Zoom Calls Are So Much Better With Cats: 4 Expert Tips -
        Catster

This semester we plan to have all of our seminars online


  1.   Zoom, 20 February 2026, Friday, 15:40

    Öznur Turhan - [Galatasaray & Polish Academy] - Newton-nondegenerate line singularities, Lê numbers and Bekka (c)-regularity

    Abstract: Consider an analytic function $f(t,z)$ defined in a neighbourhood of the origin of $\mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{C}^n$ such that for all $t$, the function $f_t(z):=f(t,z)$ defines a hypersurface of $\mathbb{C}^n$ with a line singularity at $0\in\mathbb{C}^n$. Denote by $V(f)$ the hypersurface of $\mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{C}^n$ defined by $f(t,z)$ and write $Σf$ for its singular locus. We assume that $f_t$ is ''quasi-convenient'' and Newton nondegenerate. Within this framework, we show that if the Lê numbers of $f_t$ are independent of $t$ for all small $t$, then $Σf$ is smooth and $V(f)\backslash Σf$ is Bekka (c)-regular over $Σf$. This is a version for line singularities of a result of Abderrahmane concerning isolated singularities.

    As a corollary, we obtain that any family of quasi-convenient, Newton non-degenerate, line singularities with constant Lê numbers as above is topologically equisingular. In particular, this applies to families with non-constant Newton diagrams, and therefore extends, in some direction, a result previously observed by Damon.

    This is a joint work with Christophe Eyral.
