Assume that $f:(\mathbb{C}^n,0) \to (\mathbb{C},0)$ is an analytic function germ at the origin with only isolated singularity. Let $\mu$ and $\tau$ be the corresponding Milnor and Tjurina numbers. We show that $\dfrac{\mu}{\tau} \leq n$. As…

A set of Morse numbers is associated to a holomorphic function germ with stratified isolated singularity, extending the classical Milnor number to the setting of a singular base space.

\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…

By the Mather-Yau theorem, a complex hypersurface germ $V$ with isolated singularity is completely determined by its moduli algebra $A(V)$. The proof of the theorem does not provide an explicit procedure for recovering $V$ from $A(V)$, and…

We show three basic properties on the image Milnor number $\mu_I(f)$ of a germ $f\colon(\mathbb{C}^{n},S)\rightarrow(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$ with isolated instability. First, we show the conservation of the image Milnor number, from which one…

We prove that a map germ $f:(\mathbb{C}^n,S)\to(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$ with isolated instability is stable if and only if $\mu_I(f)=0$, where $\mu_I(f)$ is the image Milnor number defined by Mond. In a previous paper we proved this result…

The Brasselet number of a function $f$ with nonisolated singularities describes numerically the topological information of its generalized Milnor fibre. In this work, using the Brasselet number, we present several formulas for germs $f:(X,…

Let $ \Phi: ({\mathbb C}^2, 0) \to ( {\mathbb C}^3, 0) $ be a finitely determined complex analytic germ and let $(\{f=0\},0)$ be the reduced equation of its image, a non-isolated hypersurface singularity. We provide the plumbing graph of…

We study germs of analytic maps $f:(X,S)\rightarrow(\mathbb{C}^p,0)$, when $X$ is an ICIS of dimension $n<p$. We define an image Milnor number, generalizing Mond's definition, $\mu_I(X,f)$ and give results known for the smooth case such as…

For a germ of a variety $\mathcal{V}, 0 \subset \mathbb C^N, 0$, a singularity $\mathcal{V}_0$ of type $\mathcal{V}$, is given by a germ $f_0 : \mathbb C^n, 0 \to \mathbb C^N, 0$ which is transverse to $\mathcal{V}$ in an appropriate sense…

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…

The article examines a set of irreducible germs $f_P:U_P\to V_p$ of %finite generic morphisms $f:S\to\mathbb P^2$ to the projective plane whose branch curve germs $B_P\subset V_p$ have singularities equisingular deformation equivalent to…

Let f be a hypersurface surface local singularity whose zero set has 1-dimensional singular locus. We develop an explicit procedure that provides the boundary of the Milnor fibre of f as an oriented plumbed 3-manifold. The method provides…

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…

We study groups of germs of complex diffeomorphisms having a property called irreducibility. The notion is motivated by a similar property of the fundamental group of the complement of an irreducible hypersurface in the complex projective…

Let f and g be holomorphic function-germs vanishing at the origin of a complex analytic germ of dimension three. Suppose that they have no common irreducible component and that the real analytic map-germ given by the multiplication of f by…

Let $G$ be a group. We say that an element $f\in G$ is {\em reversible in} $G$ if it is conjugate to its inverse, i.e. there exists $g\in G$ such that $g^{-1}fg=f^{-1}$. We denote the set of reversible elements by $R(G)$. For $f\in G$, we…

For analytic map germs $f: (\mathbb{R}^n, 0)\to (\mathbb{R}, 0)$ having an isolated critical value in the origin with $\dim V(f)>0$ and satisfying the transversality property of D.B. Massey we show that for $c>0$ a large enough constant,…

We prove that the preimage of a germ of a singular analytic hypersurface under a germ of a finite holomorphic map $g: (\mathbb{C}^n,0) \rightarrow (\mathbb{C}^n,0)$ is again singular. This provides a generalization of previous results of…
