prof. Hwang_Jun-muk
Let (M, D) be a holomorphic contact manifold, i.e., a complex manifold M of dimension 2m+1 equipped with a holomorphic contact structure D. An m-dimensional complex analytic subvariety V in M is called a Legendrian subvariety if the smooth locus of V is tangent to D. A Legendrian singularity means the germ of a Legendrian subvariety at a point. We discuss conditions under which a Legendrian singularity becomes a cone singularity and explain how they are related to the geometry of Fano contact manifolds.
