The thesis deals with holomorphic germs $ \Phi: (\mathbb{C}^2, 0) \to (\mathbb{C}^3,0) $ singular only at the origin, with a special emphasis on the distinguished class of finitely determined germs. The results are published in two articles…
One of the various versions of the classical Lyapunov-Poincar\'e center theorem states that a nondegenerate real analytic center type planar vector field singularity admits an analytic first integral. In a more proof of this result, R.…
A question of B. Teissier, inspired by a previous problem of R. Thom, asks whether for any germ of complex analytic hypersurface there exists a germ of complex algebraic hypersurface with the same topological type. Up to now only the case…
We prove that the preimage of a germ of a singular analytic hypersurface under a germ of a finite holomorphic map $g: (\mathbb{C}^n,0) \rightarrow (\mathbb{C}^n,0)$ is again singular. This provides a generalization of previous results of…
In this article we study the cohomological and homological (due to Jannsen) Hodge conjecture for singular varieties. The motivation for studying singular varieties comes from the fact that any smooth projective variety X is birational to a…
This article is an exposition of an elementary constructive proof of canonical resolution of singularities in characteristic zero, presented in detail in Invent. Math. 128 (1997), 207-302. We define a new local invariant and get an…
We study groups of germs of complex diffeomorphisms having a property called irreducibility. The notion is motivated by a similar property of the fundamental group of the complement of an irreducible hypersurface in the complex projective…
The main purpose of this article is to lay the foundations for a classification of isolated hypersurface singularities in positive characteristic. Although our article is in the spirit of Arnol'd who classified real an complex hypersurfaces…
The following pullback problem will be considered. Given a finite holomorphic map germ $\phi : (\mathbb{C}^{n}, 0) \to (\mathbb{C}^{n}, 0)$ and an analytic germ $X$ in the target, if the preimage $Y = \phi^{-1}(X)$, taken with the reduced…
In this paper we give complete analytic invariants for germs of holomorphic foliations in $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ that become regular after a single blow-up. Some of them describe the holonomy pseudogroup of the germ and are called transverse…
Second-order superintegrable systems in dimensions two and three are essentially classified. With increasing dimension, however, the non-linear partial differential equations employed in current methods become unmanageable. Here we propose…
Using Lipman's results on resolution of two-dimensional singularities, we provide a form of resolution of singularities in codimension two for reduced quasi-excellent schemes. We deduce that operations of degree less than two on algebraic…
This paper is devoted to the resolution of singularities of holomorphic vector fields and of one-dimensional holomorphic foliations in dimension 3 and it has two main objectives. First, from the general perspective of one-dimensional…
We prove some epsilon regularity results for n-dimensional minimal two-valued Lipschitz graphs. The main theorems imply uniqueness of tangent cones and regularity of the singular set in a neighbourhood of any point at which at least one…
Resolution of singularities of varieties over fields of characteristic zero can be proved by using the multiplicity as main invariant. The proof of this result leads to new questions in positive characteristic. We discuss here results which…
In the recent articles by Alper, Eastwood and Isaev, it was conjectured that all rational $GL_n({\mathbb C})$-invariant functions of forms of degree $d\ge 3$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$ can be extracted, in a canonical way, from those of forms of…
The concept of the maximal contact is the key in Hironaka's resolution theory. It treats local theory, and it is not effective in positive characteristics. This is the essential reason why Hironaka's theory treats only the case of…
This is a note on my mini-course in the International Workshop on Real and Complex Singularities held at ICMC-USP (Sao Carlos, Brazil) in July 2012. Here we introduce a new branch of the Thom polynomial theory for singularities of…
We present a classification algorithm for isolated hypersurface singularities of corank 2 and modality 1 over the real numbers. For a singularity given by a polynomial over the rationals, the algorithm determines its right equivalence class…
In this sequel to Resolution except for minimal singularities I, we find the smallest class of singularities in four variables with which we necessarily end up if we resolve singularities except for normal crossings. The main new feature is…
