  2. Singular point of a curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_point_of_a_curve

    Hence, it is technically more correct to discuss singular points of a smooth mapping here rather than a singular point of a curve. The above definitions can be extended to cover implicit curves which are defined as the zero set ⁠ ⁠ of a smooth function, and it is not necessary just to consider algebraic varieties. The definitions can be ...

  3. Resolution of singularities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_of_singularities

    Repeatedly blowing up the singular points of a curve will eventually resolve the singularities. The main task with this method is to find a way to measure the complexity of a singularity and to show that blowing up improves this measure. There are many ways to do this. For example, one can use the arithmetic genus of the curve.

  4. Quadric (algebraic geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric_(algebraic_geometry)

    The two families of lines on a smooth (split) quadric surface. In mathematics, a quadric or quadric hypersurface is the subspace of N-dimensional space defined by a polynomial equation of degree 2 over a field. Quadrics are fundamental examples in algebraic geometry. The theory is simplified by working in projective space rather than affine ...

  5. Singular point of an algebraic variety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_point_of_an...

    A plane curve defined by an implicit equation (,) =,where F is a smooth function is said to be singular at a point if the Taylor series of F has order at least 2 at this point.. The reason for this is that, in differential calculus, the tangent at the point (x 0, y 0) of such a curve is defined by the equation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric

    In mathematics, a quadric or quadric surface (quadric hypersurface in higher dimensions), is a generalization of conic sections (ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas).It is a hypersurface (of dimension D) in a (D + 1)-dimensional space, and it is defined as the zero set of an irreducible polynomial of degree two in D + 1 variables; for example, D = 1 in the case of conic sections.

  7. Cusp (singularity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cusp_(singularity)

    Consider a smooth real-valued function of two variables, say f (x, y) where x and y are real numbers.So f is a function from the plane to the line. The space of all such smooth functions is acted upon by the group of diffeomorphisms of the plane and the diffeomorphisms of the line, i.e. diffeomorphic changes of coordinate in both the source and the target.

  8. Singularity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_theory

    It was noticed in the formulation of Bézout's theorem that such singular points must be counted with multiplicity (2 for a double point, 3 for a cusp), in accounting for intersections of curves. It was then a short step to define the general notion of a singular point of an algebraic variety; that is, to allow higher dimensions.

  9. Kummer surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kummer_surface

    The Kummer involution has 16 fixed points: the 16 2-torsion point of the Jacobian, and they are the 16 singular points of the quartic surface. Resolving the 16 double points of the quotient of a (possibly nonalgebraic) torus by the Kummer involution gives a K3 surface with 16 disjoint rational curves; these K3 surfaces are also sometimes called ...
