Extract

In (3), Cor. 2 to Th. 1, the first author proved that in the complex jet space Jk (n, 1) the orbits of simple singularities form canonical strata. By definition the canonical stratification is contact invariant so the proof consisted essentially of two steps: firstly, any two functions in the same canonical stratum are C0-equivalent by right-left changes of coordinates, and secondly, the right codimension (and hence the Milnor number) of an isolated complex singularity is a topological invariant.
