Abstract
We resolve the 1978 Brian\c{c}on-Iarrobino Conjecture regarding the maximum singularity of , where is a tetrahedral number, by refining the work of Ramkumar-Sammartano in \cite{Ramkumar-Sammartano}. This also immediately implies the conjectural necessary condition for a point of to have the maximal singularity, suggested by the second-named author in \cite{Rezaee-23-Conjectures}. In a sequel to this article, \cite{Mackenzie-Rezaee2}, we prove a generalized version of this conjecture for certain non-tetrahedral , via proving the conjectural necessary condition.
