Description
Book SynopsisThis volume constitutes the proceedings of the third Franco-Japanese symposium on singularities, held in Sapporo in September 2004. It contains not only research papers on the most advanced topics in the field, but also some survey articles which give broad scopes in some areas of the subject. All the articles are carefully refereed for correctness and readability.Published by Mathematical Society of Japan and distributed by World Scientific Publishing Co. for all markets except North America
