Ruas's conjecture on Whitney equisingularity of surface families
Ruas's conjecture on Whitney equisingularity of surface families
Let be a finitely determined map germ, and let be a -parameter unfolding of , written as . Let denote the double point curve of , and let be its Milnor number. Ruas's conjecture. If is constant, then is Whitney equisingular. This conjecture proposes that constancy of the Milnor number of the double point curve is the unique necessary and sufficient invariant controlling Whitney equisingularity in these families; the converse of Whitney equisingularity implying topological triviality is asserted for this setting, but the supplied text gives no resolution.
