Singularities in Algebraic and Analytic Geometry
Share this pageEdited by Caroline Grant Melles; Ruth I. Michler
This volume contains the proceedings of an AMS special session held at the 1999
Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Antonio. The participants were an
international group of researchers studying singularities from algebraic and
analytic viewpoints. The contributed papers contain original results as well
as some expository and historical material. This volume is dedicated to Oscar
Zariski, on the one hundredth anniversary of his birth.
Topics include the role of valuation theory in algebraic geometry with recent
applications to the structure of morphisms; algorithmic approaches to
resolution of equisingular surface singularities and locally toric varieties;
weak subintegral closures of ideals and Rees valuations; constructions of
universal weakly subintegral extensions of rings; direct-sum decompositions of
finitely generated modules; construction and examples of resolution graphs of
surface singularities; Jacobians of meromorphic curves; investigation of
spectral numbers of curve singularities using Puiseux pairs; Gröbner basis
calculations of Hochschild homology for hypersurfaces with isolated
singularities; and the theory of characteristic classes of singular spaces—a
brief history with conjectures and open problems.
