For a given topological type of a normal surface singularity, there are various types of complex structures which realize it. We are interested in the following problem: Find the maximum of the geometric genus and a condition for that the maximal ideal cycle coincides with the undamental cycle on the minimal good resolution. In this paper, we study weighted homogeneous surface singularities homeomorphic to Brieskorn complete intersection singularities from the perspective of the problem.

The middle homology of the Milnor fiber of a quasihomogeneous polynomial with an isolated singularity is a ${mathbb Z}$-lattice and comes equipped with an automorphism of finite order, the integral monodromy. Orlik (1972) made a precise conjecture, which would determine this monodromy in terms of the weights of the polynomial. Here we prove this conjecture for the cycle type singularities. A paper of Cooper (1982) with the same aim contained two mistakes. Still it is very useful. We build on it and correct the mistakes. We give additional algebraic and combinatorial results.

We consider the question whether one can construct an embedded resolution of singularities of a singular variety $Xsubset textbf{A}^n$ from the data of the irreducible components of the spaces of jets (of $X$) centered at the singular locus of $X.$ We show that the answer is no in general and that it is yes for some birational models of rational triple surface singularities.

In this article we introduce new affinely invariant points---`special parabolic points'---on the parabolic set of a generic surface $M$ in real 4-space, associated with symmetries in the 2-parameter family of reflexions of $M$ in points of itself. The parabolic set itself is detected in this way, and each arc is given a sign, which changes at the special points, where the family has an additional degree of symmetry. Other points of $M$ which are detected by the family of reflexions include inflexion points of real and imaginary type, and the first of these is also associated with sign changes on the parabolic set. We show how to compute the special points globally for the case where $M$ is given in Monge form and give some examples illustrating the birth of special parbolic points in a 1-parameter family of surfaces. The tool we use from singularity theory is the contact classification of certain symmetric maps from the plane to the plane and we give the beginning of this classification, including versal unfoldings which we relate to the geometry of $M$.

For a smooth surface in $mathbb{R}^3$ this article contains local study of certain affine equidistants, that is loci of points at a fixed ratio between points of contact of parallel tangent planes (but excluding ratios 0 and 1 where the equidistant contains one or other point of contact). The situation studied occurs generically in a 1-parameter family, where two parabolic points of the surface have parallel tangent planes at which the unique asymptotic directions are also parallel. The singularities are classified by regarding the equidistants as critical values of a 2-parameter unfolding of maps from $mathbb{R}^4$ to $mathbb{R}^3$. In particular, the singularities that occur near the so-called `supercaustic chord', joining the two special parabolic points, are classified. For a given ratio along this chord either one or three special points are identified at which singularities of the equidistant become more special. Many of the resulting singularities have occurred before in the literature in abstract classifications, so the article also provides a natural geometric setting for these singularities, relating back to the geometry of the surfaces from which they are derived.

. We give a counterexample to a conjecture of Eyral on the existence of deformation retracts to intersections of Whitney stratifications embedded in a smooth manifold. We then prove that the conjecture holds if the stratifications are definable in some o-minimal structure without assuming any regularity conditions. Moreover, we also show that the conjecture holds for Whitney stratifications if they intersect transversally.

For a C ∞ stable map f : M → R 2 , denote by c ( f ) and n ( f ), i ( f ) the number of cusps and nodes, connected components of the set of singular points respectively. In this paper, we introduce the notion of admissibly homotopic among C ∞ maps M → R 2 , and we will determine the minimal number c + n for each admissibly homotopy class.
