Abstract: Let $u$ be a nilpotent endomorphism of a finite dimensional $mathbbC$-vector space. The set ${mathcalF}_u$ of $u$-stable complete flags is a projective algebraic variety called a Springer fiber. Its irreducible components are parameterized by a set of standard tableaux. We provide three characterizations of the singular components of ${mathcalF}_u$ in the case $u^2=0$. First, we give the combinatorial description of standard tableaux corresponding to singular components. Second, we prove that a component is singular if and only if its Poincar'e polynomial is not palindromic. Third, we show that a component is singular when it has too many intersections of codimension one with other components. Finally, relying on the second criterion, we infer that, for $u$ general, whenever ${mathcalF}_u$ has a singular component, it admits a component whose Poincar'e polynomial is not palindromic. This work relies on a previous criterion of singularity for components of ${mathcalF}_u$ in the case $u^2=0$ by the first author and on the description of the $B$-orbit decomposition of orbital varieties of nilpotent order two by the second author.
