On a certain generalization of triangle singularities

Abstract

Triangle singularities are Fuchsian singularities associated with von Dyck groups, which are index two subgroups of Schwarz triangle groups. Hypersurface triangle singularities are classified by Dolgachev, and give 14 exceptional unimodal singularities classified by Arnold. We introduce a generalization of triangle singularities to higher dimensions, show that there are only finitely many hypersurface singularities of this type in each dimension, and give a complete list in dimension 3.
