2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14B05, 32S25.The smooth equimultiple locus of embedded algebroid surfaces appears naturally in many resolution processes, both classical and modern. In this paper we explore how it changes by blowing–up.* Supported by FQM 304 and BFM 2000–1523. ** Supported by FQM 218 and BFM 2001–3207.
Locally analytically, any isolated double point occurs as a double cover of a smooth surface. It can be desingularized explicitly via the canonical resolution, as it is very well-known. In this paper we explicitly compute the fundamental cycle of both the canonical and minimal resolution of a double point singularity and we classify those for which the fundamental cycle differs from the fiber cycle. Moreover we compute the conditions that a double point singularity imposes to pluricanonical systems....
Soient un corps valué et est une extension monogène finie de définie par , alors toute valuation de qui prolonge définit une pseudo-valuation de de noyau l’idéal . Nous savons associer à une famille de valuations de , appelée famille admissible, construite de façon explicite à partir de valuations augmentées et de valuations augmentées limites.Nous donnons une condition nécessaire et suffisante pour qu’une valuation de appartienne à la famille admissible associée à une pseudo-valuation...
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...
Suppose that is a local domain essentially of finite type over a field of characteristic , and a valuation of the quotient field of which dominates . The rank of such a valuation often increases upon extending the valuation to a valuation dominating , the completion of . When the rank of is , Cutkosky and Ghezzi handle this phenomenon by resolving the prime ideal of infinite value, but give an example showing that when the rank is greater than , there is no natural ideal in that...
Il y a quelques années, Florian Pop a démontré que tout corps de type fini sur le corps premier est déterminé à isomorphisme près par son groupe de Galois absolu (quitte à passer à une extension purement inséparable en caractéristique positive). Ce théorème, dont la généalogie remonte à des travaux de Neukirch sur les groupes de Galois de corps de nombres au début des années 1970, répond positivement à la “conjecture anabélienne birationnelle”de A. Grothendieck formulée en 1983. Dans un travail...
We attach a limit mixed Hodge structure to any polynomial map . The equivariant Hodge numbers of this mixed Hodge structure are invariants of which reflect its asymptotic behaviour. We compute them for a generic class of polynomials in terms of equivariant Hodge numbers attached to isolated hypersurface singularities and equivariant Hodge numbers of cyclic coverings of projective space branched along a hypersurface. We show how these invariants allow to determine topological invariants of such...
