Section 3 of Atiyah's "On analytic surfaces with double points" — some questions
I have some questions about section 3 of Atiyah's "On analytic surfaces with double points," a short 9 page paper. Section 3 is all dedicated to proving lemma 4.
Near the end of section 3, ...

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 ...

Is any singularity a subgerm of $(\mathbb{C}^n, 0)$?
I am studying singularity theory. I have often come across, in the literature, the sentence which says "let $(X,0) \subset (\mathbb{C}^n,0)$ be a singularity". Here a singularity is a ...

Cohomology of real analytic coherent sheaves
Let $M$ be a real analytic variety
(if someone is concerned about distinction between
"real analytic spaces" and "real analytic varieties"
in real analytic geometry, let's assume that $M$
is both "...

Equations needed to define a normal complex surface singularity
This questions is highly related with this other question of mine: Irreducible surface singularity that is not a local set-theoretical complete intersection I just thought that a different look at the ...

Action of the monodromy on the cycle made of the real points
Let $f : \Bbb C^n \to \Bbb C$ be a polynomial function with real coefficients.
Let $X_t = f^{-1}(t)$ denote the fiber above some $t \in \Bbb C$. Let assume that the set of real points of $X_t$, for $t ...

Implicit Function Theorem on Singular Varieties
Let $X$ and $Y$ be two complex reduced affine algebraic or analytic varieties, possibly singular. Take a regular proper function
$$f\colon X \to Y $$
and assume that it is bijective at the level of $...

A condition on isolated singularity
Suppose $F: {\mathbb C}^N \to {\mathbb C}$ defines a singularity at the origin (for simplicity one can assume that $F$ is a quasi-homogeneous polynomial). Suppose it is nondegenerate, i.e., $dF(z) = 0$...

Normal form for a holomorphic Morse function
Similarly to Morse lemma, a holomorphic Morse function can be written, near a critical point, as $W_1^2+W_2^2+...+W_n^2+C$ , for well chosen coordinates $W_1,W_2,...,W_n$. I want to cite this result ...

Is it obvious that the defining conditions to obtain a particular singularity are well-defined on the quotient space?
Let $~f:\mathbb{C}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be a holomorphic function
vanishing at the origin, with
the following properties:
$$ f_{00}, ~f_{10}, ~f_{01}, ~f_{20}, ~f_{11} =0,~~f_{20} \neq 0 \...

Finite construction of lacunary functions using algebraic and certain analytic operations
Algebraic functions have a discrete set of singularities. Lacunary functions, e.g. $f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{2^n}$, have a continuum of singularities at every point of the boundary of their disk of ...

Brieskorn's proof of a theorem by Milnor about the Milnor number
I am looking for a reference or short explanation of a proof by E. Brieskorn.
In his famous work "Singularities of complex hypersurfaces" Milnor proves that the (nowadays called) Milnor Number (in ...

The link of a singular quintic hypersurface in CP^4
Given a family of quintic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{CP}^4$ by
$x_1^5+x_2^5+x_3^5+x_4^5+x_5^5+(5+\epsilon)x_1x_2x_3x_4x_5$
we get a singular variety for $\epsilon=0$ with 125 singular points.
I know ...
