Tropical and logarithmic techniques for the study of Milnor fibers - Lecture 1
I will explain how to combine tools of local tropical geometry and logarithmic geometry in order to study the structure of Milnor fibers of smoothings of isolated complex singularities, up to homeomorphisms. I will partly follow the paper “The Milnor fiber conjecture of Neumann and Wahl, and an overview of its proof”, written in collaboration with Marıa Angelica Cueto and Dmitry Stepanov.This course replaces a course on the same topic that should have been delivered by Angelica Cueto.
