We describe a new algebro-geometric perspective on the study of the Milnor fibration and, as a first step toward putting it into practice, prove powerful criteria for a deformation of a holomorphic function germ to admit a stratification on…

For a polynomial $f$ in two complex variables, we prove that the multi-link at infinity of the 0-fiber $f^{-1}(0)$ is a fibred multi-link if and only if all the values different from 0 are regular at infinity.

We compute the signature of the Milnor fiber of certain type of non-isolated complex surface singularities, namely, images of finitely determined holomorphic germs. An explicit formula is given in algebraic terms. As a corollary we show…

We study the Euler characteristic of the Milnor fibre of a hypersurface singularity. This invariant is given in terms of the Euler characteristic of a fibre in between the original singularity and its Milnor fibre and in terms of the Euler…

This article and its successor concern the topology of real isolated hypersurface singularities. We prove that after attaching a certain number of handles the real Milnor fibres become contractible, with each handle corresponding to a…

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 $\mu_I$,…

We give, in terms of the {\L}ojasiewicz inequality, a sufficient condition for $C^k$-mappings germs of non-isolated singularity at zero to be isotopical.

In this paper, we prove that the Milnor fibre of a singularity over an i.c.i.s. of dimension 3 has the homotopy type of a bouquet of spheres, provided that the function that defines the singularity has finite extended codimension with…

Let $(X,0)$ be an ICIS of dimension 2 and let $f:(X,0)\to (\C^2,0)$ be a map germ with an isolated instability. We look at the invariants that appear when $X_s$ is a smoothing of $(X,0)$ and $f_s:X_s\to B_\epsilon$ is a stabilization of…

We study topologically monotone surjective $W^{1,n}$-maps of finite distortion $f \colon \Omega \to \Omega'$, where $\Omega, \Omega' $ are domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 2$. If the outer distortion function $K_f \in…

\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…

For a certain parametrized family of maps on the circle, with critical points and logarithmic singularities where derivatives blow up to infinity, a positive measure set of parameters was constructed in [19], corresponding to maps which…

We study the vanishing cycles on the Milnor fibre of a holomorphic map germ with special kind of non-isolated singularities which appear in symplectic geometry. We show, under assumptions given in the text, that the Lefschetz vanishing…

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…

Following Favre, we define a holomorphic germ f:(C^d,0) -> (C^d,0) to be rigid if the union of the critical set of all iterates has simple normal crossing singularities. We give a partial classification of contracting rigid germs in…

The integral variation map and algebraic monodromy of isolated plane curve singularities are important homological invariants of the singularity which are still far from being completely understood. This work provides effective ways of…

We study codimension two determinantal varieties with isolated singularities. These singularities admit a unique smoothing, thus we can define their Milnor number as the middle Betti number of their generic fiber. For surfaces in C^4, we…

We provide a family of isolated tangent to the identity germs $f:(\mathbb{C}^3,0) \to (\mathbb{C}^3,0)$ which possess only degenerate characteristic directions, and for which the lift of $f$ to any modification (with suitable properties)…

Let $\Cal U$ be an open neighborhood of the origin in $\Bbb C^{n+1}$ and let $f:(\Cal U, \bold 0)\to(\Bbb C, 0)$ be complex analytic. Let $z_0$ be a generic linear form on $\Bbb C^{n+1}$. If the relative polar curve $\Gamma^1_{f, z_0}$ at…

Given a null-cobordant oriented framed link $L$ in a closed oriented $3$--manifold $M$, we determine those links in $M \setminus L$ which can be realized as the singular point set of a generic map $M \to \mathbb{R}^2$ that has $L$ as an…
