Let $V$ be a finite dimensional $k$-vector space, where $k$ is an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero. Let $G \subseteq \mathrm{SL}(V)$ be a finite abelian group, and denote by $S$ the $G$-invariant subring of the polynomial ring…
We propose definitions of SVD, spectral decomposition (for self-adjoint matrices) and Jordan decomposition which make sense for all rings. For many rings, these decompositions can be shown to exist. For some specific rings, these…
Let $Q$ be a quiver with dimension vector $\alpha$ prehomogeneous under the action of the product of general linear groups $\operatorname{GL}(\alpha)$ on the representation variety $\operatorname{Rep}(Q,\alpha)$. We study geometric…
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…
Let $\mathbb{R}$ be the field of real numbers. We consider the problem of computing the real isolated points of a real algebraic set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ given as the vanishing set of a polynomial system. This problem plays an important role…
Local Noetherian domains arising as local rings of points of varieties or in the context of algebraic number theory are analytically unramified, meaning their completions have no nontrivial nilpotent elements. However, looking elsewhere,…
Effective methods are introduced for testing zero-dimensionality of varieties at a point. The motivation of this paper is to compute and analyze deformations of isolated hypersurface singularities. As an application, methods for computing…
The Single Ring Theorem, by Guionnet, Krishnapur and Zeitouni, describes the empirical eigenvalue distribution of a large generic matrix with prescribed singular values, i.e. an $N\times N$ matrix of the form $A=UTV$, with $U, V$ some…
We give a complete classification of differential $\mathbb{Z}$-graded homotopy categories of matrix factorizations of isolated singularities up to quasi-equivalence. This answers a question of Bernhard Keller and Evgeny Shinder. More…
We propose a theory of eigenvalues, eigenvectors, singular values, and singular vectors for tensors based on a constrained variational approach much like the Rayleigh quotient for symmetric matrix eigenvalues. These notions are particularly…
We recall first the relations between the syzygies of the Jacobian ideal of the defining equation for a projective hypersurface $V$ with isolated singularities and the versality properties of $V$, as studied by du Plessis and Wall. Then we…
We find all $P$-resolutions of quotient surface singularities (especially, tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral singularities) together with their dual graphs, which reproduces Jan Steven's list [Manuscripta Math. 1993] of the numbers…
In this paper we develop a new approach for studying differential operators of an isolated singularity graded hypersurface ring $R$ defining a surface in affine three-space over a field of characteristic zero. With this method, we construct…
In this paper we study endomorphism rings of finite global dimension over not necessarily normal commutative rings. These objects have recently attracted attention as noncommutative (crepant) resolutions, or NC(C)Rs, of singularities. We…
We study the empirical measure $L_{A_n}$ of the eigenvalues of non-normal square matrices of the form $A_n=U_nD_nV_n$ with $U_n,V_n$ independent Haar distributed on the unitary group and $D_n$ real diagonal. We show that when the empirical…
We study isolated quotient singularities by finite and linearly reductive group schemes (lrq singularities for short) and show that they satisfy many, but not all, of the known properties of finite quotient singularities in characteristic…
Any ruled surface in Euclidean 3-space is described as a curve of unit dual vectors in the algebra of dual quaternions (=the even Clifford algebra of type (0,3,1)). Combining this classical framework and Singularity Theory, we characterize…
This work is concerned with categorical methods for studying singularities. Our focus is on birational derived splinters, which is a notion that extends the definition of rational singularities beyond varieties over fields of characteristic…
In this paper we show that any hypersurface singularities of germs of varieties in positive characteristic can be resolved by iterated monoidal transformations in centers in smooth subvarieties, if we have a valuation ring of iterated…
