In this short note, we first show (1) if (n, p) lies inside Mather's nice region then any A-stable multigerm f : (R^n, S)·(R^p, 0) and any C! unfolding of f are A-simple, and (2) for any (n, p) there exists a non-negative integer i such that for any integer j ((i·j)) there exists an A-stable multigerm f : (R^n·R^j, S · {0}) · (R^p · R^j , (0, 0)) which is not A-simple. Next, we obtain a characterization of curves among multigerms of corank at most one from the view point of A-stabie multigerms and A-simple multigerms. It turns out that for any (n, p) such that n < p an asymmetric Cantor set is naturally constructed by using upper bounds for multiplicities of A-stable multigerms and upper bounds for multiplicities of A-simple multigerms, and the desired characterization of curves can be obtained by cardinalities of constructed asymmetric Cantor sets.

Singularity theory is a broad subject with vague boundaries. It draws on many other areas of mathematics, and in turn has contributed to many areas both within and outside mathematics, in particular differential and algebraic geometry, knot theory, differential equations, bifurcation theory, Hamiltonian mechanics, optics, robotics and computer vision. This volume consists of two dozen articles from some of the best known figures in singularity theory, and it presents an up-to-date survey of research in this area.

The differential geometry of curves and surfaces in Euclidean space has fascinated mathematicians since the time of Newton. Here the authors cast the theory into a new light, that of singularity theory. This second edition has been thoroughly revised throughout and includes a multitude of new exercises and examples. A new final chapter has been added which covers recently developed techniques in the classification of functions of several variables, a subject central to many applications of singularity theory. Also in this second edition are new sections on the Morse lemma and the classification of plane curve singularities. The only prerequisites for students to follow this textbook are a familiarity with linear algebra and advanced calculus. Thus it will be invaluable for anyone who would like an introduction to modern singularity theory.

This 1998 book is both an introduction to, and a survey of, some topics of singularity theory; in particular the studying of singularities by means of differential forms. Here some ideas and notions that arose in global algebraic geometry, namely mixed Hodge structures and the theory of period maps, are developed in the local situation to study the case of isolated singularities of holomorphic functions. The author introduces the Gauss-Manin connection on the vanishing cohomology of a singularity, that is on the cohomology fibration associated to the Milnor fibration, and draws on the work of Brieskorn and Steenbrink to calculate this connection, and the limit mixed Hodge structure. This will be an excellent resource for all researchers whose interests lie in singularity theory, and algebraic or differential geometry.
