The structure of the cut locus in dimension less than or equal to six
We will extend the infinitesimal criteria for the equisingularity (i.e. topological triviality) of deformations of germs of mappings , , to non-finitely determined germs (these occur generically outside the “nice dimensions” for Mather, even among topologically stable mappings). The failure of finite determinacy is described geometrically by the “versality discriminant”, which is the set of points where is not stable (i.e. viewed as an unfolding it is not versal). The criterion asserts that...
A smooth mapping of a smooth n-dimensional manifold L into a smooth 2n-dimensional symplectic manifold (M,ω) is called isotropic if f*ω vanishes. In the last ten years, the local theory of singularities of isotropic mappings has been rapidly developed by Arnol’d, Givental’ and several authors, while it seems that the global theory of their singularities has not been well studied except for the work of Givental’ [G1] in the case of dimension 2 (cf. [A], [Au], [I2], [I-O]). In the present paper,...
In this paper we present some formulae for topological invariants of projective complete intersection curves with isolated singularities in terms of the Milnor number, the Euler characteristic and the topological genus. We also present some conditions, involving the Milnor number and the degree of the curve, for the irreducibility of complete intersection curves.
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,...
