Workshop on Algebraic and Analytic Singularities (WAAS), September 18-22.09.2023

The workshop will include three Master Course series.

The workshop will consist of regular lectures given by participants, along with several mini-lectures for PhD students and undergraduates on singularity theory, including:

• Federico Sánchez-Bringas, "Lines of curvature and asymptotic lines of surfaces" (abstract: PDF).
• Kentaro Saji, "Geometry of singular surfaces and curves" (abstract: PDF)
• Michał Zwierzyński, "Exploring Affine Invariants and Equivariants: Wigner Caustic, Centre Symmetry Set, and Beyond" (abstract: PDF)

The workshop program will include a number of scientific lectures, on a variety of topics related to the theory of singularities :

• Jiro Adachi, "On global existence of some geometric structures"
• Wojciech Domitrz, "Generic singularities of 2-dimensional improper affine spheres"
• Toshizumi Fukui, "Singularities of mixed polynomials using Newton polyhedra"
