Abstract:

Although it has been known for over half a century that analytic varieties are topologically conical in the neighborhood of a singular point, it has only become clear in the last decade that they need not be metrically conical. This paper explores that phenomenon in the case of the A_k singularities.


Keywords:

Lipschitz Geometry, conic and non-conic singularities
