Perturbing plane cruve singularities.

Eduardo Casas-Alvero, Rosa Peraire (2003)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We describe the singularity of all but finitely-many germs in a pencil generated by two germs of plane curve sharing no tangent.

Quadratic forms and singularities of genus one or two

Georges Dloussky (2011)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We study singularities obtained by the contraction of the maximal divisor in compact (non-kählerian) surfaces which contain global spherical shells. These singularities are of genus 1 or 2, may be -Gorenstein, numerically Gorenstein or Gorenstein. A family of polynomials depending on the configuration of the curves computes the discriminants of the quadratic forms of these singularities. We introduce a multiplicative branch topological invariant which determines the twisting coefficient of a non-vanishing...

Quantum Singularity Theory for A ( r - 1 ) and r -Spin Theory

Huijun Fan, Tyler Jarvis, Yongbin Ruan (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We give a review of our construction of a cohomological field theory for quasi-homogeneous singularities and the r -spin theory of Jarvis-Kimura-Vaintrob. We further prove that for a singularity W of type A our construction of the stack of W -curves is canonically isomorphic to the stack of r -spin curves described by Abramovich and Jarvis. We further prove that our theory satisfies all the Jarvis-Kimura-Vaintrob axioms for an r -spin virtual class. Therefore, the Faber-Shadrin-Zvonkine proof of the...

Rational smoothness of varieties of representations for quivers of Dynkin type

Philippe Caldero, Ralf Schiffler (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the Zariski closures of orbits of representations of quivers of type A , D ou E . With the help of Lusztig’s canonical base, we characterize the rationally smooth orbit closures and prove in particular that orbit closures are smooth if and only if they are rationally smooth.
