Factorization of Birational Morphisms with Fiber Dimension Bounded by 1.
Following the study of the arc structure of singularities, initiated by J. Nash, we give criteria for the existence of smooth curves on a surface singularity (S,O) and of smooth branches of its generic hypersurface section. The main applications are the following: the existence of a natural partition of the set of smooth curves on (S,O) into families, a description of each of them by means of chains of infinitely near points and their associated maximal cycle and the existence of smooth curves on...
Soit un corps de caractéristique nulle, un polynôme de Laurent en variables, à coefficients dans et non dégénéré pour son polyèdre de Newton à l’infini. Soit fonctions non constantes à variables séparées et définies sur des variétés lisses. A la manière de Guibert, Loeser et Merle, dans le cas local, nous calculons dans cet article, la fibre de Milnor motivique à l’infini de la composée en termes du polyèdre de Newton à l’infini de . Pour égal à la somme nous obtenons une formule...
We study equivariant deformations of singular curves with an action of a finite flat group scheme, using a simplified version of Illusie's equivariant cotangent complex. We apply these methods in a special case which is relevant for the study of the stable reduction of three point covers.
A primitive multiple curve is a Cohen-Macaulay irreducible projective curve Y that can be locally embedded in a smooth surface, and such that Y red is smooth. We study the deformations of Y to curves with smooth irreducible components, when the number of components is maximal (it is then the multiplicity n of Y). We are particularly interested in deformations to n disjoint smooth irreducible components, which are called fragmented deformations. We describe them completely. We give also a characterization...
