Symmetric Determinantal Singularities I: The Multiplicity of the Polar Curve

Algebraic Geometry 2020-03-30 v1

Abstract

This paper is the first part of a two part paper which introduces the study of the Whitney Equisingularity of families of Symmetric determinantal singularities. This study reveals how to use the multiplicity of polar curves associated to a generic deformation of a singularity to control the Whitney equisingularity type of these curves.
