While the topological types of {normal} surface singularities with homology sphere link have been classified, forming a rich class, until recently little was known about the possible analytic structures.

A topologically minimal surface may be isotoped into a normal form with respect to a fixed triangulation. If the intersection with each tetrahedron is simply connected, then the pieces of this normal form are triangles, quadrilaterals, and helicoids. Helical pieces can have any number of positive or negative twists. We…

We prove the "End Curve Theorem," which states that a normal surface singularity (X,o)(X,o) with rational homology sphere link ΣΣ is a splice-quotient singularity if and only if it has an end curve function for each leaf of a good resolution tree. An "end-curve function" is an analytic function $(X,o)\to (\C,0)$ whose ze…

This paper considers aspects of 4-manifold topology from the point of view of the null cone of a neutral metric, a point of view we call neutral causal topology. In particular, we construct and investigate neutral 4-manifolds with null boundaries that arise from canonical 3- and 4-dimensional settings. A null hypersurf…

Following the very recent line of work on the ``generalized min-max'' (GMM) kernel, this study proposes the ``generalized intersection'' (GInt) kernel and the related ``normalized generalized min-max'' (NGMM) kernel. In computer vision, the (histogram) intersection kernel has been popular, and the GInt kernel generaliz…
