On an equivariant analogue of the monodromy zeta function

We offer an equivariant analogue of the monodromy zeta function of a germ invariant with respect to an action of finite group G as an element of the Grothendieck ring of finite (Z x G)-sets. We formulate equivariant analogues of the Sebastiani-Thom theorem and of the A'Campo formula

Klein foams as families of real forms of Riemann surfaces

Klein foams are analogues of Riemann surfaces for surfaces with one-dimensional singularities. They first appeared in mathematical physics (string theory etc.). By definition a Klein foam is constructed from Klein surfaces by gluing segments on their boundaries. We show that, a Klein foam is equivalent to a family of real forms of a complex algebraic curve with some structures. This correspondence reduces investigations of Klein foams to investigations of real forms of Riemann surfaces. We use known properties of real forms of Riemann surfaces to describe some topological and analytic properties of Klein foams

Indices of vector fields or 1-forms and characteristic numbers

We define an index of a collection of 1-forms on a complex isolated complete intersection singularity corresponding to a Chern number and, in the case when the 1-forms are complex analytic, express it as the dimension of a certain algebra

Radial index and Euler obstruction of a 1-form on a singular variety

A notion of the radial index of an isolated singular point of a 1-form on a singular (real or complex) variety is discussed. For the differential of a function it is related to the Euler characteristic of the Milnor fibre of the function. A connection between the radial index and the local Euler obstruction of a 1-form is described. This gives an expression for the local Euler obstruction of the differential of a function in terms of Euler characteristics of some Milnor fibres

On the arc filtration for the singularities of Arnold's lists

In a previous paper, the authors introduced a filtration on the ring ${\cal O}_{V,0}$ of germs of functions on a germ $(V,0)$ of a complex analytic variety defined by arcs on the singularity and called the arc filtration. The Poincar\'e series of this filtration were computed for simple surface singularities in the 3-space. Here they are computed for surface singularities from Arnold's lists including uni- and bimodular ones. The classification of the unimodular singularities by these Poincar\'e series turns out to be in accordance with their hierarchy defined by E. Brieskorn using the adjacency relations. Besides that we give a general formula for the Poincar\'e series of the arc filtration for isolated surface singularities which are stabilizations of plane curve ones

A filtration defined by arcs on a variety

We define a natural filtration on the ring ${\cal O}_{V,0}$ of germs of functions on a germ of a complex analytic variety $(V,0)$ related with the geometry of arcs on the variety and describe some properties of it

Homological indices of collections of 1-forms

Homological index of a holomorphic 1-form on a complex analytic variety with an isolated singular point is an analogue of the usual index of a 1-form on a non-singular manifold. One can say that it corresponds to the top Chern number of a manifold. We offer a definition of homological indices for collections of 1-forms on a (purely dimensional) complex analytic variety with an isolated singular point corresponding to other Chern numbers. We also define new invariants of germs of complex analytic varieties with isolated singular points related to "vanishing Chern numbers" at them.Comment: 12 page

On a Newton filtration for functions on a curve singularity

In a previous paper, there was defined a multi-index filtration on the ring of functions on a hypersurface singularity corresponding to its Newton diagram generalizing (for a curve singularity) the divisorial one. Its Poincar\'e series was computed for plane curve singularities non-degenerate with respect to their Newton diagrams. Here we use another technique to compute the Poincar\'e series for plane curve singularities without the assumption that they are non-degenerate with respect to their Newton diagrams. We show that the Poincar\'e series only depends on the Newton diagram and not on the defining equation.Comment: 11 page

Saito duality between Burnside rings for invertible polynomials

We give an equivariant version of the Saito duality which can be regarded as a Fourier transformation on Burnside rings. We show that (appropriately defined) reduced equivariant monodromy zeta functions of Berglund-H\"ubsch dual invertible polynomials are Saito dual to each other with respect to their groups of diagonal symmetries. Moreover we show that the relation between "geometric roots" of the monodromy zeta functions for some pairs of Berglund-H\"ubsch dual invertible polynomials described in a previous paper is a particular case of this duality.Comment: 12 pages; the main result has been improve

On the index of a vector field at an isolated singularity

We consider manifolds with isolated singularities, i.e., topological spaces which are manifolds (say, $C^\infty$--) outside discrete subsets (sets of singular points). For (germs of) manifolds with, so called, cone--like singularities, a notion of the index of an isolated singular point of a vector field is introduced. There is given a formula for the index of a gradient vector field on a (real) isolated complete intersection singularity. The formula is in terms of signatures of certain quadratic forms on the corresponding spaces of thimbles.Comment: AMS-LaTeX, 11 p. with 1 fig.; remarks, definition, and references added to Section
