Lipschitz Geometry of Singularities

  The meeting will focus not only on the understanding of the Lipschitz geometry of singular spaces and maps but also on its interaction with other aspects of singularities: resolutions, abstract and embedded topology of hypersurfaces, equisingularity, deformations, smoothings, natural stratifications, arc and jet spaces, geodesics on singular spaces, curvature, etc.
 The topics covered by the meeting include:

 (1) Lipschitz Geometry of germs of Real and Complex Surfaces (this will contain some introductory lectures for students and post-docs).

 (2) Zariski Multiplicity Conjecture (this will include an elementary talk on regularity and invariance of tangent cones, and a review of recent results in this direction).

 (3) Blow-analytic and Lipschitz geometry of functions.

 (4) Geometry and Topology of Geodesics on Singular Surfaces.

 (5) Lipschitz geometry and arc spaces and jet schemes.

The program will consist of

 2 or 3 mini-courses, each of three hours, for students, post-docs and researchers starting in this area;

12 to 15 talks of one hour each.

The speakers and lectures will be chosen by the Scientific Committee of the conference.
