چکیده

The study of the geometry of non-isolated hypersurface singularities was begun by Siersma and his students ([11],[12],[9],[10]). The basic examples of such functions defining these singularities are the A(d) singularities and the D(q, p) singularities. The A(d) singularities, up to analytic equivalence, are the product of a Morse function and the zero map, while the simplest D(q, p) singularity is the Whitney umbrella. These are the basic examples, because they correspond to stable germs of functions in the study of germs of functions with isolated singularities. Given a germ of a function which defines a non-isolated hypersurface singularity at the origin, which in the appropriate sense, has finite codimension in the set of such germs, the singularity type of such germs away from the origin is A(d) or D(q, p). However, some of the basic invariants of the germs of type D(q, p) have not been calculated yet. In this note we calculate the homotopy type of the Milnor fiber of germs of type D(q, p), as well as their Lê numbers. The calculation of the Lê numbers involves the use of an incidence variety which may be useful for studying germs of finite codimension. The calculation shows that the set of symmetric matrices of kernel rank 1 is an example of a hypersurface singularity with a Whitney stratification (given by the rank of the matrices) in which only one singular stratum gives a component of top dimension of the singular set of the conormal.

Stringy Zeta Functions for Q–gorenstein Varieties

The stringy Euler number and stringy E–function are interesting invariants of log terminal singularities, introduced by Batyrev. He used them to formulate a topological mirror symmetry test for pairs of certain Calabi–Yau varieties, and to show a version of the McKay correspondence. It is a natural question whether one can extend these invariants beyond the log terminal case. Assuming the Minim...

On the real quadratic fields with certain continued fraction expansions and fundamental units

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the real quadratic number fields $Q(sqrt{d})$ which contain the specific form of the continued fractions expansions of integral basis element  where $dequiv 2,3( mod  4)$ is a square free positive integer. Besides, the present paper deals with determining the fundamental unit$$epsilon _{d}=left(t_d+u_dsqrt{d}right) 2left.right > 1$$and  $n_d$ and $m_d...

Alternative Invariants for the Embedded Resolution of Purely Inseparable Surface Singularities

We propose two local invariants for the inductive proof of the embedded resolution of purely inseparable surface singularities of order equal to the characteristic. The invariants are built on an detailed analysis of the so called kangaroo phenomenon in positive characteristic. They thus measure accurately the algebraic complexity of an equation defining a surface singularity in characteristic ...
