A real morsification of a real plane curve singularity is a real deformation given by a family of real analytic functions having only real Morse critical points with all saddles on the zero level. We prove the existence of real morsifications for real plane curve singularities having arbitrary real local branches and pairs of complex conjugate branches satisfying some conditions. This was known before only in the case of all local branches being real (ACampo, Gusein-Zade). We also discuss a relation between real morsifications and the topology of singularities, extending to arbitrary real morsifications the Balke-Kaenders theorem, which states that the ACampo--Gusein-Zade diagram associated to a morsification uniquely determines the topological type of a singularity.
In his groundbreaking work on classification of singularities with regard to right and stable equivalence of germs, Arnold has listed normal forms for all isolated hypersurface singularities over the complex numbers with either modality less than or equal to two or Milnor number less than or equal to 16. Moreover, he has described an algorithmic classifier, which determines the type of a given such singularity. In the present paper, we extend Arnolds work to a large class of singularities which is unbounded with regard to modality and Milnor number. We develop an algorithmic classifier, which determines a normal form for any singularity with corank less than or equal to two which is equivalent to a germ with non-degenerate Newton boundary in the sense of Kouchnirenko. In order to realize the classifier, we prove a normal form theorem: Suppose K is a mu-constant stratum of the jet space which contains a germ with a non-degenerate Newton boundary. We first observe that all germs in K are equivalent to some germ with the same fixed non-degenerate Newton boundary. We then prove that all right-equivalence classes of germs in K can be covered by a single normal form obtained from a regular basis of an appropriately chosen special fiber. All algorithms are implemented in the library arnold.lib for the computer algebra system Singular.
Let $f$ be an isolated singularity at the origin of $mathbb{C}^n$. One of many invariants that can be associated with $f$ is its {L}ojasiewicz exponent $mathcal{L}_0 (f)$, which measures, to some extent, the topology of $f$. We give, for generic surface singularities $f$, an effective formula for $mathcal{L}_0 (f)$ in terms of the Newton polyhedron of $f$. This is a realization of one of Arnolds postulates.
In a series of papers, Aluffi and Faber computed the degree of the $GL_3$ orbit closure of an arbitrary plane curve. We attempt to generalize this to the equivariant setting by studying how orbits degenerate under some natural specializations, yielding a fairly complete picture in the case of plane quartics.
We report on the problem of the existence of complex and real algebraic curves in the plane with prescribed singularities up to analytic and topological equivalence. The question is whether, for a given positive integer $d$ and a finite number of given analytic or topological singularity types, there exist a plane (irreducible) curve of degree $d$ having singular points of the given type as its only singularities. The set of all such curves is a quasi-projective variety, which we call an equisingular family (ESF). We describe, in terms of numerical invariants of the curves and their singularities, the state of the art concerning necessary and sufficient conditions for the non-emptiness and $T$-smoothness (i.e., smooth of expected dimension) of the corresponding ESF. The considered singularities can be arbitrary, but we spend special attention to plane curves with nodes and cusps, the most studied case, where still no complete answer is known in general. An important result is, however, that the necessary and the sufficient conditions show the same asymptotics for $T$-smooth equisingular families if the degree goes to infinity.
