Du Bois invariants of isolated complete intersection singularities

Joseph H. M. Steenbrink (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We define Du Bois invariants for isolated singularities of complex spaces. We relate them to the Hodge numbers of the local and vanishing cohomology groups. Our main results express the Tjurina number of certain Gorenstein singularities in terms of Du Bois invariants and Hodge numbers of the link, and express the Hodge numbers of the Milnor fibre of certain three-dimensional complete intersections in similar terms. We also address the question of the semicontinuity of the Du Bois invariants under...

Explicit bounds for the Łojasiewicz exponent in the gradient inequality for polynomials

Didier D'Acunto, Krzysztof Kurdyka (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let f: ℝⁿ → ℝ be a polynomial function of degree d with f(0) = 0 and ∇f(0) = 0. Łojasiewicz’s gradient inequality states that there exist C > 0 and ϱ ∈ (0,1) such that | f | C | f | ϱ in a neighbourhood of the origin. We prove that the smallest such exponent ϱ is not greater than 1 - R ( n , d ) - 1 with R ( n , d ) = d ( 3 d - 3 ) n - 1 .

Front d'onde et propagation des singularités pour un vecteur-distribution

Dominique Manchon (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We define the wave front set of a distribution vector of a unitary representation in terms of pseudo-differential-like operators [M2] for any real Lie group G. This refines the notion of wave front set of a representation introduced by R. Howe [Hw]. We give as an application a necessary condition so that a distribution vector remains a distribution vector for the restriction of the representation to a closed subgroup H, and we give a propagation of singularities theorem for distribution vectors.
