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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Let $v$ be a holomorphic vector field defined in a neighbourhood of $0$ on $\mathbb C^n$ with an isolated zero at $0$. Let $\sum_{i,j}{a_{ij}}z_i\frac{\partial}{\partial z_j}$ be the linear term of $...

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 $...
