We prove that the set of asymptotic critical values of a function definable in an o-minimal structure is finite, even if the structure is not polynomially bounded. As a consequence, the function is a locally trivial fibration over the complement of this set.
It is well-known that minimal compact complex surfaces with containing global spherical shells are in the class VII of Kodaira. In fact, there are no other known examples. In this paper we prove that all surfaces with global spherical shells admit a singular holomorphic foliation. The existence of a numerically anticanonical divisor is a necessary condition for the existence of a global holomorphic vector field. Conversely, given the existence of a numerically anticanonical divisor, surfaces...
We prove that a singular complex surface that admits a complete holomorphic vector field that has no invariant curve through a singular point of the surface is obtained from a Kato surface by contracting some divisor (in particular, it is compact). We also prove that, in a singular Stein surface endowed with a complete holomorphic vector field, a singular point of the surface where the zeros of the vector field do not accumulate is either a quasihomogeneous or a cyclic quotient singularity. We give...
We give criteria of finite determinacy for the volume and multiplicities. Given an analytic set described by {v = 0}, we prove that the log-analytic expansion of the volume of the intersection of the set and a "little ball" is determined by that of the set defined by the Taylor expansion of v up to a certain order if the mapping v has an isolated singularity at the origin. We also compare the cardinalities of finite fibers of projections restricted to such a set.
