The Bruce–Roberts Number of A Function on A Hypersurface with Isolated Singularity

2020

AbstractLet $(X,0)$ be an isolated hypersurface singularity defined by $\phi \colon ({\mathbb{C}}^n,0)\to ({\mathbb{C}},0)$ and $f\colon ({\mathbb{C}}^n,0)\to{\mathbb{C}}$ such that the Bruce–Roberts number $\mu _{BR}(f,X)$ is finite. We first prove that $\mu _{BR}(f,X)=\mu (f)+\mu (\phi ,f)+\mu (X,0)-\tau (X,0)$, where $\mu $ and $\tau $ are the Milnor and Tjurina numbers respectively of a function or an isolated complete intersection singularity. Second, we show that the logarithmic characteristic variety $LC(X,0)$ is Cohen–Macaulay. Both theorems generalize the results of a previous paper by some of the authors, in which the hypersurface $(X,0)$ was assumed to be weighted homogeneous.

Image Milnor number and 𝒜 e -codimension for maps between weighted homogeneous irreducible curves

2019

Abstract Let (X, 0) ⊂ (ℂ n , 0) be an irreducible weighted homogeneous singularity curve and let f : (X, 0) → (ℂ2, 0) be a finite map germ, one-to-one and weighted homogeneous with the same weights of (X, 0). We show that 𝒜 e -codim(X, f) = μI (f), where the 𝒜 e -codimension 𝒜 e -codim(X, f) is the minimum number of parameters in a versal deformation and μI (f) is the image Milnor number, i.e. the number of vanishing cycles in the image of a stabilization of f.

Families of ICIS with constant total Milnor number

2021

We show that a family of isolated complete intersection singularities (ICIS) with constant total Milnor number has no coalescence of singularities. This extends a well-known result of Gabriélov, Lazzeri and Lê for hypersurfaces. We use A’Campo’s theorem to see that the Lefschetz number of the generic monodromy of the ICIS is zero when the ICIS is singular. We give a pair applications for families of functions on ICIS which extend also some known results for functions on a smooth variety.
