In our previous works we have classified real non-singular cubic hypersurfaces in the 5-dimensional projective space up to equivalence that includes both real projective transformations and continuous variations of coefficients preserving…

We consider a singular holomorphic foliation $\uF$ defined near a compact curve $\uC$ of a complex surface. Under some hypothesis on $(\uF,\uC)$ we prove that there exists a system of tubular neighborhoods $U$ of a curve $\underline{\mc D}$…

By using superisolated surface singularities whose link is a rational homology sphere we give counterexamples to some of the most important conjetures concernig invariants of normal surface singularities.

The current article studies certain problems related to complex cycles of holomorphic foliations with singularities in the complex plane. We focus on the case when polynomial differential one-form gives rise to a foliation by Riemann…

We define and study a relative perverse $t$-structure associated with any finitely presented morphism of schemes $f: X\to S$, with relative perversity equivalent to perversity of the restrictions to all geometric fibres of $f$. The…

We survey some recent results concerning the behaviour of the contact structure defined on the boundary of a complex isolated hypersurface singularity or on the boundary at infinity of a complex polynomial.

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…

A simple characterization is given of open subsets of a complex surface that smoothly perturb to Stein open subsets. As applications, complex 2-space C^2 contains domains of holomorphy (Stein open subsets) that are exotic R^4's, and others…

We prove the existence of normal forms for some local real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces with an isolated line singularity. We also give sufficient conditions for that a Levi-flat hypersurface with a complex line as singularity to be a…

On a complex contact manifold, or complex symplectic manifold with weight-1 circle action, we construct a sheaf of stable categories carrying a t-structure which is locally equivalent to a microlocalization of the perverse t-structure.

We introduce braid monodromy for the discriminant hypersurface in versal unfoldings of hypersurface singularities. Our objective is then to compute this invariant for singularities of Brieskorn Pham type: First we consider the unfolding by…

We give a recursive formula, expressed in terms of the characteristic tuples, for the Betti numbers of the boundary of the Milnor fiber of an irreducible quasi-ordinary surface. The singular locus of the surface consists of two components,…

Given a real analytic function $f$ from $\mathbb{R}^4$ to $\mathbb{R}^2$ with isolated critical point at the origin, the link $L_f$ of the singularity is a real fibred knot in $\mathbb{S}^{3}$. From this singularities, we construct a family…

We give a geometric characterization of certain hypersurfaces of cohomogeneity one in the complex projective and hyperbolic planes. We also obtain some partial classifications of austere hypersurfaces and of Levi-flat hypersurfaces with…

We describe an algorithm computing the monodromy and the pole order filtration on the top Milnor fiber cohomology of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$ whose pole order spectral sequence degenerates at the second page. In the case of…

We explore the connection between the rank of a polynomial and the singularities of its vanishing locus. We first describe the singularity of generic polynomials of fixed rank. We then focus on cubic surfaces. Cubic surfaces with isolated…

We describe a new relation between the topology of hypersurface complements, Milnor fibers and degree of gradient mappings. The main tools are polar curves and the affine Lefschetz theory developped by H. Hamm and A. N\'emethi. In the…

Let $f : X\to \Delta$ be a $1$-parameter family of $2$-dimensional isolated hypersurface singularities. In this paper, we show that if the Milnor number is constant, then any semistable model, obtained from $f$ after a sufficiently large…

There are many results showing the connection and phenomenon between some low-dimensional manifolds with the profinite completions of their fundamental groups. We focus on some Seifert 4-manifolds about the extent of their profinite…

We consider flat surfaces and the points of their metric completions, particularly the singularities to which the flat structure of the surface does not extend. The local behavior near a singular point x can be partially described by a…
