Abstract
The Thom polynomial of a singularity $\eta$ expresses the cohomology class of
the $\eta$-singularity locus of a map in terms of the map's simple invariants.
In this informal survey -- based on two lectures given at the Isaac Newton
Institute in 2024 -- we explore various Thom polynomial concepts with examples.
奇点$\eta$的托姆多项式(Thom polynomial of a singularity $\eta$)用映射的简单不变式表达了映射的奇点位置的同调类。在这个非正式的调查中--基于2024年在艾萨克-牛顿研究所(Isaac NewtonInstitute)的两次讲座--我们用实例探讨了各种托姆多项式的概念。
