Abstract

Applications of singularity theory give rise to many questions concerning deformations of singularities. Unfortunately, satisfactory answers are known only for simple singularities and partially for unimodal ones. The aim of this paper is to give some insight into decompositions of multi-modal singularities with unimodal leading part. We investigate the Jk,0 singularities which have modality k - 1 but the quasihomogeneous part of their normal form only depends on one modulus.

Keywords

hypersurface singularity, j-invariant, underdiagonal deformation, shift transformation, quasihomogeneous transformation
