20 How to check if N N F? Theorem (Fernández de Bobadilla, 009) Given two divisors above O C, the following are equivalent: N N F there exists a convergent family of convergent arcs α realising the inclusion with α 0 N and α s N F. 3 for any convergent arc γ N there exists a family of convergent arcs α realising the inclusion with α 0 = γ (and α s N F ).

37 Valuative criterion in arc saces (A. Reguera, C. Plenat, S. Ishii...) Divisorial valuation ord = vanishing order along the divisor. Can be comuted intersecting with aroiate arcs γ in N : ord (f ) = I O (f, γ) = ord t (f γ(t)). Choosing a family of arcs with an aroriate α 0 N and α s N F we get ord F (h) ord t (h α s (t)) ord t (h α 0 (t)) = ord (h) forall h C[[x, y]].

38 Valuative criterium in arc saces (A. Reguera, C. Plènat, S. Ishii...) A. Reguera for rational surfaces in Manuscrita math C. Plénat in general in Annal Inst. Fourier 005: N N F imlies ord ord F S. Ishii in Maximal Divisorial Sets: if F is toric, also the converse is true: ord ord F imlies N N F. She found a counterexamle for the converse in general (ord F ord but N N F ).

40 Other tools to rule out adjacencies? N N F imlies codim(n F ) < codim(n ). In [de Fernex, in, Ishii, Lazarsfeld, Mustata 00?]: codim(n ) = + disc(, C ). The discreancy of is the coefficient of in K X /C where π : X C is any model where aears. It is not a sufficient criterium (even with toric examles) Neither lus the valuative criterium (counterexamle of Ishii with the same discreancy). The roblem turns very difficult...

47 (, F ) (, F ) [N N F N N F ] To change the comlex structure we can use: Let g : X Y is a non-ramified covering of differentaible manifolds. A comlex structure on Y can be lifted to X so that g is a local biholomorhism.

A comlex structure on Y can be lifted to X so that g is a local biholomorhism. (Grauert-Remmert) Let A be a normal analytic sace, let B A be a closed analytic subset such that A \ B is dense in A. Let f : U A \ B be a finite and étale analytic morhism. Then there exists a finite analytic extension f : V A from a normal analytic sace V. Moreover V is unique u to isomorhism.

49 (, F ) (, F ) [N N F N N F ] To change the comlex structure we can use: Let g : X Y is a non-ramified covering of differentaible manifolds. A comlex structure on Y can be lifted to X so that g is a local biholomorhism. (Grauert-Remmert) Let A be a normal analytic sace, let B A be a closed analytic subset such that A \ B is dense in A. Let f : U A \ B be a finite and étale analytic morhism. Then there exists a finite analytic extension f : V A from a normal analytic sace V. Moreover V is unique u to isomorhism. We can assume the wedge α : C C is algebraic, that is there exists olynomials F, F C[s, t, x, y] such that F (s, t, α (s, t)) = F (s, t, α (s, t)) = 0.

50 Coming back to the valuative criterium... Recall: N N F imlies there exists a family of arametrizations α(t, s) with α 0 (t) N and α s N F for all s Λ \ {0}. Deforming a little α, we can assume that The equation F (x, y, s) of α (O) = {0} Λ. Im[(t, s) (α(t, s), s) C Λ] gives a deformation of lane curves given by f s (x, y) := F (x, y, s) where f 0 (x, y) = 0 lifts transversally to and all f s (x, y) = 0 lift transversally to F for all s 0. These deformations have a secial roerty: for s 0 they can be resolved simultaneously by a sequence of blow us, they fix the free oints (for F ).

51 Valuative criterium. Let f s be a deformation fixing the free oints. If f 0 = 0 has strict transform transverse to some and f s = 0 have strict transforms transverse to a fixed F for all s 0, then ord F (h) ord (h) h C[[x, y]]. We have I O (h, f s) I O (h, f 0) but is not enough...

52 Valuative criterium. Let f s be a deformation fixing the free oints. If f 0 = 0 has strict transform transverse to some and f s = 0 have strict transforms transverse to a fixed F for all s 0, then ord F (h) ord (h) h C[[x, y]]. We have I O (h, f s) I O (h, f 0) but is not enough... Proof Take embedded resolution ( X, D = i D i) (C, O) of f s = 0 and f 0 = 0. Look at it in family X Λ C Λ. Let Y be the strict transform of F = 0 (F (x, y, s) := f s(x, y)). Observe Y s = {f s = 0} for s 0 Y 0 = {f 0 = 0} + k d k D k, with d k 0. We get Y 0 D i = Y s D i for any i. Putting M = (D i D j ), ( = D 0, F = D n), (, 0,..., 0) t + M(d,.., d n) t = (0,..., 0, ) t. M (, 0,..., 0, ) t = (d,..., d n) t 0. and the entries of M are exactly ord D (h D ) = I O (h D, h D ).

