Singularities--Niigata-Toyama 2007
Edited by: Jean-Paul Brasselet, CNRS, Marseille, France, Shihoko Ishii, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, Tatsuo Suwa, Niigata University, Japan, and Michel Vaquie, Université de Toulouse, France
A publication of the Mathematical Society of Japan.
 Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics 2009; 408 pp; hardcover Volume: 56 ISBN-10: 4-931469-55-8 ISBN-13: 978-4-931469-55-6 List Price: US$72 Member Price: US$57.60 Order Code: ASPM/56 This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Fourth Franco-Japanese Symposium on Singularities held at Toyama in August 2007 and also the Workshop on Singularities held at Niigata prior to this symposium. Research on singularities is widely expanding and is now applied in various areas in mathematics and other sciences. Experts in singularities from many different fields have contributed their articles, mostly on original results and some surveys. The reader will learn about the vividly developing domains and will be inspired by many different approaches to singularities. Volumes in this series are freely available electronically 5 years post-publication. Published for the Mathematical Society of Japan by Kinokuniya, Tokyo, and distributed worldwide, except in Japan, by the AMS. Readership Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in analysis. Table of Contents T. Ashikaga and K.-I.
