Milnor–Tjurina conjecture for non-complete-intersection surface singularities in C4

Let (V,0)(V,0) be a normal surface singularity in C4\mathbb C^4 that is not a complete intersection. Milnor–Tjurina conjecture in C4.

μτ1,\mu\geq \tau-1,

with equality if and only if (V,0)(V,0) is quasi-homogeneous. The claim concerns the non-Gorenstein determinantal case, where the semi-universal deformation has smooth base and α=0\alpha=0. The source presents it as an open conjecture following discussion of the difficulty of computing the Milnor number.