53 Valuative criterium. Let f s be a deformation fixing the free oints. If f 0 = 0 has strict transform transverse to some and f s = 0 have strict transforms transverse to a fixed F for all s 0, then ord F (h) ord (h) h C[[x, y]]. We have I O (h, f s) I O (h, f 0) but is not enough... Recirocally, if ord F (h) ord (h) h C[[x, y]], then, taking h = 0 and h F = 0 with strict transform transverse to and F in a model of + F, then h + s h F have strict transform transverse to F for s 0 small enough. (Also roved by M. Alberich y J. Roe).

54 Valuative criterium. Let f s be a deformation fixing the free oints. If f 0 = 0 has strict transform transverse to some and f s = 0 have strict transforms transverse to a fixed F for all s 0, then ord F (h) ord (h) h C[[x, y]]. We have I O (h, f s) I O (h, f 0) but is not enough... Recirocally, if ord F (h) ord (h) h C[[x, y]], then, taking h = 0 and h F = 0 with strict transform transverse to and F in a model of + F, then h + s h F have strict transform transverse to F for s 0 small enough. (Also roved by M. Alberich y J. Roe). Proof Check it works.

55 Valuative criterium. Let f s be a deformation fixing the free oints. If f 0 = 0 has strict transform transverse to some and f s = 0 have strict transforms transverse to a fixed F for all s 0, then ord F (h) ord (h) h C[[x, y]]. We have I O (h, f s) I O (h, f 0) but is not enough... Recirocally, if ord F (h) ord (h) h C[[x, y]], then, taking h = 0 and h F = 0 with strict transform transverse to and F in a model of + F, then h + s h F have strict transform transverse to F for s 0 small enough. (Also roved by M. Alberich y J. Roe). Summarizing: Proosition Let and F be two rime divisors. There exists a deformation f s of a curve f 0 = 0 that lifts transversal to that fixes the free oints for F (f s = 0 has strict transform transverse to F for s 0) if and only if ord F ord. So, the valuative criterion is a criterion for the existence of deformations of functions not of arametrizations!

56 Adjacency roblems. CLASSICAL ON: Given two toological tyes f = 0 and g = 0 in (C, 0), study when there exists a deformation f t = 0 where f 0 = 0 has the toological tye of f = 0 and f t = 0 the one of g = 0. OUR OBSRVATION: deformation fixing the free oints of the generic curves are characterized by the valuative criterium.

57 Valuative criterium. Proosition Let and F be rime divisors over O C. There exists a deformation f s of a curve f 0 = 0 that lifts transversal to that fixes the free oints for F (f s = 0 has strict transform transverse to F for s 0) if and only if ord F ord. Good things about the result and our roblem: It talks about concrete divisors, not only toological tyes. Takes into account the contact order of and F. They are very easy to check finite conditions (inequalities for h D with D in the minimal model of F ) => Algorithm! Also works for F a non-rime divisor: if F = i a if i then we the condition is ord F := i a iord Fi ord. Bad news: Not all the adjacencies are of this tye.

58 We recover many of the adjacencies from Arnol d s list. A A A 3 A 4 A 5 A 6 A 7 A 8... D 4 D 5 D 6 D 7 D Only 7 out of the 93 classical adjacencies between simle singularities of µ 8 are not realizable.

59 We recover many of the adjacencies from Arnol d s list. A A A 3 A 4 A 5 A 6 A 7 A 8... D 4 D 5 D 6 D 7 D For examle, ord A5 ord 6 but still there exists a deformation y 3 + x 4 + s y + sx y.

60 We recover many of the adjacencies from Arnol d s list. J 3,0 J 3, X 9 J 0 Z,0 Z, Z Z Z 3 Z 7 Z 8 Z 9 W W W W W,0 W, Some were not in Arnol d s list: Z = S,4,5 8, Z = S,4,6 J 0 = T,3,6, W 7 Z 3 = S,4,7 Some are not realizable: W 8 Z 7, Z J 0, X 9 7.

61 Relation to the study of δ constant stratum. Recall Teissier s Theorem: a deformation f t admits a arametrization in family if and only if it is δ-constant. (δ(c, 0) = dim C (O C, 0 /O C,0)). Describe all the N N F is equivalent to describe which of the deformations fixing the free oints are in the δ-constant stratum. Our roblem is slightly different to the classical study of the δ-constant stratum: may be easier?

63 Order and duality for toological tyes that are resolved in n blow-us.

64 Order and duality for toological tyes that are resolved in n blow-us. Take combinatorial information (/0) about n 3 edges (straight/curve) and n 3 vertices (broken between straight/smooth). Combinatorics induces a artial order: the more straight lines and broken vertices, the bigger. Vertices dges 0 * + >0, 0 > Vertices dges You get a duality that inverting the artial order just interchanging broken/curve and smooth/straight and reading backwards.
