Abstract

We address the problem of classifying complete C\mathbb{C}-subalgebras of C[[t]]\mathbb{C}[[t]]. A discrete invariant for this classification problem is the semigroup of orders of the elements in a given C\mathbb{C}-subalgebra. Hence we can define the space RΓ\mathcal{R}_{\Gamma} of all C\mathbb{C}-subalgebras of C[[t]]\mathbb{C}[[t]] with semigroup Γ\Gamma. After relating this space to the Zariski moduli space of curve singularities and to a moduli space of global singular curves, we prove that RΓ\mathcal{R}_{\Gamma} is an affine variety by describing its defining equations in an ambient affine space in terms of an explicit algorithm. Moreover, we identify certain types of semigroups Γ\Gamma for which RΓ\mathcal{R}_{\Gamma} is always an affine space, and for general Γ\Gamma we describe the stratification of RΓ\mathcal{R}_{\Gamma} by embedding dimension. We also describe the natural map from RΓ\mathcal{R}_{\Gamma} to the Zariski moduli space in some special cases. Explicit examples are provided throughout.
