Let (S,0) be a germ of complex analytic normal surface. On its minimal resolution, we consider the reduced exceptional divisor E and its irreducible components E_i. The Nash map associates to each irreducible component C_k of the space of…
Let $(X,O)$ be a germ of a normal surface singularity, $\pi : \tilde X\longrightarrow X$ be the minimal resolution of singularities and let $A=(a_{i,j})$ be the $n\times n$ symmetrical intersection matrix of the exceptional set of $\tilde…
We introduce a higher-order version of the tangent map of a morphism and find a matrix representation. We then apply this matrix to solve a conjecture by T. Yasuda regarding the semigroup of the higher Nash blowup of formal curves. We first…
We introduce a natural generalization of twisted maps, called \emph{warped maps}. While twisted maps play an important role in the study of Deligne--Mumford stacks, warped maps are better suited for studying Artin stacks. Heuristically,…
A theorem of Functorial Affinization of Nash's manifold is proven here giving necessary and sufficient conditions to lift a holomorphic arc to the smooth locus of the Nash manifold. In addition a theorem about valuations is proven.
In this paper we give a positive answer to a question of Nash concerning the arc space of a singularity, for the class of quasi-ordinary hypersurface singularities, extending to this case previous results and techniques of Shihoko Ishii.
We study Nash valuations and essential valuations of terminal threefolds of type $cA/r$. If $r=1$ or the given threefold is $\mathbb Q$-factorial, then all the Nash valuations and essential valuations can be completely described. We…
In this paper we explore the generalized Nash problem for arcs on a germ of smooth surface: given two prime divisors above its special point, to determine whether the arc space of one of them is included in the arc space of the other one.…
We introduce two new notions of stratifications in valued fields: t$^2$-stratifications and arc-wise analytic t-stratifications. We show the existence of arc-wise analytic t-stratifications in algebraically closed valued fields with…
A study of the relation between a noetherian local domain with a given valuation and its associated graded ring with respect to the valuation, which in some cases is an esentially toric variety, possibly of infinite embedding dimension, but…
One distinguishing feature of rational curves is that they have algebraic parameterizations. Arc spaces are a way of describing approximations to parameterizations of all curves in some fixed space. Playing on these descriptions, this paper…
This paper is a survey on arc spaces, a recent topic in algebraic geometry and singularity theory. The geometry of the arc space of an algebraic variety yields several new geometric invariants and brings new light to some classical…
This paper deals with the Nash problem, which claims that there are as many families of arcs on a singular germ of surface $U$ as there are essential components of the exceptional divisor in the desingularisation of this singularity. Let…
We survey the proof of the Nash conjecture for surfaces and show how geometric and topological ideas developed in previous articles by the authors influenced it. Later we summarize the main ideas in the higher dimensional statement and…
We provide new examples of integrable rational maps in four dimensions with two rational invariants, which have unexpected geometric properties, as for example orbits confined to non algebraic varieties, and fall outside classes studied by…
We study the space of arcs on a singularity of the form xy=f(z_1,..., z_n) and prove 2 main results. (i) The number of irreducible components equals the multiplicity of f minus 1. (ii) If n>1 and the leading homogeneous term of f is not a…
It has been recently shown that the iteration of Nash modification on not necessarily normal toric varieties corresponds to a purely combinatorial algorithm on the generators of the semigroup associated to the toric variety. We will show…
We investigate Gauss maps of (not necessarily normal) projective toric varieties over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. The main results are as follows: (1) The structure of the Gauss map of a toric variety is…
We study the arc space of the Grassmannian from the point of view of the singularities of Schubert varieties. Our main tool is a decomposition of the arc space of the Grassmannian that resembles the Schubert cell decomposition of the…
Families of jets through singularities of algebraic varieties are here studied in relation to the families of arcs originally studied by Nash. After proving a general result relating them, we look at normal locally complete intersection…
