Singularities and Topology of Meromorphic Functions

  • Chapter
Trends in Singularities

Part of the book series: Trends in Mathematics ((TM))

Abstract

We present several aspects of the “topology of meromorphic functions”, which we conceive as a general theory which includes the topology of holomorphic functions, the topology of pencils on quasi-projective spaces and the topology of polynomial functions.
