This note is the observation that a simple combination of known results shows that the usual analytic invariants of a finitely determined multi-germ $f\colon (\mathbb{C}^2,S)\to(\mathbb{C}^3,0)$ ---namely the image Milnor number $\mu_I$,…
The generalization of the Morse theory presented by Goresky and MacPherson is a landmark that divided completely the topological and geo\-me\-tri\-cal study of singular spaces. Let \{$X_t\}_t$ be a suitable family of germs at $0$ of…
In this work, we consider a finitely determined map germ $f$ from $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ to $(\mathbb{C}^3,0)$. We characterize the Whitney equisingularity of an unfolding $F=(f_t,t)$ of $f$ through the constancy of a single invariant in the…
We give a formula to count the number of $D_4$ singularities in a stable frontal perturbation of a corank $2$ wave front singularity $f\colon (\mathbb{C}^3,0) \to (\mathbb{C}^4,0)$ using Mond's method of stable perturbations of map germs.…
We prove that the linearization of a germ of holomorphic map of the type $F_\lambda(z)=\lambda(z+O(z^2))$ has a $ C^1$--holomorphic dependence on the multiplier $\lambda$. $C^1$--holomorphic functions are $ C^1$--Whitney smooth functions,…
This paper is devoted to the study of the LNE property in complex analytic hypersurface parametrized germs, that is, the sets that are images of finite analytic map germs from $(\mathbb{C}^n,0)$ to $(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$. We prove that if…
The Brasselet number of a function $f$ with nonisolated singularities describes numerically the topological information of its generalized Milnor fibre. In this work, we consider two function-germs $f,g:(X,0)\rightarrow(\mathbb{C},0)$ such…
In this work, we consider a quasi-homogeneous, corank $1$, finitely determined map germ $f$ from $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ to $(\mathbb{C}^3,0)$. We consider the invariants $m(f(D(f))$ and $J$, where $m(f(D(f))$ denotes the multiplicity of the…
We consider $\mathcal{A}$-finite map germs $f$ from $(\mathbb{C}^n,0)$ to $(\mathbb{C}^{2n},0)$. First, we show that the number of double points that appears in a stabilization of $f$, denoted by $d(f)$, can be calculated as the length of…
We consider a corank $1$, finitely determined, quasi-homogeneous map germ $f$ from $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ to $(\mathbb{C}^3,0)$. We describe the embedded topological type of a generic hyperplane section of $f(\mathbb{C}^2)$, denoted by…
The method of Lagrange multipliers relates the critical points of a given function f to the critical points of an auxiliary function F. We establish a cohomological relationship between f and F and use it, in conjunction with the…
In this article we study the topology of a family of real analytic germs $F \colon (\mathbb{C}^3,0) \to (\mathbb{C},0)$ with isolated critical point at 0, given by $F(x,y,z)=f(x,y)\bar{g(x,y)}+z^r$, where $f$ and $g$ are holomorphic, $r \in…
We deal with the following closely related problems: (i) For a germ of a reduced plane analytic curve, what is the minimal degree of an algebraic curve with a singular point analytically equivalent (isomorphic) to the given one? (ii) For a…
A sofic measure is the image of a Markov probability measure by a continuous morphism, and can be represented by means of products of matrices $A_n$ that belong to a finite set of nonnegative matrices. To prove that the multifractal…
We study deformations of holomorphic function germs $f:(X,0)\to\mathbb C$ where $(X,0)$ is an ICIS. We present conditions for these deformations to have constant Milnor number, Euler obstruction and Bruce-Roberts number.
The Milnor number, \mu(X,0), and the singularity genus, p_g(X,0), are fundamental invariants of isolated hypersurface singularities (more generally, of local complete intersections). The long standing Durfee conjecture (and its…
\noindent Let $\mu(f)$ resp. $c(f)$ be the Milnor number resp. the degree of the conductor of an irreducible power series $f\in \bK[[x,y]]$, where $\bK$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$. It is well-known that…
Generalized Mersenne numbers are defined as $M_{p,n} = p^n - p + 1$, where $p$ is any prime and $n$ is any positive integer. Here, we prove that for each pair $(c, p)$ with $c\geq 1$ an integer, there is at most one $M_{p, n}$ of the form…
The chromatic polynomial of a graph G counts the number of proper colorings of G. We give an affirmative answer to the conjecture of Read and Rota-Heron-Welsh that the absolute values of the coefficients of the chromatic polynomial form a…
