Polynomials and Vanishing Cycles

Discover the intricate world of algebraic geometry with Polynomials and Vanishing Cycles, authored by the esteemed Mihai-Marius Tibăr and Mihai Tibar. Published by Cambridge University Press in 2007, this comprehensive hardback edition spans 266 pages of insightful content.

This book presents a systematic geometro-topological approach to the study of vanishing cycles in non-proper fibrations. It delves into Lefschetz theory, complex Morse theory, and the singularities of hypersurfaces, providing readers with an in-depth understanding of these critical mathematical concepts. The authors explore cutting-edge research on the topology of singularities of meromorphic functions and non-generic Lefschetz pencils, making this work essential for anyone interested in advanced mathematics.

Whether you're a student, researcher, or mathematics enthusiast, Polynomials and Vanishing Cycles is a vital addition to your library that bridges the gap between theory and application in the realm of mathematics.
