The aim of the project is a wide range of research in the Singularity Theory, study of bifurcations and monodromy. The programme of the Project includes the following tasks and subtasks: see more in Research details:
Finite order invariants of maps of one-dimensional manifolds.
Subtasks: Finite order invariants of knots determined by graph invariants. Detecting link orientation by finite type invariants. Periodic and double periodic knots and links. Combinatorial formulas for invariants and cohomology of generic submanifolds.
Singularities and integrable systems.
Subtasks: Noncommutative Frobenius manifolds. Hurwitz spaces and integrable systems.
Topological and analytical invariants of singular spaces and maps.
Subtasks: Poincare series, monodromy and integration of motivic type. Indices of 1-forms and characteristic classes of singular varieties. Structures on Riemann surfaces. Applications of higher Bruhat orders and multiplicative intersection theory.
Global invariants of singularities.
Subtasks: Calculation of Thom polynomials. Global Legendre topology. Coexistence of real singularities.
