Let $X$ be a non-singular compact K\"ahler manifold, endowed with an effective divisor $D= \sum (1-\beta_k) Y_k$ having simple normal crossing support, and satisfying $\beta_k \in (0,1)$. The natural objects one has to consider in order to…

As observed by Kawamata, a $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothing of a Wahl singularity gives rise to a one-parameter flat degeneration of a matrix algebra. A similar result holds for a general smoothing of any two-dimensional cyclic quotient…

We study the geometry and topology of Hilbert schemes of points on the orbifold surface [C^2/G], respectively the singular quotient surface C^2/G, where G is a finite subgroup of SL(2,C) of type A or D. We give a decomposition of the…

We construct a new infinite family of 4-dimensional isolated symplectic singularities with trivial local fundamental group, answering a question of Beauville raised in 2000. Three constructions are presented for this family: (1) as…

We prove that the outer Lipschitz geometry of a germ $(X,0)$ of a normal complex surface singularity determines a large amount of its analytic structure. In particular, it follows that any analytic family of normal surface singularities…

We investigate the behaviour of vertices and inflexions on 1-parameter families of curves on smooth surfaces in the 3-space, which include a singular member. In particular, we discuss the context where the curves evolve as sections of a…

In this paper the singular hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^4$ of degree $d$ with an isolated singularity are studied. If the singularity is of type $A_{2k+1}$, under the condition $d<(k+5)/2$, a classification of such hypersurfaces…

We look at topological equisingularity of a holomorphic family of reduced mapping germs f_t:(C^3,O)->C over a contractible base T having non-isolated singularities, by means of their normalisations. We introduce the notion of…

Gradients of neural networks can be computed efficiently for any architecture, but some applications require differential operators with higher time complexity. We describe a family of restricted neural network architectures that allow…

As a generalization of a quasi-elliptic surface, there is a quasi-hyperelliptic surface, a nonsingular projective surface which has a fibration structure whose general fiber is a quasi-hyperelliptic curve ($=$ singular hyperelliptic curve…

We work over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. Ellingsrud-Peskine proved that smooth surfaces in P^4 are subject to strong limitations. Their whole argument is derived from the fact that the sectional genus of…

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety with Gorenstein singularities. We define the notion of a wonderful resolution of singularities of $X$ by analogy with the theory of wonderful compactifications of semi-simple linear algebraic groups. We prove…

Let $X$ be a codimension 1 subvariety of dimension $>1$ of a variety of minimal degree $Y$. If $X$ is subcanonical with Gorenstein canonical singularities admitting a crepant resolution, then $X$ is Arithmetically Gorenstein and we…

Let X/T be a one parameter family of canonical 3-folds and let D be a Weil divisor on it flat over T. We study the problem of when the D_t-minimal models of X_t form a family and we obtain conditions for this to happen. As an application of…

The subject is partial resolution of singularities. Given an algebraic variety X (not necessarily equidimensional) in characteristic zero (or, more generally, a pair (X,D), where D is a divisor on X), we construct a functorial…

Let $(f,g): (S,s) \to (\mathbb{C}^2, 0)$ be a finite morphism from a germ of normal complex analytic surface to the germ of $\mathbb{C}^2$ at the origin. We show that the affine algebraic curve in $\mathbb{C}^2$ defined by the initial…

We analyze the embedding dimension of a normal weighted homogeneous surface singularity, and more generally, the Poincar\'e series of the minimal set of generators of the graded algebra of regular functions, provided that the link of the…

This is an announcement of conjectures and results concerning the generating series of Euler characteristics of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces with simple (Kleinian) singularities. For a quotient surface C^2/G with G a finite…

We use an embedding of the symmetric $d$th power of any algebraic curve $C$ of genus $g$ into a Grassmannian space to give algorithms for working with divisors on $C$, using only linear algebra in vector spaces of dimension $O(g)$, and…

We study the Hilbert scheme $\mathcal{H}^\mathcal{L}_{d,g,r}$ parametrizing smooth, irreducible, non-degenerate and linearly normal curves of degree $d$ and genus $g$ in $\mathbb{P}^r$ whose complete and very ample hyperplane linear series…
