Isolated Singular Points on Complete Intersections
TLDR
In this paper, the authors give a coherent account of the theory of isolated singularities of complete intersections, and show that the discriminant of the semi-universal deformation of an A-D-E singularity is isomorphic to the associated Coxeter group.Abstract:
This monograph gives a coherent account of the theory of isolated singularities of complete intersections. One encounters such singularities often as the central fibres of analytic map-germs; that is why such map-germs (deformations) receive here a great deal of attention. The work treats both the topological side--including vanishing cycles and monodromy--and the analytic side--including properties of the discriminants of deformations--and explores the connections between them. It ends with a proof that the discriminant of the semi-universal deformation of an A-D-E singularity is isomorphic to the discriminant of the associated Coxeter group.read more

Introduction to Singularities and Deformations
TL;DR: In this article, the basic singularity theory of analytic spaces, including local deformation theory, and the theory of plane curve singularities, is presented from a unified point of view for the first time.

Singular Points of Plane Curves
TL;DR: Even the simplest singularities of planar curves, e.g. where the curve crosses itself, or where it forms a cusp, are best understood in terms of complex numbers.

tt* geometry, Frobenius manifolds, their connections, and the construction for singularities
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between polarized mixed Hodge structures and tt* geometry is studied, and a frame for a simultaneous construction of Frobenius manifolds and t* geometry for any hypersurface singularity is given.

Arithmetic on Singular Del Pezzo Surfaces
Daniel Coray,Michael A. Tsfasman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the notion of algebraic closure is also useful over an arbitrary perfect field k for studying the fc-birational properties of singular cubic surfaces, and of certain other singular surfaces defined below.
