The tangent-cone Milnor-fiber conjecture for embedded topologically equivalent hypersurface germs
The tangent-cone Milnor-fiber conjecture for embedded topologically equivalent hypersurface germs
Let be two germs of holomorphic functions. Their initial forms are their lowest-degree nonzero homogeneous parts, and their Milnor fibers are the corresponding Milnor fibers at the origin. Tangent-cone Milnor-fiber conjecture. If and are embedded topologically equivalent, then the Milnor fibers of their initial forms are homotopy equivalent. This conjecture concerns Zariski's Problem B and proposes that, despite the tangent cones themselves having different topology in known examples, their Milnor fibers retain the same homotopy type; its general status is not resolved in the source.
