The Lefschetz number of an involution on the space of classes of positive definite quadratic forms.
Let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic . We study obstructions to lifting to characteristic the faithful continuous action of a finite group on . To each such a theorem of Katz and Gabber associates an action of on a smooth projective curve over . We say that the KGB obstruction of vanishes if acts on a smooth projective curve in characteristic in such a way that and have the same genus for all subgroups . We determine for which the KGB obstruction...
This paper shows the affirmative answer to the local Nash problem for a toric singularity and analytically pretoric singularity. As a corollary we obtain the affirmative answer to the local Nash problem for a quasi-ordinary singularity.
We prove that the study of the Łojasiewicz exponent at infinity of overdetermined polynomial mappings , m > n, can be reduced to the one when m = n.
Some estimates of the Łojasiewicz gradient exponent at infinity near any fibre of a polynomial in two variables are given. An important point in the proofs is a new Charzyński-Kozłowski-Smale estimate of critical values of a polynomial in one variable.
For every holomorphic function in two complex variables with an isolated critical point at the origin we consider the Łojasiewicz exponent ₀(f) defined to be the smallest θ > 0 such that near 0 ∈ ℂ² for some c > 0. We investigate the set of all numbers ₀(f) where f runs over all holomorphic functions with an isolated critical point at 0 ∈ ℂ².
