Abstract: We study the Gauss map and the dual variety of a real-analytic immersion of a connected compact real-analytic manifold into a sphere or into hyperbolic space. The dual variety is defined to be the set of all normal directions of the immersion. First, we show that the image of the Gauss map characterizes the manifold. Also we show that the dual variety characterizes the manifold. Besides, duality of the second fundamental form and some results on degeneration are obtained.

Abstract: First, we consider a compact real-analytic irreducible subvariety $M$ in a sphere and its dual variety $M^\vee$. We explain that two matrices of the second fundamental forms for both varieties $M$ and $M^\vee$ can be regarded as the inverse matrices of each other. Also generalization in hyperbolic space is explained.

Abstract: The category of real-analytic sets and real-analytic maps is the most important category in application. However, in spite of efforts by F. Bruhat, H. Cartan, H. Whitney et al., the basic theory of real-analytic category does not yet seem to be well-developed. In this article I would like to point out several basic problems.

Abstract: In this paper we show that any hypersurface singularities of germs of varieties in positive characteristic can be resolved by iterated monoidal transformations in centers in smooth subvarieties, if we have a valuation ring of iterated divisor type associated with the germ. Besides, we introduce fundamental concepts for the study of resolution of singularities of germs such as space germs, iterated analytic monoidal transformations with a normal crossing, Weierstrass representations, reduction sequences, and so forth.

Abstract: Assume that there exists a hypersurface singularity which cannot be resolved by iterated monoidal transformations in positive characteristic. We show that in the set of defining functions of hypersurface singularities which cannot be resolved, we can find a function satisfying very strong conditions. By these conditions we may be able to deduce a contradiction under the above assumption. Besides, we introduce fundamental concepts for the study of resolution of singularities of germs such as space germs, iterated analytic monoidal transforms with a normal crossing, Weierstrass representations, reduction sequences, and so forth. This is a revised version of a part of contents of my previous manuscript "Resolution of Singularities of Germs in Characteristic Positive associated with Valuation Rings of Iterated Divisor Type" at http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/math.AG/9901048.

Abstract: I have succeeded in showing that any two-dimensional hypersurface singularities of germs of varieties in any characteristic can be resolved by iterated monoidal transformations with centers in smooth subvarieties. The new proof for the two-dimensional case depends on new ideas. Ideas are essentially different from Abhyankar's one in 1956 and Lipman's one in 1978. It seems to be possible to generalize the new proof into higher dimensional cases, if we add several ideas further. In this article I try to explain my new ideas.
