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