Defects of Cusp Singularities.
Given a cohomology class there is a smooth submanifold Poincaré dual to . A special class of such embeddings is characterized by topological properties which hold for nonsingular algebraic hypersurfaces in . This note summarizes some results on the question: how does the divisibility of restrict the dual submanifolds in this class ? A formula for signatures associated with a -fold ramified cover of branched along is given and a proof is included in case .
