  2. Singular point of a curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_point_of_a_curve

    For instance the straight line y = 0 can be parameterised by () = (,), which has a singularity at the origin. When parametrised by () = (,), it is nonsingular. Hence, it is technically more correct to discuss singular points of a smooth mapping here rather than a singular point of a curve.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Degenerate bilinear form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_bilinear_form

    Such a line is additionally isotropic for the bilinear form if and only if the corresponding point is a singularity. Hence, over an algebraically closed field , Hilbert's Nullstellensatz guarantees that the quadratic form always has isotropic lines, while the bilinear form has them if and only if the surface is singular.

  5. Algebraic curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_curve

    The study of the analytic structure of an algebraic curve in the neighborhood of a singular point provides accurate information of the topology of singularities. In fact, near a singular point, a real algebraic curve is the union of a finite number of branches that intersect only at the singular point and look either as a cusp or as a smooth curve.

    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. 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 ...

  8. 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.

  9. Singularity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(mathematics)

    One could define the x-axis as a tangent at this point, but this definition can not be the same as the definition at other points. In fact, in this case, the x -axis is a "double tangent." For affine and projective varieties , the singularities are the points where the Jacobian matrix has a rank which is lower than at other points of the variety.
