In this paper we address the problem of classifying complex (non-homogeneous) quasihomogeneous polynomials in two variables under bi-Lipschitz equivalence. We prove that pairs of such polynomials are (right) bi-Lipschitz equivalent as function-germs at $0\in\mathbb{C}^{2}$ iff they are analytically equivalent.
We show that two bi-Lipschitz equivalent Brieskorn-Pham hypersurfaces have the same multiplicities at $0$. Moreover we show that if two algebraic $(n-1)$-dimensional cones $P, R\subset\mathbb C^n$ with isolated singularities are homeomorphic, then they have the same degree.
In this article, we show the H\"older invariance of the Henry-Parusinski invariant. For a single germ $ f$, the Henry-Parusinski invariant of $ f $ is given in terms of the leading coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of $ f $ along the branches of the generic polar curve of $f$. As a consequence, we obtain that the classification problem of polynomial function-germs, with uniformly bounded degree, under H\"older equivalence, admits continuous moduli.
We show that for every $k\ge 3$ there exist complex algebraic cones of dimension $k$ with isolated singularities, which are bi-Lipschitz and semi-algebraically equivalent but they have different degrees. We also prove that homeomorphic projective hypersurfaces with dimension greater than 2 have the same degree. In the final part of the paper, we classify links of real cones with base $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^2.$ As an application we give an example of three four dimensional real algebraic cones in $\mathbb{R}^8$ with isolated singularity which are semi-algebraically and bi-Lipschitz equivalent but they have non-homeomorphic bases.
In the paper \cite{renato} Renato Targino shows that bi-Lipschitz type of plane curve is determined by the local ambient topological properties of curves. Here we show that it is not longer true in higher dimensions. However we show that bi-Lipschitz type of space curves is determined by the number of singular points and by the local ambient topological type of a generic projection of such curves into the affine plane.
The multiplicity of an algebraic curve $C$ in the complex plane at a point $p$ on that curve is defined as the number of points that occur at the intersection of $C$ with a general complex line that passes close to the point $p$. It is shown that $p$ is a singular point of the curve $C$ if and only if this multiplicity is greater than or equal to 2, in this sense, such an integer number can be considered as a measure of how singular can be a point of the curve $C$. In these notes, we address the classical concept of multiplicity of singular points of complex algebraic sets (not necessarily complex curves) and we approach the nature of the multiplicity of singular points as a geometric invariant from the perspective of the Multiplicity Conjecture (Zariski 1971). More precisely, we bring a discussion on the recent results obtained jointly with Lev Birbrair, Javier Fern\'andez de Bobadilla, L\^e Dung Trang and Mikhail Verbitsky on the bi-Lipschitz invariance of the multiplicity.
We classify semi-algebraic surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with isolated singularities up to bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms with respect to the inner distance. In particular, we obtain complete classifications for the Nash surfaces and the complex algebraic curves. We also address the minimal surfaces with finite total curvature.
The paper is devoted to metric properties of singularities. We investigate the relations among topology, metric properties and smoothness. In particular, we present some higher dimensional analogous of Mumford's theorem on smoothness of normal surfaces. For example, we prove that a complex analytic set, with an isolated singularity at $0$, is smooth at $0$ if and only if it is locally metrically conical at $0$ and its link at $0$ is a homotopy sphere.
In this paper, we prove Fukui-Kurdyka-Paunescu's Conjecture, which says that subanalytic arc-analytic bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms preserve the multiplicities of real analytic sets. We also prove several other results on the invariance of the multiplicity (resp. degree) of real and complex analytic (resp. algebraic) sets. For instance, still in the real case, we prove a global version of Fukui-Kurdyka-Paunescu's Conjecture. In the complex case, one of the results that we prove is the following: If $(X,0)\subset (\mathbb{C}^n,0), (Y,0)\subset (\mathbb{C}^m,0)$ are germs of analytic sets and $h\colon (X,0)\to (Y,0)$ is a semi-bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism whose graph is a complex analytic set, then the germs $(X,0)$ and $(Y,0)$ have the same multiplicity. One of the results that we prove in the global case is the following: If $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n, Y\subset \mathbb{C}^m$ are algebraic sets and $\phi\colon X\to Y$ is a semialgebraic semi-bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism such that the closure of its graph in $\mathbb{P}^{n+m}(\mathbb{C})$ is an orientable homological cycle, then ${\rm deg}(X)={\rm deg}(Y)$.
Let $X$ be a closed semialgebraic set of dimension $k.$ If $n\ge 2k+1$, then there is a bi-Lipschitz and semialgebraic embedding of $X$ into $\Bbb R^n.$ Moreover, if $n \ge 2k+2$, then this embedding is unique (up to a bi-Lipschitz and semialgebraic homeomorphism of $\Bbb R^n.$
We address the question of the bi-Lipschitz local triviality of a complex polynomial function over a complex value. Our main result state that a non constant complex polynomial admits a locally bi-Lipschitz trivial value if and only if it is a polynomial in a single complex variable.
We prove that the set of non-properness of a polynomial mapping of the three dimensional space which is a local homeomorphism cannot be homeomorphic to the real line $\R.$
It was conjectured that multiplicity of a singularity is bi-Lipschitz invariant. We disprove this conjecture, constructing examples of bi-Lipschitz equivalent complex algebraic singularities with different values of multiplicity.
We study invariance of multiplicity of complex analytic germs and degree of complex affine sets under outer bi-Lipschitz transformations (outer bi-Lipschitz homeomorphims of germs in the first case and outer bi-Lipschitz homeomorphims at infinity in the second case). We prove that invariance of multiplicity in the local case is equivalent to invariance of degree in the global case. We prove invariance for curves and surfaces. In the way we prove invariance of the tangent cone and relative multiplicities at infinity under outer bi-Lipschitz homeomorphims at infinity, and that the abstract topology of a homogeneous surface germ determines its multiplicity.
We prove that any complex analytic set in $\mathbb{C}^n$ which is Lipschitz normally embedded at infinity and has tangent cone at infinity that is a linear subspace of $\mathbb{C}^n$ must be an affine linear subspace of $\mathbb{C}^n$ itself. No restrictions on the singular set, dimension nor codimension are required. In particular, a complex algebraic set in $\mathbb{C}^n$ which is Lipschitz regular at infinity is an affine linear subspace.
We prove that tangent cones of Lipschitz normally embedded sets are Lipschitz normally embedded. We also extend to real subanalytic sets the notion of reduced tangent cone and we show that subanalytic Lipschitz normally embedded sets have reduced tangent cones. In particular, we get that Lipschitz normally embedded complex analytic sets have reduced tangent cones.
We prove that if two germs of irreducible complex analytic curves at $0\in\mathbb{C}^2$ have different sequence of characteristic exponents, then there exists $0<\alpha<1$ such that those germs are not $\alpha$-H\"older homeomorphic. For germs of complex analytic plane curves with several irreducible components we prove that if any two of them are $\alpha$-H\"older homeomorphic, for all $0<\alpha<1$, then there is a correspondence between their branches preserving sequence of characteristic exponents and intersection multiplicity of pair of branches. In particular, we recovery the sequence of characteristic exponents of the branches and intersection multiplicity of pair of branches are Lipschitz invariant of germs of complex analytic plane curves.
Two blow-analytically equivalent real analytic plane function germs are sub-analytically bi-Lipschitz contact equivalent
