A criterion is given in order that the ideals of a one branch curve singularity form at most 2-parameter families. Namely, we present a list of plane curve singularities from the Arnold's classification which are the smallest among all one…

This paper is concerned with the local bifurcation analysis around typical singularities of piecewise smooth planar dynamical systems. Three-parameter families of a class of non$-$smooth vector fields are studied and the tridimensional…

We describe singularities of the convex hull of a generic compact smooth hypersurface in four-dimensional affine space up to diffeomorphisms. It turns out there are only two new singularities (in comparison with the previous dimension case)…

The study of evolutes of plane curves goes back at least to Huygens, and was continued and extended to space curves by Monge, Darboux, and others. Salmon studied projective curves and surfaces and their evolutes and gave many enumerative…

We obtain the bifurcation of some special curves on generic 1-parameter families of surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space. The curves treated here are the locus of points where the induced pseudo metric is degenerate, the discriminant of the…

To study a deformation of a singularity taking into consideration their differential geometric properties, a form representing the deformation using only diffeomorphisms on the source space and isometries of the target space plays a crucial…

Lens models appropriate for representing cusped galaxies and clusters are developed. The analogue of the odd number theorem for cusped density distributions is given. Density cusps are classified into strong, isothermal or weak, according…

We give bounds on the gap functions of the singularities of a cuspidal plane curve of arbitrary genus, generalising recent work of Borodzik and Livingston. We apply these inequalities to unicuspidal curves whose singularity has one Puiseux…

In this paper, we deal with plane curves with cusps. It is well known that there are various types of cusps. Among them, we investigate criteria for $(n, n+1)$ cusps with respect to several differential conditions and relations between…

For curves singularities the dimension of smoothing components in the deformation space is an invariant of the singularity, but in general the deformation space has components of different dimensions. We are interested in the question what…

The degenerate singularities of systems from one well-known multiparameter family of integrable systems of rigid body dynamics are studied. Axisymmetric Zhukovsky systems are considered, i.e. axisymmetric Euler tops after adding a constant…

We enumerate complex curves on toric surfaces of any given degree and genus, having a single cusp and nodes as their singularities, and matching appropriately many point constraints. The solution is obtained via tropical enumerative…

A cusp singularity is a surface singularity whose minimal resolution is a cycle of smooth rational curves meeting transversely. Cusp singularities come in naturally dual pairs. Looijenga proved in 1981 that if a cusp singularity is…

The generic singularities and bifurcations are classified for one-parameter families of curves with frames in a space form, the Euclidean space, the elliptic space or the hyperbolic space via projective geometry. Two kinds of frames are…

In a previous paper, the first three authors formulated a precise conjecture about the dimension of the {\it generalized Severi variety} $M^n_{d,g; {\rm S}, {\bf k}}$ of degree-$d$ holomorphic maps $\mathbb{P}^1 \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$…

An I-surface $S$ is an algebraic surface of general type with $K_S^2 = 1$ and $p_g(S) = 2$. Recent research has centered on trying to give an explicit description of the KSBA compactification of the moduli space of these surfaces. The…
