CONFERENCE
Faces of Singularity Theory (2571)
Visages de la théorie des singularités
Dates: 22-26 November 2021
Place: CIRM (Marseille Luminy, France)
NEWS UPDATE
As the Covid-19 situation remains, we face two possibilities:
1. The health situation improves and the events can be run in a hybrid format : partly physically onsite and partly virtually
2. The situation remains such that it enforces us to run events remotely.
If the first scenario is possible, we encourage participants who can come to CIRM in person to do so and enjoy the various events with us!
In both cases, please pre-register!
DESCRIPTION
This conference will be the widest and most comprehensive event in the semester. It will be also the annual conference of the French GDR in singularity theory.

While the other events of the semester are focusing on the research project that we intend to carry, this conference intends to open the thematic spectrum within singularity theory, and explore possible interactions within different approaches.

The topics envisaged are:
  • connections with Minimal Model Program
  • resolution of Singularities
  • motivic Integration
  • Milnor fibration and related topics
  • Lipschitz geometry
  • non-archimedean, tropical and log-geometry of singularities
  • topology of singularities with connections to Floer theories connections of singularity theory with combinatorics
  • connections of singularity theory with Mirror symmetry ideas.
While the connections are wide, the main unifying factor are the singularity theory methods.
