Let $ \Phi: ({\mathbb C}^2, 0) \to ( {\mathbb C}^3, 0) $ be a finitely determined complex analytic germ and let $(\{f=0\},0)$ be the reduced equation of its image, a non-isolated hypersurface singularity. We provide the plumbing graph of…

In this paper we describe the implementation that led to the counterexamples to the Nash blowup conjectures recently discovered by the authors. We also provide new examples of toric varieties with prescribed singularities that are not…

Shafarevich conjecture/problem is about the finiteness of isomorphism classes of a family of varieties defined over a number field with good reduction outside a finite collection of places. For K3 surfaces, such a finiteness result was…

A germ of normal complex analytical surface is called a Hirzebruch-Jung singularity if it is analytically isomorphic to the germ at the 0-dimensional orbit of an affine toric surface. Two such germs are known to be isomorphic if and only if…

Let $F:(\mathbb{C}^2,0)\to (\mathbb{C}^n,0)$ be the germ of a finite map and $(X,0)$ be its image. We will in this article using the topology of the link show that $(X,0)$ has to be a quotient singularity if it is normal and describe the…

The image of a finitely determined holomorphic germ $\Phi$ from $\mathbb{C}^2$ to $\mathbb{C}^3$ defines a hypersurface singularity $(X,0)$, which is in general non-isolated. We show that the diffeomorphism type of the boundary of the…

The higher Nash blowup of an algebraic variety replaces singular points with limits of certain spaces carrying higher-order data associated to the variety at non-singular points. In this note we will define a higher-order Jacobian matrix…

In this article, we study the topology of real analytic germs $F \colon (\C^3,0) \to (\C,0)$ given by $F(x,y,z)=\overline{xy}(x^p+y^q)+z^r$ with $p,q,r \in \N$, $p,q,r \geq 2$ and $(p,q)=1$. Such a germ gives rise to a Milnor fibration…

In the present article we determine and characterize completely the support genus, the binding number and the norm of a page of an open book under the following restrictions: M is a rational homology sphere which can be realized as the link…

Let $(S, 0) \subset (\mathbb{C}^{d+1},0)$ be an irreducible germ of hypersurface. The germ $(S,0)$ is quasi-ordinary if $(S,0)$ has a finite projection to $(\mathbb{C}^d,0)$ which is unramified outside the coordinate hyperplanes. This…

We prove a precise version of a general conjecture on the polar degree stated by June Huh. We confirm Huh's conjectural list of all projective hypersurfaces with isolated singularities and polar degree equal to 2.

This work deals with the topological classification of germs of singular foliations on $(\mathbb C^{2},0)$. Working in a suitable class of foliations we fix the topological invariants given by the separatrix set, the Camacho-Sad indices and…

We give an upper bound on the topological complexity of varieties $\mathcal{V}$ obtained as complements in $\mathbb{C}^m$ of the zero locus of a polynomial. As an application, we determine the topological complexity of unordered…

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…

We use convex polyhedral cones to study a large class of multivariate meromorphic germs, namely those with linear poles, which naturally arise in various contexts in mathematics and physics. We express such a germ as a sum of a holomorphic…

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 provide a partial answer to the following problem: \emph{give an effective upper bound on the multiplicity of non-isolated common zero of a tuple of Noetherian functions}. More precisely, consider a foliation defined by two commuting…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic not 2 or 3. We establish polynomial lower bounds on the ambient dimension $N$ for an intersection $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ of quadrics, cubics and quartics to have a dense collection of solvable points,…

We introduce the concept of topological finite-determinacy for germs of analytic functions within a fixed ideal $I$, which provides a notion of topological finite-determinacy of functions with non-isolated singularities. We prove the…

It is a long-standing question whether an arbitrary variety is desingularized by finitely many normalized Nash blow-ups. We consider this question in the case of a toric variety. We interpret the normalized Nash blow-up in polyhedral terms,…
