 Singularity theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, singularity theory is the study of the failure of manifold structure.
That implies the breakdown of parametrization of points; it is prominent in cosmology, where a gravitational singularity, at which the gravitational field is strong enough to change the very structure of space-time, is identified with a fl hole.
Such singularities in algebraic geometry are the easiest in principle to study, since they are defined by polynomial equations and therefore in terms of a coordinate system.

In complex analysis, a branch of mathematics, an isolated singularity is one that has no other singularities close to it.
Formally, a complex number z is an isolated singularity of a function f if there exists an open disk D centered at z such that f is holomorphic on D − {z}, that is, on the set obtained from D by taking z out.

A finite-time singularity occurs when a kinematic variable increases towards infinity at a finite time.
If idealized motion is considered, in which the same fraction of kinetic energy is lost on each bounce, the frequency of bounces becomes infinite as the ball comes to rest in a finite time.
Technically this involves group actions of Lie groups on spaces of jetss; in less abstract terms Taylor expansions are examined up to change of variable, pinning down singularities with enough derivatives.

An interesting consequence of the local study along $S^*$ is the corollary showing that for a germ with an isolated singularity, the largest sub-(a,b)-module having a simple p\^ole in its Brieskorn-(a,b)-module is independant of the choice of a reduced equation for the corresponding hypersurface germ.
An analoguous of the Brieskorn module of an isolated singularity is defined and a finitness theorem is proved using Kashiwara's constructibility theorem.
Abstract: The aim of this first part is to introduce, for an rather large class of hypersurface singularities with 1 dimensionnal locus, the analog of the Brieskorn lattice at the origin (the singular point of the singular locus).

Hence in this paper we deal with singularities whose projectivized tangent cone at the singular point $D$ is a non-reduced divisor in $\pp^2.$ Let $\dre$ be the reduced divisor in $\pp^2$ related to $D$ and $p$ its degree.
First section of the paper is devoted to preliminary results, we write down another formula for the Milnor number in terms of the multiplicity of the singularity and some generalized Milnor numbers of its projectivized tangent cone at the singular point $D.$ In sections 2 and 3 we prove Theorems 2 and 3 respectively.
Let $(V,0)\subset (\cc^{n},0)$ be an isolated hypersurface singularity defined by the zero locus of a complex analytic function $f.$ By \cite{17} for studying topological properties of $(V,0)$ we may assume that $f=f_d+f_{d+1}+\ldots+f_r$ is a polynomial of degree $r$ large enough.

 CMB - Characterizations of Simple Isolated Line Singularities
A line singularity is a function germ $f\colon(\CC ^{n+1},0) \lra\CC$ with a smooth $1$-dimensional critical set $\Sigma=\{(x,y)\in \CC\times \CC^n \mid y=0\}$.
An isolated line singularity is defined by the condition that for every $x \neq 0$, the germ of $f$ at $(x,0)$ is equivalent to $y_1^2 +\cdots+y_n ^2$.
Simple isolated line singularities were classified by Dirk Siersma and are analogous of the famous $A-D-E$ singularities.

In singularity theory, the most common equivalence relation of hypersurface singularities is the ${\cal R}$ (=right)-equivalence.\\ {\bf 1.2.\ Definition.}\ Two germs $g$, \f are called ${\cal R}$-equivalent, if there exists a biholomorphic germ $\varphi: ({\bf C}^{n+1},0)\to ({\bf C}^{n+1},0)$ such that $f=g\circ \varphi$.
The singular locus of the space--germ $(V_f,0)$ is given by $Sing(V_f):= \{z:\partial f(z)=0\}$.
Therefore, $S_0=(\mu+\sigma)/4$ is the measure of the non--rationality of the singularity $(f^{-1}(0),0)$ (cf.

There are some generalizations of the classical Eisenbud-Levine-Khimshiashvili formula for the index of a singular point of an analytic vector field on $R^n$ to vector fields on singular varieties.
For a variety with an isolated singularity, we define an index of a (real) 1-form on it.
In the complex setting we define an index of a holomorphic 1-form on a complex isolated complete intersection singularity (icis) and express it as the dimension of a certain algebra.

Two different uses of the same word, a singular phenomena is a 'sense datum' or a 'qualia', for example an instance of redness or a feeling of pain.
I am temporarily adopting the stance that all properties are relational and that things cannot exist in isolation in order to have a common ground to thrash this out in.
Moreover, no isolated bit, which does not at least talk to itself, can be said to be communicating information, or more strongly, it can not be said to be “encoded” with information; therefore, it is nothing, empty.

 Singularity III: Revenge of the SIP
Instead, we've modelled a conventional systems as a version of Singularity in which the kernel and device drivers run in one hardware domain and application and system processes each run in their own domain.
Right now, Singularity is a small system (a few hundred thousand lines of code), and the real challenge would only arise if it grew and was maintained by a larger, less cohesive team.
Since Singularity won't reach a mature state (mature = can be used by a lot people, without going back to the DOS UI and knowing much about OS internals) in the next couple of years, emulation could be an interesting alternative.
