Lipschitz geometry of complex surfaces: analytic invariants and equisingularity

Algebraic Geometry 2016-02-18 v3 Complex Variables

Abstract

We prove that the outer Lipschitz geometry of a germ (X,0)(X,0) of a normal complex surface singularity determines a large amount of its analytic structure. In particular, it follows that any analytic family of normal surface singularities with constant Lipschitz geometry is Zariski equisingular. We also prove a strong converse for families of normal complex hypersurface singularities in C3\mathbb C^3: Zariski equisingularity implies Lipschitz triviality. So for such a family Lipschitz triviality, constant Lipschitz geometry and Zariski equisingularity are equivalent to each other.

Added a new section 10 to correct a minor gap and simplify some arguments
