Multiplicities of Maxwell sets of Pham singularities
Functional Analysis and Its Applications. 2016. Vol. 50. No. 3. P. 225–227.
A two-sided estimate of local multiplicities of Maxwell sets of isolated singularities of smooth functions is proved. This estimate is sharp for semi-homogeneous functions.

A caustic of a billiard is a curve whose tangent lines are reflected to its own tangent lines. A billiard is called Birkhoff caustic-integrable, if there exists a topological annulus adjacent to its boundary from inside that is foliated by closed caustics. The famous Birkhoff Conjecture, studied by many mathematicians, states that the only Birkhoff ...

Reflection in a strictly convex bounded planar billiard acts on the space of oriented lines and preserves a standard area form. A caustic is a curve C whose tangent lines are reflected by the billiard to lines tangent to C. The famous Birkhoff conjecture states that the only strictly convex billiards with a foliation by ...

There exist several equivalent equations for the Poincaré series of a collection of valuations on the ring of germs of functions on a complex analytic variety. We give definitions of the Poincaé series of a collection of valuations in the real setting (i.e., on the ring of germs of functions on a real analytic variety), ...

A caustic of a strictly convex planar bounded billiard is a smooth curve whose tangent lines are reflected from the billiard boundary to its tangent lines. The famous Birkhoff Conjecture states that if the billiard boundary has an inner neighborhood foliated by closed caustics, then the billiard is an ellipse. It was studied by many ...

By a classical result of Darboux, a foliation of a Riemannian surface has the Graves property (also known as the strong evolution property) if and only if the foliation comes from a Liouville net. A similar result of Blaschke says that a pair of orthogonal foliations has the Ivory property if and only if they ...

We consider two nested billiards in ℝd, d≥3, with C2-smooth strictly convex boundaries. We prove that if the corresponding actions by reflections on the space of oriented lines commute, then the billiards are confocal ellipsoids. This together with the previous analogous result of the author in two dimensions solves completely the Commuting Billiard Conjecture due ...

The Arnold theorem (generalizing a consideration by Jacobi) states that on a generic Riemannian surface, which is sufficiently close to a sphere, the kth caustic of a generic point has at least four semi-cubical vertices. We prove this fact by the methods of the Morse theory; in particular, we replace the previous analytical condition of ...
