Centre International de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées

CIMPA-UNESCO-MESR-MINECO-VIETNAM research school

Objectives :

The main topics of the school cover Singularities in Geometry and Topology and their applications. More precisely it includes singularities of maps:singularities of polynomial maps, Jacobian conjecture, Milnor fibrations, and singularities of varieties : singularities of real and complex surfaces, characteristic classes, intersection homology, hyperplane arrangements.

Applications to medical imaging, astrophysics, computer vision or robotic will be original features of the school.

The aim of the school is double : to provide an introduction to some current problems for postgraduate students, young researchers and mathematicians in the region as well as to present recent advances and perspectives for more specialized researchers.

The aimed region is globally South Asia.

The school will be followed by a 4 days workshop.
