We construct a model complete and o-minimal expansion of the field of real numbers such that, for any planar analytic vector field X and any isolated, non-resonant hyperbolic singularity p of X, a transition map for X at p is definable in…
We present a proof of embedded desingularization for closed subschemes which does not make use of Hilbert-Samuel function and avoids Hironaka's notion of normal flatness. This proof, already sketched in [A course on constructive…
We investigate particular cosmological models, based either on tachyon fields or on perfect fluids, for which soft future singularities arise in a natural way. Our main result is the description of a smooth crossing of the soft singularity…
We address the question of detecting minimal virtual diagrams with respect to the number of virtual crossings. This problem is closely connected to the problem of detecting the minimal number of additional intersection points for a generic…
We show that isolated surface singularities which are non-normal may have Milnor fibers which are non-diffeomorphic to those of their normalizations. Therefore, non-normal isolated singularities enrich the collection of Stein fillings of…
The birational classification of varieties inevitably leads to the study of singularities. The types of singularities that occur in this context have been studied by Mori, Koll\'ar, Reid, and others, beginning in the 1980s with the…
We show that directed minimal cones in (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space which have at most one singularity are - besides the trivial cases: empty set, whole space - half spaces. Using blow-up techniques, this result can be used to get…
Consider a projective variety $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ (over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero), together with a (reduced) simple normal crossings divisor $E \subset \mathbb{P}^n$, where the degrees of both $X$ and $E$…
The singularity at a simultaneous binary collision is explored in the collinear 4-body problem. It is known that any attempt to remove the singularity via block regularisation will result in a regularised flow that is no more than $ C^{8/3}…
In characteristic zero, we construct relative principalization of ideals for logarithmically regular morphisms of logarithmic schemes, and use it to construct logarithmically regular desingularization of morphisms. These constructions are…
We present a new method for obtaining norm bounds for random matrices, where each entry is a low-degree polynomial in an underlying set of independent real-valued random variables. Such matrices arise in a variety of settings in the…
The 4-dimensional abstract Kummer variety K^4 with 16 nodes leads to the K3 surface by resolving the 16 singularities. Here we present a simplicial realization of this minimal resolution. Starting with a minimal 16-vertex triangulation of…
We survey determinantal singularities, their deformations, and their topology. This class of singularities generalizes the well studied case of complete intersections in several different aspects, but exhibits a plethora of new phenomena…
We exhibit a concentration-collapse decomposition of singularities of fourth order curvature flows, including the $L^2$ curvature flow and Calabi flow, in dimensions $n \leq 4$. The proof requires the development of several new a priori…
This paper is a continuation of the work by the same authors on the Cartan group equipped with the sub-Finsler $\ell_\infty$ norm. We start by giving a detailed presentation of the structure of bang-bang extremal trajectories. Then we prove…
Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field with perfect residue field $k$. If $X \to \mathbb{P}^1_K$ is a $\mathbb{Z}/d$-cover with $\text{char } k \nmid d$, we compute the minimal regular normal crossings model $\mathcal{X}$ of $X$ as…
We study F-blowups of non-F-regular normal surface singularities. Especially the cases of rational double points and simple elliptic singularities are treated in detail.
When mathematical/computational problems reach infinity, extending analysis and/or numerical computation beyond it becomes a notorious challenge. We suggest that, upon suitable singular transformations (that can in principle be…
We study the problem of resolving singularities via the blow-up of the module of derivations. Our main results are a positive answer for the case of curves and log-canonical surface singularities, i.e., a finite sequence of blow-ups along…
We study different notions of blow-up of a scheme X along a subscheme Y, depending on the datum of an embedding of X into an ambient scheme. The two extremes in this theory are the ordinary blow-up, corresponding to the identity, and the…
