Quadratic forms and singularities of genus one or two
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...
