Thom polynomials measure how global topology forces singularities. The power of Thom polynomials predestine them to be a useful tool not only in differential topology, but also in algebraic geometry (enumerative geometry, moduli spaces) and…

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…

For a given coorientable contact manifold $(M^{2n+1},\xi)$, we consider the group $ \operatorname{Cont}_c^{(r,\delta)}(M,\alpha)$ consisting of $C^{r,\delta}$ contactomorphisms with compact support which is equipped with…

We study boundary singularities which can appear for infinitesimal generators of one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps in the unit disc. We introduce "regular" fractional singularities and characterize them in terms of the…

The notion of non-projectible contact forms on a given compact manifold $M$ is introduced by the first-named author in [Ohb], the set of which he also shows is a residual subset of the set of (coorientable) contact forms, both in the case…

In this paper, we extend and complete the classification of the generic singularities of the 3D-contact sub-Riemmanian conjugate locus in a neighbourhood of the origin.

In this work we consider a class of contact manifolds $(M,\eta)$ with an associated almost contact metric structure $(\phi, \xi, \eta,g)$. This class contains, for example, nearly cosymplectic manifolds and the manifolds in the class…

A complex contact threefold is a threefold with a two-dimensional non-integrable holomorphic distribution. A contact curve on a contact threefold is an integrable curve of the distribution. This work was inspired by two papers of Bryant, in…

We consider the canonical contact structures on links of rational surface singularities with reduced fundamental cycle. These singularities can be characterized by their dual resolution graphs: the graph is a tree, and the weight of each…

We focus on a well-known convergence phenomenon, the fact that the $\zeta$ zeros are the universal singularities of certain Euler products.

We study the existence problem for complete contact forms with constant Tanaka--Webster scalar curvature on non-compact strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds. We prove that, under mild assumptions, the universal cover of a compact strictly…

In discrete geometry, the contact number of a given finite number of non-overlapping spheres was introduced as a generalization of Newton's kissing number. This notion has not only led to interesting mathematics, but has also found…

We study the problem of locating spectral singularities of a general complex point interaction with a support at a single point. We also determine the bound states, examine the special cases where the point interaction is P-, T-, and…

Take a closed monotone symplectic manifold containing a smooth anticanonical divisor. The quantum connection on its cohomology has singularities at zero and infinity (in the quantum parameter). At zero it has a regular singular point, by…

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…
