Fine polar invariants of minimal singularities of surface

This survey may be seen as an introduction to the use of toric and tropical geometry in the analysis of plane curve singularities, which are germs $(C,o)$ of complex analytic curves contained in a smooth complex analytic surface $S$. The embedded topological type of such a pair $(S, C)$ is usually defined to be that of the oriented link obtained by intersecting $C$ with a sufficiently small oriented Euclidean sphere centered at the point $o$, defined once a system of local co...

This is the paper as published. The topology of a complex plane curve singularity with real branches is deduced from any real deformation having delta crossings. An example of the computation of the global geometric monodromy of a polynomial mapping is added.

In this article, we compute $\delta$-invariant of Du Val del Pezzo surfaces of degree $\ge 4$.

In this paper we give complete analytic invariants for germs of holomorphic foliations in $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ that become regular after a single blow-up. Some of them describe the holonomy pseudogroup of the germ and are called transverse invariants. The other invariants lie in finite dimensional complex vector space. Such singularities admit separatrices tangent to any direction at the origin. When enough separatrices coincide with their tangent directions (a condition that c...

The polar curves of foliations $\mathcal F$ having a curve $C$ of separatrices generalize the classical polar curves associated to hamiltonian foliations of $C$. As in the classical theory, the equisingularity type ${\wp}({\mathcal F})$ of a generic polar curve depends on the analytical type of ${\mathcal F}$, and hence of $C$. In this paper we find the equisingularity types $\epsilon (C)$ of $C$, that we call kind singularities, such that ${\wp}({\mathcal F})$ is completely ...

Let $\mathcal S\to\mathbb A^1$ be a smooth family of surfaces whose general fibre is a smooth surface of $\mathbb P^3$ and whose special fibre has two smooth components, intersecting transversally along a smooth curve $R$. We consider the Universal Severi-Enriques variety $\mathcal V$ on $\mathcal S\to\mathbb A^1$. The general fibre of $\mathcal V$ is the variety of curves on $\mathcal S_t$ in the linear system $|\mathcal O_{\mathcal S_t}(n)|$ with $k$ cusps and $\delta$ node...

Given a family of pairs of modules parametrised by a smooth space Y, the Multiplicity-Polar Theorem relates the multiplicity of the pair of modules at a special point of the parameter to the multiplicity of the pair at a generic point. This theorem is proved in this paper (Corollary 1.4). The applications of the Multiplicity-Polar theorem are of two types. In the first we construct a deformation so that we can understand the significance of the multiplicity of the pair, or ...

In the 1970s O. Zariski introduced a general theory of equisingularity for algebroid and algebraic hypersurfaces over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. His theory builds up on understanding the dimensionality type of hypersurface singularities, notion defined recursively by considering the discriminants loci of successive "generic" corank 1 projections. The theory of singularities of dimensionality type 1, that is the ones appearing generically in codimens...

We investigate the problem of existence of degenerations of surfaces in $\mathbb P^3$ with ordinary singularities into plane arrangements in general position.

In two parts, we present a bigness criterion for the cotangent bundle of resolutions of orbifold surfaces of general type. As a corollary, we obtain the \textit{canonical model singularities} (CMS) criterion that can be applied to determine when a birational class of surfaces has smooth representatives with big cotangent bundle and compare it with other known criteria. We then apply this criterion to the problem of finding the minimal degrees $d$ for which the deformation equ...
