Let $(S,0)$ be a rational complex surface singularity with reduced fundamental cycle, also known as a {\em minimal} singularity. Using a fundamental result by M. Spivakovsky, we explain how to get a minimal resolution of the discriminant…

The deformation theory of affine cones over polarized projective varieties, initiated by Pinkham and further developed by Schlessinger and Wahl, is central to the study of singularities and graded deformation functors. For a projective…

In this survey, we review part of the theory of superisolated surface singularities (SIS) and its applications including some new and recent developments. The class of SIS singularities is, in some sense, the simplest class of germs of…

We investigate the correspondence between three theories of deformations of rational surface singularities: de Jong and van Straten's picture deformations, Koll\'ar's P-resolutions, and Pinkham's smoothings of negative weights. We provide…

We compute the $\delta$-invariant of a curve singularity parameterized by generic sparse polynomials. We apply this to describe topological types of generic singularities of sparse resultants and ``algebraic knot diagrams'' (i.e. generic…

We prove a formula for the polar degree of projective hypersurfaces in terms of the Milnor data of the singularities, extending to 1-dimensional singularities the Dimca-Papadima result for isolated singularities. We discuss the…

This paper addresses a very classical topic that goes back at least to Pl\"ucker: how to understand a plane curve singularity using its polar curves. Here, we explicitly construct the singular points of a plane curve singularity directly…

A polar hypersurface P of a complex analytic hypersurface germ, f=0, can be investigated by analyzing the invariance of certain Newton polyhedra associated to the image of P, with respect to suitable coordinates, by certain morphisms…

The sandwiched surface singularities are those rational surface singularities which dominate birationally smooth surface singularities. de Jong and van Straten showed that one can reduce the study of the deformations of a sandwiched surface…

We prove that the topological type of a normal surface singularity $(X,0)$ provides finite bounds for the multiplicity and polar multiplicity of $(X,0)$, as well as for the combinatorics of the families of generic hyperplane sections and of…

We study curve singularities in a smooth surface relative to a smooth boundary curve. We consider the semiuniversal deformations and equisingular deformations of curves with a fixed local intersection number $w$ with the boundary, and prove…

Consider a smooth projective curve and a given embedding into projective space via a sufficiently positive line bundle. We can form the secant variety of $k$-planes through the curve. These are singular varieties, with each secant variety…

In this survey paper, we take the viewpoint of polar invariants to the local and global study of non-dicritical holomorphic foliations in dimension two and their invariant curves. It appears a characterization of second type foliations and…

We study equisingular deformation problems for curves and surfaces in algebraic families, with particular emphasis on situations where nodal behavior is no longer generic. Extending classical Severi theory, we develop deformation--theoretic…

For a local singular plane curve germ $f(X,Y)=0$ we characterize all nonsingular $\lambda\in\bbC\{X,Y\}$ such that the {\L}ojasiewicz exponent of $\grad\,f$ is not attained on the polar curve $\bJ(\lambda,f)=0$. When $f$ is not Morse we…

In this paper, we study polar quotients and \L ojasiewicz exponents of plane curve singularities, which are {\em not necessarily reduced}. We first show that the polar quotients is a topological invariant. We next prove that the \L…

We study a specific class of deformations of curve singularities: the case when the singular point splits to several ones, such that the total $\delta$ invariant is preserved. These are also known as equi-normalizable or equi-generic…

Minimal surfaces are ubiquitous in nature. Here they are considered as geometric objects that bear a deformation content. By refining the resolution of the surface deformation gradient afforded by the polar decomposition theorem, we…

Let $(S,H)$ be a general primitively polarized $K3$ surface. We prove the existence of curves in $|\mathcal O_S(nH)|$ with $A_k$-singularities and corresponding to regular points of the equisingular deformation locus. Our result is optimal…

This text presents several aspects of the theory of equisingularity of complex analytic spaces from the standpoint of Whitney conditions. The goal is to describe from the geometrical, topological, and algebraic viewpoints a canonical…
