For an arbitrary complex algebraic variety which is not necessarily pure dimensional, the intersection complex can be defined as the direct sum of the Deligne-Goresky-Macpherson intersection complexes of each irreducible component. We give two axiomatic topological characterizations of the middle perversity direct sum intersection complex, one stratification dependent and the other stratification independent. To accomplish this, we show that this direct sum intersection complex can be constructed using Deligne's construction in the more general context of topologically stratified spaces. A consequence of these characterizations is the invariance of this direct sum intersection complex under homeomorphisms.

We study groups of germs of complex diffeomorphisms having a property called irreducibility. The notion is motivated by a similar property of the fundamental group of the complement of an irreducible hypersurface in the complex projective space. Natural examples of such groups of germ maps are given by holonomy groups and monodromy groups of integrable systems (foliations) under certain conditions on the singular or ramification set. The case of complex dimension one is studied in [7] where finiteness is proved for irreducible groups under certain arithmetic hypothesis on the linear part. In dimension $n geq 2$ the picture changes since linear groups are not always abelian in dimension two or bigger. Nevertheless, we still obtain a finiteness result under some conditions in the linear part of the group, for instance if the linear part is abelian. Examples are given illustrating the role of our hypotheses. Applications are given to the framework of holomorphic foliations and analytic deformations of rational fibrations by Riccati foliations.

We indicate two short proofs of the Goresky-MacPherson topological invariance of intersection homology. One proof is very short but requires the Goresky-MacPherson support and cosupport axioms; the other is slightly longer but does not require these axioms and so is adaptable to more general perversities.

We construct an explicit de Rham isomorphism relating the cohomology rings of Banagl's de Rham and spatial approach to intersection space cohomology for stratified pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities. Intersection space (co-)homology is a modified (co-)homology theory extending Poincare Duality to stratified pseudomanifolds. The novelty of our result compared to the de Rham isomorphism given previously by Banagl is, that we indeed have an isomorphism of rings and not just of graded vector spaces. We also provide a proof of the de Rham Theorem for cohomology rings of pairs of smooth manifolds which we use in the proof of our main result.

Recently the authors investigated the Lipschitz triviality of simple germs of matrices. In this work, we improve some previous results and we present an extension of an integral closure result for the real setting. These tools are applied to investigate classes of square matrices singularities classified by Bruce and Tari.

We discuss the appearance of chaos in time-periodic perturbations of reversible vector fields in the plane. We use the normal forms of codimension~$1$ reversible vector fields and discuss the ways a time-dependent periodic forcing term of pulse form may be added to them to yield topological chaotic behaviour. Chaos here means that the resulting dynamics is semi-conjugate to a shift in a finite alphabet. The results rely on the classification of reversible vector fields and on the theory of topological horseshoes. This work is part of a project of studying periodic forcing of symmetric vector fields.

Khimshiashvili proved a topological degree formula for the Eu-ler characteristic of the Milnor fibres of a real function-germ with an isolated singularity. We give two generalizations of this result for non-isolated singularities. As corollaries we obtain an algebraic formula for the Euler characteristic of the fibres of a real weighted-homogeneous polynomial and a real version of the L{^e}-Iomdine formula. We have also included some results of the same flavor on the local topology of locally closed definable sets.

Let X be a stratified space on which the Juteau-Mautner-Williamson theory of parity sheaves is available. We develop a "nearby cycles formalism" in the framework of the homotopy category of parity sheaves on X, also known as the mixed modular derived category of X. This construction is expected to have applications in modular geometric representation theory.
