Consider a polynomial $f$ defined over a field $k$, the multiplicity is perhaps the most naive measurement of the singularities of $f$. This paper describes the first steps toward understanding a much more subtle measure of singularities…

A plurisubharmonic singularity is extreme if it cannot be represented as the sum of non-homothetic singularities. A complete characterization of such singularities is given for the case of homogeneous singularities (in particular, those…

We investigate properties of potentially Du Bois singularities, that is, those that occur on the underlying space of a Du Bois pair. We show that a normal variety $X$ with potentially Du Bois singularities and Cartier canonical divisor…

A real morphism $f$ from a real algebraic curve $X$ to $\mathbb{P}^1$ is called separating if $f^{-1}(\mathbb{R} \mathbb{P}^1) = \mathbb{R} X$. A separating morphism defines a covering $\mathbb{R} X \to \mathbb{R} \mathbb{P}^1$. Let $X_1,…

We extend the definition of $\mathcal{A}$-discriminant varieties, and Kapranov's parametrization of $\mathcal{A}$-discriminant varieties, to complex exponents. As an application, we study the special case where $\mathcal{A}$ is a fixed real…

Let E be a plane rational curve defined over complex numbers which has only locally irreducible singularities. The Coolidge-Nagata conjecture states that E is rectifiable, i.e. it can be transformed into a line by a birational automorphism…

We say that a subset of $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{R})$ is maximally singular if its contains points with $\mathbb{Q}$-linearly independent homogenous coordinates whose uniform exponent of simultaneous rational approximation is equal to $1$, the…

We investigate some necessary and sufficient conditions for an exceptional divisor to contribute jumping numbers of an effective divisor on a variety of arbitrary dimension, inspired by the results for curves on surfaces by Smith and…

Existence and uniqueness theorems for quantum stochastic differential equations with nontrivial initial conditions are proved for coefficients with completely bounded columns. Applications are given for the case of finite-dimensional…

Let $G$ be a group of odd order and $\chi$ be a complex irreducible character. Then there exists a unique character $\chi^{(2)}\in\Irr(G)$ such that $[\chi^2,\chi^{(2)}]$ is odd. Also, there exists a unique character $\psi\in \Irr(G)$ such…

We investigate the quantitative uniqueness of solutions to parabolic equations with lower order terms on compact smooth manifolds. Quantitative uniqueness is a quantitative form of strong unique continuation property. We characterize…

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…

A set of nodes is called $n$-independent if each its node has a fundamental polynomial of degree $n.$ We proved in a previous paper [H. Hakopian and S. Toroyan, On the minimal number of nodes determining uniquelly algebraic curves, accepted…

We associate to every analytic surface singularity $(V,0)$ in $(\mathbb C^3,0)$, not necessarily isolated, an invariant $mult^* (V)$ and show that an analytic family of such singularities $(V_t,0)$, $t\in (\mathbb C^l,0)$, is generically…

Triangle singularities are Fuchsian singularities associated with von Dyck groups, which are index two subgroups of Schwarz triangle groups. Hypersurface triangle singularities are classified by Dolgachev, and give 14 exceptional unimodal…

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…

Recent study in K-stability suggests that klt singularities whose local volumes are bounded away from zero should be bounded up to special degeneration. We show that this is true in dimension three, or when the minimal log discrepancies of…

We prove that if Y is a hypersurface of degree d in P^n with isolated singularities, then the log canonical threshold of (P^n,Y) is at least min{n/d,1}. Moreover, if d is at least n+1, then we have equality if and only if Y is the…

We prove that if $\phi:(X,0)\to (X,0)$ is a finite endomorphism of an isolated singularity such that $\operatorname{deg}(\phi)\geq 2$ and $\phi$ is \'etale in codimension 1, then $X$ is $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein and log canonical.

In this paper, we show that the depth of an isolated log canonical center is determined by the cohomology of the -1 discrepancy diviors over it. A similar result also holds for normal isolated Du Bois singularities.
