By the Mather-Yau theorem, a complex hypersurface germ $V$ with isolated singularity is completely determined by its moduli algebra $A(V)$. The proof of the theorem does not provide an explicit procedure for recovering $V$ from $A(V)$, and…
This paper formulates an elementary algorithm for resolution of singularities in a neighborhood of a singular point over a field of characteristic zero. The algorithm is composed of finite sequences of Newton polyhedra and monomial…
For a surjective self-morphism on a projective variety defined over a number field, we study the preimages question, which asks if the set of rational points on the iterated preimages of an invariant closed subscheme eventually stabilize.…
Modifications to the singularity structure of D3-branes that result from turning on a flux for the R-R and NS-NS 3-forms (fractional D3-branes) provide important gravity duals of four-dimensional N=1 super-Yang-Mills theories. We construct…
In this survey on local additive invariants of real and complex definable singular germs we systematically present classical or more recent invariants of different nature as emerging from a tame degeneracy principle. For this goal, we…
A result of Beauville states that with a few positive characterstic exceptions, the smooth hyperplane sections of hypersurfaces of degree $d>2$ in projective space are not all isomorphic. We address the question of whether these sections…
In this article we study Cohen-Macaulay modules over one-dimensional hypersurface singularities and the relationship with the representation theory of associative algebras using methods of cluster tilting theory. We give a criterion for…
We prove that, if two germs of plane curves $(C,0)$ and $(C',0)$ with at least one singular branch are equivalent by a (real) smooth diffeomorphism, then $C$ is complex isomorphic to $C'$ or to $\overline{C'}$. A similar result was shown by…
We study irreducible subvarieties of the universal hypersurface $\mathcal{X}/B$ of degree $d$ and dimension $n$. We prove that when $d$ is sufficiently large, a degree $kd$ subvariety $Z$ which dominates $B$ comes from intersection with a…
Grothendieck has proved that each class in the de Rham cohomology of a smooth complex affine variety can be represented by a differential form with polynomial coefficients. After having proved a single exponential bound for the degrees of…
Let $A$ be an excellent two-dimensional normal local ring containing an algebraically closed field and let $X\to \mathrm{Spec} (A)$ be a resolution of singularity. We prove a theorem giving a condition under which the dimension of the…
We prove the two theorems of the title, settling two long standing questions in the local theory of singular minimal hypersurfaces. The sharpness of either result is with respect to its hypothesis on the size of the allowable singular sets.…
In a previous article, a universal linear algebraic model was proposed for describing homogeneous conformal geometries, such as the spherical, Euclidean, hyperbolic, Minkowski, anti-de Sitter and Galilei planes. This formalism was…
We establish an algorithm for resolution of singularities of an idealistic filtration in dimension 3 (at the local level) in positive characteristic, incorporating the method recently developed by Benito-Villamayor into our framework.…
Updated version of 2013 Arizona WInter School notes on modularity lifting theorems for for two-dimensional p-adic representations, using wherever possible arguments that go over to the n-dimensional (self-dual) case.
A complex variety $X$ admits a cellular resolution of singularities if there exists a resolution of singularities $\widetilde X\to X$ such that its exceptional locus as well as $\widetilde X$ and the singular locus of $X$ admit a cellular…
We develop new techniques to study regularity questions for moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves that are multiply covered. Among the main results, we show that unbranched multiple covers of closed holomorphic curves are generically…
We explicitly describe germs of strongly pseudoconvex non-spherical real-analytic hypersurfaces $M$ at the origin in $\CC^{n+1}$ for which the group of local CR-automorphisms preserving the origin has dimension $d_0(M)$ equal to either…
Faltings proved that there are finitely many abelian varieties of genus $g$ over a number field $K$, with good reduction outside a finite set of primes $S$. Fixing one of these abelian varieties $A$, we prove that there are finitely many…
In this paper, a geometric resolution of singularities algorithm is developed. This method is elementary in its statement and proof, using explicit coordinate systems as much as possible. Each coordinate change used in the resolution…
