Abstract

We show that every quasi-ordinary Weierstrass polynomial P(Z)=Zd+a1(X)Zd1+...+ad(X)\K[[X]][Z]P(Z) = Z^d+a_1 (X) Z^{d-1}+...+a_d(X) \in \K[[X]][Z] , X=(X1,...,Xn)X=(X_1,..., X_n), over an algebraically closed field of characterisic zero \K\K, and satisfying a1=0a_1=0, is ν\nu-quasi-ordinary. That means that if the discriminant ΔP\K[[X]]\Delta_P \in \K[[X]] is equal to a monomial times a unit then the ideal (aid!/i(X))i=2,...,d(a_i^{d!/i}(X))_{i=2,...,d} is principal and generated by a monomial. We use this result to give a constructive proof of the Abhyankar-Jung Theorem that works for any Henselian local subring of \K[[X]]\K[[X]] and the function germs of quasi-analytic families.
