filtration on the cohomology of the Milnor fiber. The other…
In this paper we study the Milnor fibrations associated to real analytic map germs $\psi:(\mathbb{R}^{m},0) \to (\mathbb{R}^2,0)$ with isolated critical point at $0\in \mathbb{R}^{m}$. The main result relates the existence of called Strong…
We present a simple, accurate method for computing singular or nearly singular integrals on a smooth, closed surface, such as layer potentials for harmonic functions evaluated at points on or near the surface. The integral is computed with…
We collect some classical results about holomorphic 1-forms of a reduced complex curve singularity, in particular of a complete intersection, and use them to compare the Milnor number, the Tjurina number and the dimension of the torsion…
We study the nilpotent part $N'$ of a pseudo-periodic automorphism $h$ of a real oriented surface with boundary $\Sigma$. We associate a quadratic form $Q$ defined on the first homology group (relative to the boundary) of the surface…
Let $f$ be a (possibly Newton degenerate) weighted homogeneous polynomial defining an isolated surface singularity at the origin of $\mathbb{C}^3$, and let $\{f_s\}$ be a generic deformation of its coefficients such that $f_s$ is Newton…
Given two Morse functions $f, \mu$ on a compact manifold $M$, we study the Morse homology for the Lagrange multiplier function on $M \times {\mathbb R}$ which sends $(x, \eta)$ to $f(x) + \eta \mu(x)$. Take a product metric on $M \times…
For a G-invariant holomorphic 1-form with an isolated singular point on a germ of a complex-analytic G-variety with an isolated singular point (G is a finite group) one has notions of the equivariant homological index and of the (reduced)…
We present new results on equisingularity and equinormalizability of families with isolated non-normal singularities (INNS) of arbitrary dimension. We define a $\delta$-invariant and a $\mu$-invariant for an INNS and prove necessary and…
We give a survey on some aspects of deformations of isolated singularities. In addition to the presentation of the general theory, we report on the question of the smoothability of a singularity and on relations between different…
A Morse function f on a manifold with corners M allows the characterization of the Morse data for a critical point by the Morse index. In fact, a modified gradient flow allows a proof of the Morse theorems in a manner similar to that of…
The splice quotients are an interesting class of normal surface singularities with rational homology sphere links, defined by W. Neumann and J. Wahl. If Gamma is a tree of rational curves that satisfies certain combinatorial conditions,…
When $A=3$, the positive integral solutions of the so-called Markoff equation $$M_A:x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = Axyz$$ can be generated from the single solution $(1,1,1)$ by the action of certain automorphisms of the hypersurface. Since Markoff's…
Each complex hyperplane arrangement gives rise to a Milnor fibration of its complement. Although the Betti numbers of the Milnor fiber $F$ can be expressed in terms of the jump loci for rank 1 local systems on the complement, explicit…
We consider Birkhoff sums of functions with a singularity of type 1/x over rotations and prove the following limit theorem. Let $S_N= S_N(\alpha,x)$ be the N^th non-renormalized Birkhoff sum, where $x in [0,1)$ is the initial point,…
