S. Banach pointed out that the graph of the generic (in the sense of Baire category) element of $\text{Homeo}([0,1])$ has length $2$. J. Mycielski asked if the measure theoretic dual holds, i.e., if the graph of all but Haar null many (in…

We prove a Milnor-L\^e type fibration theorem for a subanalytic map $f: X \to Y$ between subanalytic sets $X \subset \mathbb{R}^m$ and $Y \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. Moreover, if $f$ extends to an analytic map $\mathbb{R}^m \to \mathbb{R}^n$, we…

We use topological methods to prove a semicontinuity property of the Hodge spectra for analytic germs defined on an isolated surface singularity. For this we introduce an analogue of the Seifert matrix (the fractured Seifert matrix), and of…

In this paper we use motivic integration and non-archimedean analytic geometry to study the singularities at infinity of the fibers of a polynomial map $f\colon \mathbb A^d_\mathbb C \to \mathbb A^1_\mathbb C$. We show that the motive…

We consider a generic family of polynomial maps $f:=(f_1,f_2):\mathbb{C}^2\rightarrow\mathbb{C}^2$ with given supports of polynomials, and degree $ d(f):=\max (deg f_1, deg f_2)$. We show that the (non-) properness of maps $f$ in this…

In this article we investigate the natural domain of definition of a holonomy map associated to a singular holomorphic foliation of the complex projective plane. We prove that germs of holonomy between algebraic curves can have large sets…

For a germ $(X,0)$ of a normal complex analytic surface, let $E:=H^0({}^p_+IC_X\mathbb Z)_0$, where ${}^pIC_X\mathbb Z$ and ${}^p_+IC_X\mathbb Z$ denote the ordinary and dual middle-perversity intersection complexes with integral…

We prove that the linearization of a germ of holomorphic map of the type $F_\lambda(z)=\lambda(z+O(z^2))$ has a $ C^1$--holomorphic dependence on the multiplier $\lambda$. $C^1$--holomorphic functions are $ C^1$--Whitney smooth functions,…

Consider real-analytic mapping-germs, (R^n,o)-> (R^m,o). They can be equivalent (by coordinate changes) complex-analytically, but not real-analytically. However, if the transformation of complex-equivalence is identity modulo higher order…

The Milnor number, \mu(X,0), and the singularity genus, p_g(X,0), are fundamental invariants of isolated hypersurface singularities (more generally, of local complete intersections). The long standing Durfee conjecture (and its…

The paper is devoted to relations between topological and metric properties of germs of real surfaces, obtained by analytic maps from $R^2$ to $R^4$. We show that for a big class of such surfaces the normal embedding property implies the…

Let $f\colon X\to\mathbb{A}^1_k$ be a morphism from a smooth variety to an affine line with an isolated singular point. For such a singularity, we have two invariants. One is a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form (de Rham), and the other…

This is now an expository note about the following classical problem. Let $(X, \bf 0)$ be the germ of a hypersurface in $(\mathbb C^n,\bf 0)$ with an ordinary singularity of multiplicity $m$ at the origin $\bf 0$. A natural question to ask…

We formulate certain sufficient conditions for the symplectic monodromy of an isolated quasihomogeneous singularity to be of infinite order in the relative symplectic mapping class group of the Milnor fibre and give a proof using Maslov…

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 an isolated plane curve singularity with Milnor fiber of genus at least 5. For all such f, we give (a) an intrinsic description of the geometric monodromy group that does not invoke the notion of the versal deformation space, and…

For a graph $G = (V(G), E(G))$, let $i(G)$ be the number of isolated vertices in $G$. The {\it isolated toughness} of $G$ is defined as $I(G) = min\{|S|/i(G-S) : S\subseteq V(G), i(G-S)\geq 2\}$ if $G$ is not complete; $I(G)=|V(G)|-1$…

We study analytic germs in one variable having a parabolic fixed point at the origin, over an ultrametric ground field of positive characteristic. It is conjectured that for such a germ the origin is isolated as a periodic point. Our main…

Consider the germ of an isolated surface singularity in $(\mC^3,0)$. The corresponding Milnor fibre possesses the homology lattice (the integral middle homology with a natural symmetric intersection form). An old question of A.Durfee (1978)…

Let $X$ be a complex affine variety in $\mathbb{C}^N$, and let $f:\mathbb{C}^N\to \mathbb{C}$ be a polynomial function whose restriction to $X$ is nonconstant. For $g:\mathbb{C}^N \to \mathbb{C}$ a general linear function, we study the…
