Title

ADE classification of Hypersurface Singularities over Local Rings

Abstract

The ADE classification is an important collection of objects that appears in many fields of mathematics. In the context of algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, the ADE classification proved an important collection of hypersurfaces with unique properties, that were classified by Artin, Du Val, Arnold, Greuel, and many others. In this talk we will discuss the different properties of the ADE classification over fields of both zero and positive characteristic, and how we can generalize these results to over complete regular local rings using a characteristic free approach.
