The purpose of this paper is to give an explicit formula of the {\L}ojasiewicz exponent of an isolated weighted homogeneous singularity in terms of its weights.
The level surfaces of solutions to the eikonal equation define null or characteristic surfaces. In this note we study, in Minkowski space, properties of these surfaces. In particular we are interested both in the singularities of these…
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…
Using the semicontinuity of the Milnor number and the {\L}ojasiewicz exponent, we give a simple proof of Yau's characterization of isolated homogenous hypersurface singularities.
Given a nondegenerate ternary form $f=f(x_1,x_2,x_3)$ of degree 4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we use the geometry of K3 surfaces to construct a certain positive-dimensional family of irreducible…
We give a formula for the spectral pairs (after Steenbrink) for composite singularities of several variables. (Note that for two variable case is studyed by Nemethi-Steenbrink.) Here composite singularity is given by the equation f(g_1,…
In this article we give an expression of the motivic Milnor fiber at infinity and the motivic nearby cycles at infinity of a polynomial $f$ in two variables with coefficients in an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero. This…
We derive a number of inequalities involving L\^e numbers of non-isolated hypersurface singularities. In particular, we derive L\^e-Iomdine formulas with inequalities and use these, together with Teissier's Minkowski inequalities for…
Let h = \sum h_{\alpha \beta} X^\alpha Y^\beta be a polynomial with complex coefficients. The Lojasiewicz exponent of the gradient of h at infinity is the upper bound of the set of all real \lambda such that |grad h(x, y)| >=…
We give partial answers to a metric version of Zariski's multiplicity conjecture. In particular, we prove the multiplicity of complex analytic surface (not necessarily isolated) singularities in $\mathbb{C}^3$ is a bi-Lipschitz invariant.
We obtain a structure theorem for the nonproperness set $S_f$ of a nonsingular polynomial mapping $f:\mathbb{C}^n \to \mathbb{C}^n$. Jelonek's results on $S_f$ and our result show that if $f$ is a counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture,…
We study singularities of spacelike, constant (non-zero) mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space $L^3$. We show how to solve the singular Bj\"orling problem for such surfaces, which is stated as follows: given a real…
\noindent Let $I$ be an ideal of the ring of formal power series $\bK[[x,y]]$ with coefficients in an algebraically closed field $\bK$ of arbitrary characteristic. Let $\Phi$ denote the set of all parametrizations…
In this work, we investigate the bi-Lipschitz invariance of two fundamental local invariants in singularity theory: the {\L}ojasiewicz exponent and the local Euler obstruction. We draw inspiration from Bivi\`a-Ausina and Fukui, whose…
In an unpublished lecture note, J. Brian\c{c}on observed that if $\{f_t\}$ is a family of isolated complex hypersurface singularities such that the Newton boundary of $f_t$ is independent of $t$ and $f_t$ is non-degenerate, then the…
Let $A$ be a noetherian Koszul Artin-Schelter regular algebra, and let $f\in A_2$ be a central regular element of $A$. The quotient algebra $A/(f)$ is usually called a (noncommutative) quadric hypersurface. In this paper, we use the…
We study the flat geometry of the least degenerate singularity of a singular surface in $\mathbb R^4$, the $I_{1}$ singularity parametrised by $(x,y)\mapsto(x,xy,y^{2},y^{3})$. This singularity appears generically when projecting a regular…
An iterative optimization method applied to a function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ will produce a sequence of arguments $\{\mathbf{x}_k\}_{k \in \mathbb{N}}$; this sequence is often constrained such that $\{f(\mathbf{x}_k)\}_{k \in \mathbb{N}}$…
We recover the Newton diagram (modulo a natural ambiguity) from the link for any surface hypersurface singularity with non-degenerate Newton principal part whose link is a rational homology sphere. As a corollary, we show that the link…
In real algebraic geometry, Lojasiewicz's theorem asserts that any integral curve of the gradient flow of an analytic function that has an accumulation point has a unique limit. Lojasiewicz proved this result in the early 1960s as a…
