Positivity of Thom polynomials II: the Lagrange singularities

Małgorzata Mikosz, Piotr Pragacz, Andrzej Weber (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study Thom polynomials associated with Lagrange singularities. We expand them in the basis of Q̃-functions. This basis plays a key role in the Schubert calculus of isotropic Grassmannians. We prove that the Q̃-function expansions of the Thom polynomials of Lagrange singularities always have nonnegative coefficients. This is an analog of a result on the Thom polynomials of mapping singularities and Schur S-functions, established formerly by the last two authors.

On Thom Polynomials for A4(−) via Schur Functions

Öztürk, Özer (2007)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05E05, 14N10, 57R45. We study the structure of the Thom polynomials for A4(−) singularities. We analyze the Schur function expansions of these polynomials. We show that partitions indexing the Schur function expansions of Thom polynomials for A4(−) singularities have at most four parts. We simplify the system of equations that determines these polynomials and give a recursive description of Thom polynomials for A4(−) singularities....

Some quantitative results in singularity theory

Y. Yomdin (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

The classical singularity theory deals with singularities of various mathematical objects: curves and surfaces, mappings, solutions of differential equations, etc. In particular, singularity theory treats the tasks of recognition, description and classification of singularities in each of these cases. In many applications of singularity theory it is important to sharpen its basic results, making them "quantitative", i.e. providing explicit and effectively computable estimates for all...

Positivity of Schur function expansions of Thom polynomials

Piotr Pragacz, Andrzej Weber (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Combining the approach to Thom polynomials via classifying spaces of singularities with the Fulton-Lazarsfeld theory of cone classes and positive polynomials for ample vector bundles, we show that the coefficients of the Schur function expansions of the Thom polynomials of stable singularities are nonnegative with positive sum.

The jump of the Milnor number in the X 9 singularity class

Szymon Brzostowski, Tadeusz Krasiński (2014)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

The jump of the Milnor number of an isolated singularity f 0 is the minimal non-zero difference between the Milnor numbers of f 0 and one of its deformations (f s). We prove that for the singularities in the X 9 singularity class their jumps are equal to 2.
