restricting the "Whitney" map
$\newcommand\R{\mathbb R}$Suppose $f:\R^2 \to \R^2$ is a Whitney map with singularities (well, I'm not sure if this is the name for it, Whitney calls them excellent maps in his 1955 paper), i.e. it is ...

How to judge whether an orbifold is good
My own case comes from dynamic system on compact complex manifolds. To be precise, let $M$ be a compact complex 3-dimentional manifold, $W^c$ a holomorphic foliation of M with 1-dimentional uniformly ...

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 : (\...

Riemann-Hurwitz for real maps
Let $S$ be a (compact, connected) Riemann surface of genus $g$ and $f: S\to \mathbb CP^1$ be a degree $d$ meromorphic function. Then the Riemann-Hurwitz formula tells us that the number of ...

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 ${\...

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 ...

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 ...

Framed singular knots
I've recently run across what one might (and I suspect people probably do) call framed singular knots, or maybe singular ribbon knots. Regardless of the name, what I mean is the following: Let $D$ be ...

Stratification of a smooth map
So, this is an exercise. But from math.stackexchange I have been suggested to post this question here.
To find the Thom-Boardman stratification of the smooth map
$f(x,y,a,b,c,d)=x^2y+y^3+a(x^2+y^2)+...

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 ...
