We propose an alternative variational principle whose critical point is the algebraic plane curve associated to a matrix model (the spectral curve, i.e. the large $N$ limit of the resolvent). More generally, we consider a variational…

Two Magma functions are given: one computes linear systems of plane curves with non-ordinary singularities and the other computes a scheme which parametrizes given degree plane curves with given singularities. These functions provide an…

We study the boundary of the Milnor fibre of real analytic singularities $f: (\bR^m,0) \to (\bR^k,0)$, $m\geq k$, with an isolated critical value and the Thom $a_f$-property. We define the vanishing zone for $f$ and we give necessary and…

We study the structure of collections of algebraic curves in three dimensions that have many curve-curve incidences. In particular, let $k$ be a field and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a collection of $n$ space curves in $k^3$, with…

We prove that any complex or real analytic set or function germ is topologically equivalent to a germ defined by polynomial equations whose coefficients are algebraic numbers.

We consider the Keplerian distance $d$ in the case of two elliptic orbits, i.e. the distance between one point on the first ellipse and one point on the second one, assuming they have a common focus. The absolute minimum $d_{\rm min}$ of…

We prove that for any two definable germs in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure, there exists a critical threshold $\alpha_0 \in (0,1)$ such that if these germs are bi-$\alpha$-H"older equivalent for some $\alpha \ge \alpha_0$, then…

The Hodge spectrum is an important analytic invariant of singularities encoding the Hodge filtration and the monodromy of the Milnor fiber. Explicit formulas exist for only a few cases. In this article the main result is a combinatorial…

We find and describe unexpected isomorphisms between two very different objects associated to hypersurface singularities. One object is the Milnor algebra of a function, while the other object associated to a singularity is the local ring…

Let $\varphi:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continuously differentiable function on an interval $J\subset\mathbb{R}$ and let $\boldsymbol{\alpha}=(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$ be a point with algebraically conjugate coordinates such that the…

For a smooth plane cubic $B$, we count curves $C$ of degree $d$ such that the normalizations of $C\backslash B$ are isomorphic to $\Bbb A^1$, for $d\leq7$ (for $d=7$ under some assumption). We also count plane rational quartic curves…

The subject of this paper is the bounded level curves of a meromorphic function $f$ with domain $G$ such that each component of $\partial{G}$ consists of a level curve of $f$. (A primary example of such a function being a ratio of finite…

Given a finitely presented Graded Commutative Differential Algebra (GCDA), we present a method to compute its minimal model, together with a map that is a quasi-isomorphism up to a given degree. The method works by adding generators one by…

It is known that every germ of an analytic set is homeomorphic to the germ of an algebraic set. In this paper we show that the homeomorphism can be chosen in such a way that the analytic and algebraic germs are tangent with any prescribed…

We exhibit planar, rational curves of large degree over ${\mathbb F}_2$ that have a unique singular point, which has multiplicity 2. In characteristic 0 such curves exist only for degrees up to $6$. v.2: references updated and examples of…

We give an explicit formula for the log-canonical threshold of a reduced germ of plane curve. The formula depends only on the first two maximal contact values of the branches and their intersection multiplicities. We also improve the two…

The critical point degree of a periodic graph operator is the number of critical points of its complex Bloch variety. Determining it is a step towards the spectral edges conjecture and more generally understanding Bloch varieties. Previous…

We give explicit parametric equations for all irreducible plane projective sextic curves which have at most double points and whose total Milnor number is maximal (is equal to 19). In each case we find a parametrization over a number field…

This paper focuses on the problem of topological equivalence of functions with isolated critical points on the boundary of a compact surface $M$ which are also isolated critical points of their restrictions to the boundary. This class of…

We give two formulae which express the Alexander polynomial $\Delta^C$ of several variables of a plane curve singularity $C$ in terms of the ring ${\cal O}_{C}$ of germs of analytic functions on the curve. One of them expresses $\Delta^C$…
