These singularities are of genus 1 or 2, may be Q-Gorenstein, numerically Gorenstein or Gorenstein. A family of polynomials depending on the configuration of the curves computes the discriminant of the quadratic forms of these singularities. We introduce a multiplicative branch topological invariant which determines the twisting of a non-vanishing holomorphic 1-form on the complement of the singular point.40 pages, 33 figures, misprints corrected, section 3.4 addedComplex VariablesAlgebraic Geometry32S25; 32J15; 14J17; 14B05; 11C20; 15A36Quadratic forms and singularities of genus one or twotext
