Tangent cones reveal hidden structures, unlocking new possibilities for real-world applications.
The article explores how certain types of non-archimedean stratifications affect the shapes of sets in math. The researchers found that these stratifications create similar patterns in the tangent cones of these sets. This means that by understanding these stratifications, we can better understand the structures of these sets at specific points. Additionally, the archimedean version of these stratifications leads to even more detailed patterns in the tangent cones of certain sets. Overall, this research helps us understand how different types of stratifications impact the shapes of mathematical objects in real closed fields.
