Thom series of contact singularities
Thom polynomials measure how global topology forces singularities. The power
of Thom polynomials predestine them to be a useful tool not only in
differential topology, but also in algebraic geometry (enumerative geometry,
moduli spaces) and algebraic combinatorics. The main obstacle of their
widespread application is that only a few, sporadic Thom polynomials have been
known explicitly. In this paper we develop a general method for calculating
Thom polynomials of contact singularities. Along the way, relations with the
equivariant geometry of (punctual, local) Hilbert schemes, and with iterated
residue identities are revealed
On the spectra of the quantized action-variables of the compactified Ruijsenaars-Schneider system
A simple derivation of the spectra of the action-variables of the quantized
compactified Ruijsenaars-Schneider system is presented. The spectra are
obtained by combining Kahler quantization with the identification of the
classical action-variables as a standard toric moment map on the complex
projective space. The result is consistent with the Schrodinger quantization of
the system worked out previously by van Diejen and Vinet.Comment: Based on talk at the workshop CQIS-2011 (Protvino, Russia, January
