Smooth structures on algebraic surfaces with finite fundamental group.
Define for a smooth compact hypersurface of its crumpleness as the ratio , where is the distance from to its central set. (In other words, is the maximal radius of an open non-selfintersecting tube around in We prove that any -dimensional non-singular compact algebraic hypersurface of degree is rigidly isotopic to an algebraic hypersurface of degree and of crumpleness . Here , depend only on , and rigid isotopy means an isotopy passing only through hypersurfaces of degree...
In this survey, we present recent techniques on the theory of harmonic integrals to study the cohomology groups of the adjoint bundle with the multiplier ideal sheaf of singular metrics. As an application, we give an analytic version of the injectivity theorem.
For a holomorphic function on a complex manifold, we show that the vanishing cohomology of lower degree at a point is determined by that for the points near it, using the perversity of the vanishing cycle complex. We calculate this order of vanishing explicitly in the case the hypersurface has simple normal crossings outside the point. We also give some applications to the size of Jordan blocks for monodromy.
