In this paper, we study polar quotients and \L ojasiewicz exponents of plane curve singularities, which are {\em not necessarily reduced}. We first show that the polar quotients is a topological invariant. We next prove that the \L…

Let $f$ be an isolated singularity at the origin of $\mathbb{C}^n$. One of many invariants that can be associated with $f$ is its {\L}ojasiewicz exponent $\mathcal{L}_0 (f)$, which measures, to some extent, the topology of $f$. We give, for…

Let $f: (\mathbb{C}^n,0) \rightarrow (\mathbb{C},0)$ be a semiquasihomogeneous function. We give a formula for the local {\L}ojasiewicz exponent $\mathcal{L}_{0}(f)$ of $f$, in terms of weights of $f$. In particular, in the case of a…

We consider the polar curves $\PSO$ arising from generic projections of a germ $(S,0)$ of complex surface singularity onto $\C^2$. Taking $(S,0)$ to be a minimal singularity of normal surface (i.e. a rational singularity with reduced…

Given a hypersurface singularity $(X,0) \subset (\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$ defined by a holomorphic function $f:(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0) \to (\mathbb{C},0)$, we introduce an alternating version of Teissier's Jacobian Newton polygon, associated with…

Let $(f,g): (S,s) \to (\mathbb{C}^2, 0)$ be a finite morphism from a germ of normal complex analytic surface to the germ of $\mathbb{C}^2$ at the origin. We show that the affine algebraic curve in $\mathbb{C}^2$ defined by the initial…

Let $f(x,y), g(x,y)$ denote either a pair of holomorphic function germs, or a pair of monic polynomials in $x$ whose coefficients are Laurent series in $y$. A relative polar arc is a Newton-Puiseux root, $x=\gamma(y)$, of the Jacobian…

In this paper we observe that the {\L}ojasiewicz exponent $\mathcal{L}_0(X)$ of an ADE-type singularity $X$ can be computed by means of invariants of certain ideals in the local ring ${\mathcal O}_{X,0}$. After extending the notion of…

The polar curves of foliations $\mathcal F$ having a curve $C$ of separatrices generalize the classical polar curves associated to hamiltonian foliations of $C$. As in the classical theory, the equisingularity type ${\wp}({\mathcal F})$ of…

We consider the generalised Jacobian $J_{0}(N)_{\mathbf{m}}$ of the modular curve $X_{0}(N)$ of level $N$, with respect to the modulus $\mathbf{m}$ consisting of all cusps on the modular curve. When $N$ is odd, we determine the group…
