Singular fibrations generalize achiral Lefschetz fibrations of 4-manifolds over surfaces while sharing some of their properties. For instance, relatively minimal singular fibrations are determined by their monodromy. We explain how to…

We study the vanishing cycle complex $\varphi_fA_X$ for a holomorphic function $f$ on a reduced complex analytic space $X$ with $A$ a Dedekind domain (for instance, a localization of the ring of integers of a cyclotomic field, where the…

The aim of this fisrt part is to introduce, for a rather large class of hypersurface singularities with 1 dimensionnal locus, the analog of the Brieskorn lattice at the origin (the singular point of the singular locus). The main results are…

We study equisingular deformation problems for curves and surfaces in algebraic families, with particular emphasis on situations where nodal behavior is no longer generic. Extending classical Severi theory, we develop deformation--theoretic…

In [22] Milnor proved that a real analytic map $f\colon (R^n,0) \to (R^p,0)$, where $n \geq p$, with an isolated critical point at the origin has a fibration on the tube $f|\colon B_\epsilon^n \cap f^{-1}(S_\delta^{p-1}) \to…

We introduce and study the vanishing homology of singular projective hypersurfaces. We prove its concentration in two levels in case of 1-dimensional singular locus $\Sigma$, and moreover determine the ranks of the nontrivial homology…

Let $X$ be an integral affine or projective hypersurface over a field $F$ of characteristic $p>0$, and let $F(X)$ denote its function field. In a recent article, Dolphin and Hoffmann obtained an explicit description of the kernel of the…

Let $\xi$ be a real analytic vector field with an elementary isolated singularity at $0\in \mathbb{R}^3$ and eigenvalues $\pm bi,c$ with $b,c\in \mathbb{R}$ and $b\neq 0$. We prove that all cycles of $\xi$ in a sufficiently small…

For a holomorphic function on a complex manifold, we show that the vanishing cohomology of lower degree at a point is determined by that for the points near it, using the perversity of the vanishing cycle complex. We calculate it explicitly…

For an isolated hypersurface singularity which is neither simple nor simple elliptic, it is shown that there exists a distinguished basis of vanishing cycles which contains two basis elements with an arbitrary intersection number. This…

Let $(f, g)$ be a pair of complex analytic functions on a singular analytic space $X$. We give ``the correct'' definition of the relative polar curve of $(f, g)$, and we give a very formal generalization of L\^e's attaching result, which…

We recover the Newton diagram (modulo a natural ambiguity) from the link for any surface hypersurface singularity with non-degenerate Newton principal part whose link is a rational homology sphere. As a corollary, we show that the link…

We provide a positive answer to Zariski's conjecture for families of singular surfaces in $\mathbb C^3,$ under the condition that the family has a smooth normalisation. As a corollary of the result, we obtain a surprising characterization…

We study the Milnor monodromies of non-isolated hypersurface singularities and show that the reduced cohomology groups of the Milnor fibers are concentrated in the middle degree for some eigenvalues of the monodromies. As an application of…

For isolated complex hypersurface singularities with real defining equation we show the existence of a monodromy vector field such that complex conjugation intertwines the local monodromy diffeomorphism with its inverse. In particular, it…

This paper studies hypersurface exceptional singularities in $\mathbb C^n$ defined by non-degenerate function. For each canonical hypersurface singularity, there exists a weighted homogeneous singularity such that the former is exceptional…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a singular Riemann surface foliation on a complex manifold $M$, such that the singular set $E \subset M$ is non-discrete. We study the behavior of the foliation near the singular set $E$, particularly focusing on…

Let D be a closed unit 2-disk on the plane centered at the origin 0, and F be a smooth vector field on D such that O is a unique singular point of F and all other orbits of F are simple closed curves wrapping once around O. Thus…

We prove that the signature of the Milnor fiber of smoothings of a $2$-dimensional isolated complete intersection singularity does not exceed the negative number determined by the geometric genus, the embedding dimension and the number of…

We present a hypersurface singularity in positive characteristic which is defined by a purely inseparable power series, and a sequence of point blowups so that, after applying the blowups to the singularity, the same type of singularity…
