We use classical invariant theory to construct invariants of complex graded Gorenstein algebras of finite vector space dimension. As a consequence, we obtain a way of extracting certain numerical invariants of quasi-homogeneous isolated…

A finite subgroup of the conformal group SL(2,C) can be related to invariant polynomials on a hypersurface in C^3. The latter then carries a simple singularity, which resolves by a finite iteration of basic cycles of deprojections. The…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the geometric properties of real hypersurfaces of D'Angelo infinite type in ${\mathbb C}^n$. In order to understand the situation of flatness of these hypersurfaces, it is natural to ask whether…

Esnault-Viehweg developed the theory of cyclic branched coverings $\tilde X\to X$ of smooth surfaces providing a very explicit formula for the decomposition of $H^1(\tilde X,\mathbb{C})$ in terms of a resolution of the ramification locus.…

Given a singular hypersurface in a regular 2-dimensional scheme essentially of finite type over a field, we construct an embedded resolution of singularities by weighted blow-ups. This differs from our earlier work which required…

We introduce a notion of volume of a normal isolated singularity that generalizes Wahl's characteristic number of surface singularities to arbitrary dimensions. We prove a basic monotonicity property of this volume under finite morphisms.…

Let $F \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ be a homogeneous form of degree $d \geq 2$, and $V_F^*$ the singular locus of the hypersurface $\{\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{A}^n_{\mathbb{C}}: F(\mathbf{x}) = 0 \}$. A longstanding result of Birch…

For a weighted quasihomogeneous two dimensional hypersurface singularity, we define a smoothing with unipotent monodromy and an isolated graded normal singularity. We study the natural weighted blow up of both the smoothing and the surface.…

We effectively bound T-singularities on non-rational projective surfaces with an arbitrary amount of T-singularities and ample canonical class. This fully generalizes the previous work for the case of one singularity, and illustrates the…

In F-theory, if a fiber type of an elliptic fibration involves a condition that requires an exceptional curve to split into two irreducible components, it is called ``split'' or ``non-split'' type depending on whether it is globally…

In this paper we provide the final steps in the proof, announced by Eskin-Fisher-Whyte, of quasi-isometric rigidity of a class of non-nilpotent polycyclic groups. To this end, we prove a rigidity theorem on the boundaries of certain…

In this expository note, I present some of the key features of the lattice of torsion classes of a finite-dimensional algebra, focussing in particular on its complete semidistributivity and consequences thereof. This is intended to serve as…

We give partial answers to a metric version of Zariski's multiplicity conjecture. In particular, we prove the multiplicity of complex analytic surface (not necessarily isolated) singularities in $\mathbb{C}^3$ is a bi-Lipschitz invariant.

We study the global behavior of (weakly) stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in general Riemannian manifolds. By using harmonic function theory, we prove some one-end theorems which are new even for constant mean curvature…

We review properties of closed meromorphic $1$-forms and of the foliations defined by them. We present and explain classical results from foliation theory, like index theorems, the existence of separatrices, and resolution of singularities…

Hironaka's concept of characteristic polyhedron of a singularity has been one of the most powerful and fruitful ideas of the last decades in singularity theory. In fact, since then combinatorics have become a major tool in many important…

For compact Riemann surfaces, the collar theorem and Bers' partition theorem are major tools for working with simple closed geodesics. The main goal of this paper is to prove similar theorems for hyperbolic cone-surfaces. Hyperbolic…

We continue the development of the theory of infinitesimal Lipschitz equivalence, showing the genericity of the condition for families of hypersurfaces with isolated singularities.

A Structure Theorem for Protori is derived for the category of finite-dimensional protori(compact connected abelian groups), which details the interplay between the properties of density, discreteness, torsion, and divisibility within a…

The relativistic membrane equation can be rewritten as a first order hyperbolic system. Making use of the characteristic decomposition method, a new blow-up theorem is established. As an application, it demonstrates the formation of…
