On the topology of the transversal slice of a quasi-homogeneous map germ
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 October 2023
Abstract
We consider a corank 1, finitely determined, quasi-homogeneous map germ f from $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ to
$(\mathbb{C}^3,0)$. We describe the embedded topological type of a generic hyperplane section of
$f(\mathbb{C}^2)$, denoted by
$\gamma_f$, in terms of the weights and degrees of f. As a consequence, a necessary condition for a corank 1 finitely determined map germ
$g\,{:}\,(\mathbb{C}^2,0)\rightarrow (\mathbb{C}^3,0)$ to be quasi-homogeneous is that the plane curve
$\gamma_g$ has either two or three characteristic exponents. As an application of our main result, we also show that any one-parameter unfolding
$F=(f_t,t)$ of f which adds only terms of the same degrees as the degrees of f is Whitney equisingular.
