Abstract

Let f:(Cn,0)(Cn+1,0)f:(\mathbb{C}^n,0)\rightarrow (\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0) be a corank 1 finitely determined map germ. For a generic linear form p:(Cn+1,0)(C,0)p:(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)\to(\mathbb{C},0) we denote by g:(Cn1,0)(Cn,0)g:(\mathbb{C}^{n-1},0)\rightarrow (\mathbb{C}^{n},0) the transverse slice of ff with respect to pp. We prove that the sum of the image Milnor numbers μI(f)+μI(g)\mu_I(f)+\mu_I(g) is equal to the number of critical points of the stratified Morse function pXs:XsCp|_{X_s}:X_s\to\mathbb{C}, where XsX_s is the disentanglement of ff (i.e., the image of a stabilisation fsf_s of ff).
