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.

Given a real analytic set $X$ in a complex manifold and a positive integer $d$, denote by ${{\mathcal{A}}^{d}}$ the set of points $p$ in $X$ at which there exists a germ of a complex analytic set of dimension $d$ contained in $X$. It is proved that ${{\mathcal{A}}^{d}}$ is a closed semianalytic subset of $X$.

It is shown that if E, F are Fréchet spaces, E ∈ (Hub), F ∈ (DN) then H(E, F) = Hub(E, F) holds. Using this result we prove that a Fréchet space E is nuclear and has the property (Hub) if and only if every entire function on E with values in a Fréchet space F ∈ (DN) can be represented in the exponential form. Moreover, it is also shown that if H(F*) has a LAERS and E ∈ (Hub) then H(E × F*) has a LAERS, where E, F are nuclear Fréchet spaces, F* has an absolute basis, and conversely, if H(E × F*) has a LAERS and F ∈ (DN) then E ∈ (Hub).
