The present article provides an overview of Yakov Eliashberg's seminal contributions to the concepts of orderability and contact non-squeezing. It also examines subsequent research by various authors, highlighting the significance of these…
Wrinkling techniques, introduced by Eliashberg and Mishachev, are typically used to prove h-principles of the form: ``formal solutions of a partial differential relation $\mathcal{R}$ can be deformed to singular/wrinkled solutions''. What a…
K\"ahler's paper "\"Uber die Verzweigung einer algebraischen Funktion zweier Ver\"anderlichen in der Umgebung einer singul\"aren Stelle" offered a more perceptual view of the link of a complex plane curve singularity than that provided…
This is a survey article on $F$-singularities and their applications.
This is a survey paper on the quantitative analysis of the propagation of singularities for the viscosity solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the past decades. We also review further applications of the theory to various fields such…
The holonomic approximation lemma of Eliashberg and Mishachev is a powerful tool in the philosophy of the $h-$principle. By carefully keeping track of the quantitative geometry behind the holonomic approximation process, we establish…
We extend Gromov and Eliashberg-Mishachev's h-principle on manifolds to stratified spaces. This is done in both the sheaf-theoretic framework of Gromov and the smooth jets framework of Eliashberg-Mishachev. The generalization involves…
We give an introduction to the theory of $V$-filtrations of Malgrange and Kashiwara. After discussing the basic properties of this construction (in the case of a smooth hypersurface and, later, in the general case), we describe the…
The Yang-Lee edge singularity is a prototypical example of the application of renormalization group ideas to critical behavior, and one to which Michael Fisher made several important contributions. Moreover it has connections to several…
We present an application of elimination theory to the study of singularities over arbitrary fields, particularly to the open problem of resolution. A partial extension of a function, defining resolution of singularities over fields of…
We extend Y.Eliashberg's $h$-principle to smooth maps of surfaces which are allowed to have cusp singularities, as well as folds. More precisely, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a given map of surfaces to be homotopic to…
This article is a record of the lecture at the centennial conference for Harish-Chandra. The admissibility theorem of Harish-Chandra concerns the restrictions of irreducible representations to maximal compact subgroups. In this article, we…
This is an addendum to the paper ``Deformation of $L_\infty$-Algebras'' of the same author. We explain in which way the deformation theory of $L_\infty$-algebras extends the deformation theory of singularities. We show that the construction…
We introduce a combinatorial characterization of simpliciality for arrangements of hyperplanes. We then give a sharp upper bound for the number of hyperplanes of such an arrangement in the projective plane over a finite field, and present…
A simple new proof of the Harish-Chandra condition, preceded by an expository part on Hermitian symmetric spaces, holomorphic induction, and on some analytic tools.
We refer to the classic definition of a singularity in Einstein's general relativity (based on geodesic incompletness) as well as to some other criteria to evaluate the nature of singularities in cosmology. We review what different…
This article has the following aims: (1) Extend the notion of fuchsian singularities (of first kind) to base fields of arbitrary characteristic. (2) Discuss their relationship to mathematical objects of a different nature. (3) Provide a…
In these lectures I propose to push Einstein's principle of coordinate independence to the extreme in order to restrict the possible form of fundamental equations of motion in physics. I start from nearly tautological system theoretic…
Essentials of sheaves are briefly presented, followed by related comments on presheaves, bundles, manifolds and singularities, aiming to point to their differences not only in their different formal mathematical structures, but also in the…
In this article we study immersions of the circle that are tangent to an Engel structure $\mathcal{D}$. We show that a full $h$-principle does exist as soon as one excludes the closed orbits of $\mathcal{W}$, the kernel of $\mathcal{D}$.…
