Tête-à-tête graphs and relative tête-à-tête graphs were introduced by N. A’Campo in 2010 to model monodromies of isolated plane curves. By recent work of Fdez de Bobadilla, Pe Pereira and the author, they provide a way ...

In this paper we explore the generalized Nash problem for arcs on a germ of smooth surface: given two prime divisors above its special point, to determine whether the arc space of one of them is included in the arc space ...

The Alexander polynomial of a plane curve is an important invariant in global theories on curves. However, it seems that this invariant and even a much stronger one the fundamental group of the complement of a plane curve ...

Given an algebraic variety X defined over an algebraically closed field, we study the space RZ(X,x) consisting of all the valuations of the function field of X which are centered in a closed point x of X. We concentrate ...

In this note, using Cluckers-Loeser’s theory of motivic integration, we prove the integral identity conjecture with framework a localized Grothendieck ring of varieties over an arbitrary base field of characteristic zero.

The problem of classification of real and complex singularities was initiated by Arnol'd in the sixties who classified simple, unimodal and bimodal singularities w.r.t. right equivalence. The classification of simple ...

We use tête-à-tête graphs as defined by N. A'campo and extended versions to codify all periodic mapping classes of an orientable surface with non-empty boundary, improving work of N. A'Campo and C. Graf. We also introduce ...

The purpose of this article is to investigate the intersection cohomology for algebraic varieties with torus action. Given an algebraic torus T, one of our result determines the intersection cohomology Betti numbers of ...

We construct a non-normal affine monoid together with its modules associated with a negative definite plumbed 3-manifold M. In terms of their structure, we describe the $H_1(M,\mathbb{Z})$-equivariant parts of the topological ...

We introduce a new notion of $\boxast$-product of two integrable series with coefficients in distinct Grothendieck rings of algebraic varieties, preserving the integrability of and commuting with the limit of rational ...
