Analysis Seminar
Time: 14:40
Speaker: Rasul Shafikov (Western)
Title: "Lagrangian immersions, polynomial convexity, and Whitney umbrellas, III"
Room: MC 107

Abstract: This is a continuation of the talk from October 11. Details will be given of the proof that a Lagrangian surface $X\subset \mathbb C^2$ near an isolated singularity which is a Whitney umbrella is locally polynomially convex. In this talk I will discuss Bruno's construction of normal forms for the dynamical system that determines the phase portrait of the characteristic foliation.
