چکیده
In this paper, we discuss on the recognition problem of Ak-type singularities on wave fronts. We give computable and simple criteria of these singularities, which will play a fundamental role to generalize the authors’ previous work “the geometry of fronts” for surfaces. The crucial point to prove our criteria for Ak-singularities is to introduce a suitable parametrization of the singularities called the “k-th KRSUY-coordinates” (see Section 3). Using them, we can directly construct a versal unfolding for a given singularity. As an application, we prove that a given nondegenerate singular point p on a real (resp. complex) hypersurface (as a wave front) in R (resp. C) is differentiable (resp. holomorphic) right-left equivalent to the Ak+1-type singular point if and only if the linear projection of the singular set around p into a generic hyperplane R (resp. C) is right-left equivalent to the Ak-type singular point in R (resp. C). Moreover, we show that the restriction of a C∞-map f : R → R into its Morin singular set gives a wave front consists of only Ak-type singularities. Furthermore, we shall give a relationship between the normal curvature map and the zig-zag numbers (the Maslov indices) of wave fronts.

This paper describes how to compute equations of plane models of minimal Du Val double planes of general type with pg = q = 1 and K = 2, . . . , 8. A double plane with K = 8 having bicanonical map not composed with the associated involution is also constructed. The computations are done using the algebra system Magma. 2000 Mathematics Classification: 14J29, 14Q05.

The purpose of this article is to review some recent results on the geometry of neutral signature metrics in dimension four and their twistor spaces. The following topics are considered: Neutral Kähler and hyperkähler surfaces, Walker metrics, Neutral anti-self-dual 4-manifolds and projective structures, Twistor spaces of neutral metrics.

We prove that the orbifold quantum ring is preserved under singular symplectic flops. Hence we verify Ruan’s conjecture for this case.
