We give the Thom polynomials for the singularities $I_{2,2}$ associated with maps $({\bf C}^{\bullet},0) \to ({\bf C}^{\bullet+k},0)$ with parameter $k\ge 0$. Our computations combine the characterization of Thom polynomials via the…
Combining the "method of restriction equations" of Rim\'anyi et al. with the techniques of symmetric functions, we establish the Schur function expansions of the Thom polynomials for the Morin singularities $A_3: ({\bf C}^{\bullet},0)\to…
We develop algebro-combinatorial tools for computing the Thom polynomials for the Morin singularities $A_i(-)$ ($i\ge 0$). The main tool is the function $F^{(i)}_r$ defined as a combination of Schur functions with certain numerical…
We discuss computations of the Thom polynomials of singularity classes of maps in the basis of Schur functions. We survey the known results about the bound on the length and a rectangle containment for partitions appearing in such Schur…
We generalize the notion of Thom polynomials from singularities of maps between two complex manifolds to invariant cones in representations, and collections of vector bundles. We prove that the generalized Thom polynomials, expanded in the…
Thom (residual) polynomials in characteristic classes are used in the analysis of geometry of functional spaces. They serve as a tool in description of classes Poincar\'e dual to subvarieties of functions of prescribed types. We give…
Thom polynomials measure how global topology forces singularities. The power of Thom polynomials predestine them to be a useful tool not only in differential topology, but also in algebraic geometry (enumerative geometry, moduli spaces) and…
In this paper we derive closed formulas for the Thom polynomials of two families of second order Thom-Boardman singularities \Sigma^{i,j}. The formulas are given as linear combinations of Schur polynomials, and all coefficients are…
Thom polynomials are universal cohomological obstructions to the appearance of singularities of given types in differentiable maps. As an application, various invariants of immersions have been expressed in terms of singularities of their…
In this paper we propose a systematic study of Thom polynomials for group actions defined by M. Kazarian. On one hand we show that Thom polynomials are first obstructions for the existence of a section and are connected to several problems…
We study universal polynomials of characteristic classes associated to the $\mathcal{A}$-classification (i.e. up to right-left equivalence) of holomorphic map-germs $(\mathbb{C}^2,0) \to (\mathbb{C}^n, 0)$ $(n=2,3)$. That enables us to…
Combining the Kazarian approach to Thom polynomials via classifying spaces of singularities with the Fulton-Lazarsfeld theory of numerical positivity for ample vector bundles, we show that the coefficients of various Schur function…
Thom polynomials provide universal formulas for the fundamental class of singularity loci in terms of characteristic classes. Ohmoto extended this notion to SSM-Thom polynomials, which refine this description by capturing the richer…
This is a gentle introduction to a general theory of universal polynomials associated to classification of map-germs, called Thom polynomials. The theory was originated by Ren\'e Thom in the 1950s and has since been evolved in various…
The Thom polynomial of a singularity $\eta$ expresses the cohomology class of the $\eta$-singularity locus of a map in terms of the map's simple invariants. In this informal survey -- based on two lectures given at the Isaac Newton…
We prove a formula for Thom polynomials of Morin (or A_d) singularities in any codimension. We use a combination of the test-curve method of Porteous, and the localization methods in equivariant cohomology. Our formulas are independent of…
We introduce a class of Schur type functions associated with polynomial sequences of binomial type. This can be regarded as a generalization of the ordinary Schur functions and the factorial Schur functions. This generalization satisfies…
Restricted Schur polynomials have been posited as orthonormal operators for the change of basis from N=4 SYM to type IIB string theory [1,2,3,4]. In this letter we briefly expound the relationship found between the restricted Schurs and the…
A set of functions is introduced which generalizes the famous Schur polynomials and their connection to Grasmannian manifolds. These functions are shown to provide a new method of constructing solutions to the KP hierarchy of nonlinear…
We argue that restricted Schur polynomials provide a useful parameterization of the complete set of gauge invariant variables of multi-matrix models. The two point functions of restricted Schur polynomials are evaluated exactly in the free…
