Isolated Hypersurface Singularities May Be Stably Degenerate
Mark McLean, Ivan Smith
We prove the existence of stably degenerate hypersurface singularities. Ingredients in the proof include the mixed Hodge structure on the contact locus of a singularity and that mo…

Splitting Symplectic Monodromy
Ailsa Keating, Ivan Smith, Michael Wemyss
We discuss some examples in which symplectic monodromy (provably or conjecturally) splits off the symplectic mapping class group, hoping to illustrate different techniques and inpu…
