SUMMARY:Geometry of complex surface singularities
DESCRIPTION:Conférencier/Speaker  : Walter Neumann\, Barnard College\, Col
 umbia University Titre/Title  : Geometry of complex surface singularities 
 Resume/Abstract  : A complex variety has two intrinsic metric space struct
 ures in the neighborhood of any point ('inner' and 'outer' metric) which a
 re uniquely determined from the complex structure up to bilipschitz change
  of the metric (changing distances by at most a constant factor). In dimen
 sion 1 the inner metric (given by minimal arc-length within the variety) c
 arries no interesting information\, and it is only very recently\, startin
 g with a 2008 paper of Birbrair and Fernandes\, that it has become clear h
 ow rich metric information is in higher dimensions. Dimension 2 is now ver
 y well understood through work of Birbrair\, Pichon and the speaker. The t
 alk will give an overview of this work and some applications.Colloque de m
