Summary on Grant Application Form
The visitor will study the phenomenon of differential linkage observed empirically by the Principal Investigator: divisors D and E are differentially linked if DUE is a free divisor. He will collaborate with the Principal Investigator in seeking a general proof that in particular the image of a stable corank map is differentially linked to its adjoint divisor and in looking for other situations in which the phenomenon occurs.Free divisions appear throughout singularity theory as discriminants and bifurcation sets. Calculating the cohomology of the complement is an important step in understanding deformation theory. The Visiting Fellow will study the relation between the cohomology of the complement and the cohomology of the logarithmic de Rham complex. The first step in this objective will be the study of the exactness of the logarithmic Spencer complex. This condition is necessary for the perversity of the logarithmic de Rham complex, which itself is a necessary condition for the logarithmic comparison theorem to hold.
