The number of Morse points in a Morsification determines the topology of the Milnor fibre of a holomorphic function germ $f$ with isolated singularity. If $f$ has an arbitrary singular locus, then this nice relation to the Milnor fibre…

The multiple root loci among univariate polynomials of degree $n$ are indexed by partitions of $n$. We study these loci and their conormal varieties. The projectively dual varieties are joins of such loci where the partitions are hooks. Our…

We answer to a problem raised by recent work of Jelonek and Kurdyka: how can one detect by rational arcs the bifurcation locus of a polynomial map $\bR^n\to\bR^p$ in case $p>1$. We describe an effective estimation of the "nontrivial" part…
