Lipschitz geometry of complex curves

Algebraic Geometry 2015-03-17 v2

Abstract

We describe the Lipschitz geometry of complex curves. For the most part this is well known material, but we give a stronger version even of known results. In particular, we give a quick proof, without any analytic restrictions, that the outer Lipschitz geometry of a germ of a complex plane curve determines and is determined by its embedded topology. This was first proved by Pham and Teissier, but in an analytic category.
