Abstract

Hypersemitoric systems are 2-degree-of-freedom integrable systems on 4-dimensional manifolds that have an underlying $S^1$-symmetry and no degenerate singularities apart from maybe a finite number of families of so-called parabolic singularities. We give a short overview of recent examples displaying various bifurcations and sketch a topological-combinatorial classification of the connected components of fibers of hypersemitoric systems.
