Théorèmes de Lefschetz pour les lieux de dégénérescence
We describe three-dimensional terminal toric flips. We obtain the complete local description of three-dimensional terminal toric flips.
We obtain algebraic and geometric conditions for the topological triviality of versal unfoldings of weighted homogeneous complete intersections along subspaces corresponding to deformations of maximal weight. These results are applied: to infinite families of surface singularities in which begin with the exceptional unimodular singularities, to the intersection of pairs of generic quadrics, and to certain curve singularities.The algebraic conditions are related to the operation of adjoining powers,...
These lecture notes survey and compare various compactifications of complex hyperplane arrangement complements. In particular, we review the Gelfand-MacPherson construction, Kapranov’s visible contours compactification, and De Concini and Procesi’s wonderful compactification. We explain how these constructions are unified by some ideas from the modern origins of tropical geometry.
We build two embedded resolution procedures of a quasi-ordinary singularity of complex analytic hypersurface, by using toric morphisms which depend only on the characteristic monomials associated to a quasi-ordinary projection of the singularity. This result answers an open problem of Lipman in Equisingularity and simultaneous resolution of singularities, Resolution of Singularities, Progress in Mathematics No. 181, 2000, 485- 503. In the first procedure the singularity is...
