Poincaré series and monodromy of the simple and unimodal boundary singularities

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A boundary singularity is a singularity of a function on a manifold with boundary. The simple and unimodal boundary singularities were classified by V. I. Arnold and V. I. Matov. The McKay correspondence can be generalized to the simple boundary singularities. We consider the monodromy of the simple, parabolic, and exceptional unimodal boundary singularities. We show that the characteristic polynomial of the monodromy is related to the Poincar'e series of the coordinate algebra of the ambient singularity.


A boundary singularity is a singularity of a function on a manifold with boundary. The relation between the characteristic polynomial of the mono\-dromy and the Poincaré series of the ambient hypersurface singularity for such a singularity is investigated. The simple boundary singularities arise from simple hypersuface singularities, and there is a generalization of the McKay correspondence for these cases. For seven of the 12 exceptional uni\-nodal boundary singularities a direct relation between the Poincaré series of the ambient singularity and the characteristic polynomial of the monodromy is given.
