Non-example for Whitney (a) stratifications
Given a $C^1$ stratification $\mathscr{S}$ of a $C^1$ manifold $M$, we write $N^\ast \mathscr{S}$ for the union of conormals to the strata. The stratification is said to be Whitney (a) if $N^\ast \...

Resolution graphs in the sense of Némethi
The following definitions are from lecture notes of Némethi. A surface singularity $(X,0)$ is defined by $$(X,0) = (\{ f_1 = \ldots = f_m=0 \}) \subset \mathbb (\mathbb{C}^n,0),$$ where $f_i : (\...

Does the link of a hypersurface singularity determine its analytic type?
Consider a hypersurface $V(f) \subseteq \mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ with an isolated singularity at the origin. If $L := V(f) \cap S^{2n+1}_\epsilon$ is the link of $V(f)$ (with $S^{2n+1}_\epsilon$ a ...

Good covers on complex algebraic varieties with normal crossings singularities
Let $X$ be a topological space. A good cover on $X$ is an open cover such that all finite non-empty intersections are contractible. It is a theorem of Hironaka that (complex) algebraic sets admit ...

Relation between Milnor ring and middle dimensional homology of hypersurface
I have suspected that the following is well-known:
If $P$ is a homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$ in $n$ variables (for example, Fermat quintic $x_1^5 + \cdots + x_5^5$). The Milnor ring is ${\...

Small neighborhoods of singularities on varieties
In Singular points of complex hypersurfaces, John Milnor proves the following theorem:
Let $x \in V$ be a point on a variety $V$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ or $\mathbb{C}^n$. Assume $x$ is either a smooth ...
