Reference request: Automorphisms of $\mathbb C\{x,y\}$ which preserve the equation of the cusp, $x^3 - y^2$

In my research I encountered automorphisms of the ring of convergent power series $$\varphi: \mathbb C\{x,y\} \to \mathbb C\{x,y\},$$ which preserve $f = x^3 - y^2$, i.e. $\varphi(f) = f$. I'm ...

Reference for flatness in complex-analytic geometry

What is a good reference for flat morphisms of complex-analytic spaces? (The book by Grauert and Remmert doesn't treat them). Topics I'm interested in: openness of flat maps, descent for coherent ...

Solution to algebraic equations over $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{C}[x]$

$t^n=a$, we get one solution to the equation: $$t=e^{\frac{1}{n}\int^a_1 \frac{1}{x}}$$ generalizing this result by replacing the exponential with an elliptic modular function and the integral with ...
