We prove that every simplicial complex is the dual complex of some simple normal crossing divisor in a smooth variety. As an application, we simplify and extend the results of Kapovich--Koll\'ar (math.AG:1109.4047) on the existence of…

The classical Theorem of Mumford states that a topologically regular complex algebraic surface in $\mathbb{C}^3$ with an isolated singular point is smooth. We proof that any Lipschitz regular complex algebraic set is smooth. No restriction…

We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…

This expository talk is an expanded version of a lecture at G.-M. Greuel's 60th Birthday Conference in Kaiserslautern in October, 2004. We survey recent work of Neumann-Wahl and others on the relation between topology and geometry of normal…

We study in this work flat surfaces with conical singularities, that is, surfaces provided with a flat structure with conical singular points. Finding good parameters for these surfaces in the general case is an open question. We give an…

We introduce a new formulation of the so-called topological recursion, that is defined globally on a compact Riemann surface. We prove that it is equivalent to the generalized recursion for spectral curves with arbitrary ramification. Using…

We associate to every analytic surface singularity $(V,0)$ in $(\mathbb C^3,0)$, not necessarily isolated, an invariant $mult^* (V)$ and show that an analytic family of such singularities $(V_t,0)$, $t\in (\mathbb C^l,0)$, is generically…

If (X,0) is a complex surface germ with a non-isolated singular locus we describe its singular link L of (X,0) and we show that the topology of L determines the topology of the normalization.

We show first that a generic hypersurface $V$ of degree $d\geq 3$ in the complex projective space $ \mathbb{P}^n$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ has at least one hyperplane section $V \cap H$ containing exactly $n$ ordinary double points, alias…

This is a review article on the combinatorial aspects of the mixed Hodge structure of a Milnor fibre of the isolated hypersurface singularity. We give a purely combinatorial method to compute spectral pairs of the singularity under the…

In this paper we give a generalization of the normal holomorphic frames in the symplectic manifolds and find conditions for the integrability of complex structures.

Multivariate normal mixtures provide a flexible method of fitting high-dimensional data. It is shown that their topography, in the sense of their key features as a density, can be analyzed rigorously in lower dimensions by use of a…

Normally one assumes isolated surface singularities to be normal. The purpose of this paper is to show that it can be useful to look at nonnormal singularities. By deforming them interesting normal singularities can be constructed, such as…

We investigate the average number of solutions of certain quadratic congruences. As an application, we establish Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface whose singularity type is A_5+A_1.

We describe a multivariable polynomial invariant for certain class of non isolated hypersurface singularities generalizing the characteristic polynomial on monodromy. The starting point is an extension of a theorem due to Le Dung Trang and…

We construct examples of complex algebraic surfaces not admitting normal embeddings (in the sense of semialgebraic or subanalytic sets) with image a complex algebraic surface.

We introduce higher simplicial complexity of a simplicial complex $K$ and higher combinatorial complexity of a finite space $P$ (i.e. $P$ is a finite poset). We relate higher simplicial complexity with higher topological complexity of $|K|$…

Many branches of theoretical and applied mathematics require a quantifiable notion of complexity. One such circumstance is a topological dynamical system - which involves a continuous self-map on a metric space. There are many notions of…

A generic computation of a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{N}$ is a computation which correctly computes most of the bits of $A$, but which potentially does not halt on all inputs. The motivation for this concept is derived from complexity theory,…

We present a generalization of the notion of an algebra norm relevant to real finite-dimensional unital associative algebras. Among other things, this leads to a novel set of algebra isomorphism invariants, some of which are computationally…
