Let $Y$ be an $(m+1)$-dimensional irreducible smooth complex projective variety embedded in a projective space. Let $Z$ be a closed subscheme of $Y$, and $\delta$ be a positive integer such that ${ℐ}_{Z,Y}\left(\delta \right)$ is generated by global sections. Fix an integer $d\ge \delta +1$, and assume the general divisor $X\in |H^0(Y,{ℐ}_{Z,Y}\left(d\right))|$ is smooth. Denote by $H^m{(X;\mathbb{Q})}_{\perp Z}^{\mathrm{van}}$ the quotient of $H^m(X;\mathbb{Q})$ by the cohomology of $Y$ and also by the cycle classes of the irreducible components of dimension $m$ of $Z$. In the present paper we prove that the monodromy representation on $H^m{(X;\mathbb{Q})}_{\perp Z}^{\mathrm{van}}$ for the family of smooth...

To a given analytic function germ $f:({ℝ}^d,0)\to (ℝ,0)$, we associate zeta functions $Z_{f,+}$, $Z_{f,-}\in \mathbb{Z}\left[\left[T\right]\right]$, defined analogously to the motivic zeta functions of Denef and Loeser. We show that our zeta functions are rational and that they are invariants of the blow-analytic equivalence in the sense of Kuo. Then we use them together with the Fukui invariant to classify the blow-analytic equivalence classes of Brieskorn polynomials of two variables. Except special series of singularities our method classifies as well the blow-analytic...

We generalize Nakamaye’s description, via intersection theory, of the augmented base locus of a big and nef divisor on a normal pair with log-canonical singularities or, more generally, on a normal variety with non-lc locus of dimension $\le 1$. We also generalize Ein-Lazarsfeld-Mustaţă-Nakamaye-Popa’s description, in terms of valuations, of the subvarieties of the restricted base locus of a big divisor on a normal pair with klt singularities.

In this note we study deformations of a plane curve singularity (C,P) toδ(C,P) nodes. We see that for some types of singularities the method of A'Campo can be carried on using parametric equations. For such singularities we prove that deformations to δ nodes can be made within the space of curves of the same degree.

The hypersurface in ${ℂ}^3$ with an isolated quasi-homogeneous elliptic singularity of type ${\tilde{E}}_r,r=6,7,8$, has a natural Poisson structure. We show that the family of del Pezzo surfaces of the corresponding type $E_r$ provides a semiuniversal Poisson deformation of that Poisson structure. We also construct a deformation-quantization of the coordinate ring of such a del Pezzo surface. To this end, we first deform the polynomial algebra $ℂ[x_1,x_2,x_3]$ to a noncommutative algebra with generators $x_1,x_2,x_3$ and the following 3 relations labelled...
